MISSION THEATRE.

Next Wednesday night the Mission
theatre viii open its doors to the thea
tre-goers Of Salt Lake. With the open
ing Salt Lake will possess one Of the
most distinctive and novel theatres I'm
the entire country. The Mission is mod
eled after the old missions of California,
the heavy panels and arches playing am
important part in the general design of
the house. Upon entering the lobby of
the new house, one is at once impressed
that this is indeed the theatre differ

Reality and simplicity are said to be

ments that contribute to every dramatic
work that has lived and thrived with
accommodating years. As the average
American play-goer likes a clean plaC,
so also he prefers a play of native To-
Gale and characters. Misses Frame
and Mayo have found a fertile field in
the female college, and have transplant
ed to the usages of the stage some Of
the most attractive of the types that
abound i'm those institutions.
Kate Wells, senior president is the

Salt Lake theatre tomorrow night for a
three days engagement. THE Talk of
New York" is said to be just the sort
Of a musical comedy that folks take to
as a yearling to bluegrass. 1t goes with
out saying that 'The Talk of New
York" is another of those remarkab BILE
illusions from the prolific pen of George
VI. COhan, whose very audacity of pur-
pose, delightful disregard for stage con-
VentiOn, phiiosophic viewpoint, homely
sentiment and bounding optimism again
have lUred him into the previously I'M
explored and self-discOvered field of
melOdTamatic musical comedy. 1t was
in his amazingly successful 'Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway that the
young ard versatile Conan first at
tempted the innovation. and, to use the
language of his own kid Burns" crea-
ton, got away with it," 'The Talk Of
New York. may be said to be in a sense
a sequel of that play, for again kid
Burns is the central figure and hero,
and the last act takes the audience back
to New Rochelle, where, incidentally,
Cohan makes ample apology for his for
mer ridiculC Of that place, which is only
Forty-fve Minutes From Broadway"
Victor Moore has played the character
Of Kid Burns, the gOOd-natured, big
hearted 'DrOtn OF boy who was loyal
TO those who tried to transform him
from a race track tout into a youth of
polish and refinement, and it was i'm the
New Rochelle mission, which, save for
his honesty would have been lost to the
righttul heir, that Cohan left him i'm
the previous play. Now he IS graduated
as race track plunger, the height of
his former ambition, and the line of new
"patter' he had accumulated in the in
term is sufficiently original to plunge
his most versatile heaTer into UnWOnted
parOXysms of laughter, and even startle
that past master of all slang-slingers.
George AIDE. The scenes are laid at the
Sheepshead Bay race track, the lobby
Of the Hotel Astor, the Booth lawn at
ClaremOnt on Riverside Drive, and the
exterior of the home of Kid Burns in
New Rochelle, and each act VIII be
found crowded with the same dimpled
damsels, the same pretentious chorus,
succession Of song hits and clever play
eTs that always characterize a Conan
production. The company and massive
scenic production is the identical one
which delighted the play-gOeTs of Chi
cagO and New York for over a year.

girls" When she is led to believe that
the thefts have been committed by one
of her best friends for the man she
CKate) loves, she sacrifices not only the
prospects of her career. but her reputa-
ton as well. The affair is Strengthened
out in a logical yet dramatic way. No
heroics are INDUCED in. and there is no
conventional villain. The stealing is
committed by one not practiced in
crime, and who carried it out without
realizing its full significance.
The story is marked by numerous
highly dramatic situations and climaxes.
The plot" however. is not Obstrusive,
and the human nature and comedy ele-
ments really dominate. The keynote is
girls" and they are there in all the
types that walk and talk through dor
mitOry and campus life. Besides Kate,
a noble and self-sacrifcing girl, and the
weak but heart-whole Lorraine" there
are among others the Dudley" twins,

settings are said to be strilzingly hand

STORM STILL RACES "a
CAUSES MUCH SUFFERING

New York, March A. Beginning
yesterday afternoon with rain that
turned to sleet and later to snow "a
blizzard swept down upon the Allan
tic seaboard last night and today
holds the whole coast in its grip.
Telegraph lines in all directions are
down or interrupted and reports
from almost every city tells Of suffer-
ing and loss by storm, which practl-
cally has tied up business.
The interruption of communication
with Washington, which was entirely
isolated this morning, was the cause
of great inconvenience on account of
the Inauguration.
Thousands of persons who left here
last night to attend the Inauguration
are in the stalled trains between
Wilmington, Del, and Baltimore, Md.
and probably will return to this city
without reaching their destination.
In other directions the railroad sit
uation is equally as bad or worse.
In this city the snow is pile dhigh
in drifts in the streets so that traffic
is practically blocked. This evening
the storm shows no sign of abate-
ment
In the poorer districts suffering Is
severe. The charity organizations re-
port an unprecedented number of ap-
plications on account of the great
number of unemployed, who have
thrown themselves upon the mercy
OF the public.
Commuters were practically cut on
from their Offices today and no line is
able to move trains according to sche-
dule. Reports from Washington to
the local weather bureau say that
the blizzard in that section is unpre-
cedented.
