VILE 1t requires three acts to bring the
play up to the climax. and the fourth act
is given over to making everybody happy,
which happy condition is attained at the
end. The play runs for week at the
Bungalow, with matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
For the second time within a space of
two months Babes in TOyland is play
ing a weeks engagement at the Colonial
The opening performance was given last
evening to a large and thoroughly appre-
ciative audience. Upon the occasion of
the opening of the original engagement
which was very successful. The Herald
criticism contained the following:
Herewith are enumerated some of its
virtues:
81 The costumes are fetching, the stage
pictures pretty and the maneuyers effec-
tive.
80. The music is unusually tuneful, ly-
RIGS and all.
"3. Lines are bright. and many taking
local hits are inteTDolated-
81. The humor is clean, and really you
laugh heartily and almost continuously.
.. The principal comedian really CON-
edes, and the others are pretty good, too
IS. There are many novel effects in the
way of stage business and specialties-
-. Practically all the principals come
well up to the average or go away head
Of it.
IS. Instead of filling the stage up with
a small army of NUTS, the manage
menl has selected p lesser number OF
chorus girls who really can sing, who are
well trained in voice and movement and
in every other way. none of whom are
altogether lacking in comeiiness and some
of whom are genuine beauties.
-. The songs have point as well as mel
Ody, and the singers are trained to enun-
ciate so the audience can understand wnat
it is all about-a virtue so rare in comic
opera or extravaganza principals ana
chOTuses that the exception should De
emblazoned upon the skies.
10. While there is no plot that can De
detected without the aid Of a miscroscope,
there is plenty of action at all times, and
the interest never flags
There are other things which might be
said in praise, but ten such virtues are
enough to recommend the production to
anybody who seeks pleasure in the the
atre and who does not demand the SOM
Der to make him happy Furthermore,
children and grown folks can enjoy II
aIike.-and if you have children, you are
depriving them of treat if you do not
let them go some time before the engage
ment closes next Saturday evening
Since the last appearance of the COM
pany in Salt Lake. there has been some
changes in its personnel, all of which
have added to its strength. Gus PlXley
and Beth Tate easily carried off the hon
ors at last nights performance, and were
calls. The performance goes the entire
week with the usual matinees.
One of the daintiest and sweetest songs
sung in this city in some time Is being
sung at the Lyric this week. 1t was writ
ten and composed by two of Salt Lake 5
popular young men. Erwin Larson ana
VIII D. Phillips Both of these young
men are well known. Mr.. Larson conduct
ed the Larson Trio" which won so much
approval at the Lyric during the past
summer and fail, while Mr.. Phillips is~tf1e
soloist at that popular place of amuse-
ment. The title of the new song that was
sung for the first time Saturday evening
is "Auline" It was illustrated for the
Lyric by Chicago artists and is one of the
best pieces of work ever turned out by
the finn. IN the motion pictures this week
no fasI1t can he found. They are all most
interesting \ goOdly mixture of comedy,
drama and educational features compose
the bill.
