THE ORPHEUM.

It's a fair average bill at the Orpheum
this week, with well selected variety
and the regular amount of laughs. c.
d. Schettler and Master Willie Stafford
open the bill with mandolin and guitar
duets and solos, which are genuine musl-
cal treats. They are both well known
i'm Salt Lake as teacher and pupil, and
naturally they were well received. Their
act, however. needs no show of pride in
home talent to flavor comment, for it is
as good as any similar act that has ap-
peared on the local vaudeville stage in
recent years. Master Stafford shows per-
feet mastery of the mandolin, playing with
wonderful technique and artistic feeling.
Professor ScheUtler's guitar playing shows
an excellence seldom eQualed on that in
strument. The act would be a feature in
any company.
Bob Matthews and Herbert Ashley
have comedy sketch which kept them
busy for their full time, and they left
with the audience insisting for more.
Margaret Fealy and her company, in
Witches Hour and Candle Light" pre-
scented a sketch that took well, although
lacking finish in its action at one or two
important points. Stage settings for the
parlOr in the old southern mansion were
probably the best seen on a local stage
in years. Oscar Grey briggs, who sup
ports Mrs. Fealy as the old southern gen
tleman, is also a favOrite in Salt Lake,
having appeared in The Mills of the
Gods" at the Colonial a few months ago
and later with Ralph Stewart.
Miss Christine Labarraque, billed as
THE Girl Behind the Veil" sang several
selections in beautiful voice. Miss La
barraus is blind, the title Of the act be-
ing selected to give it an air of mystery.
She was handicapped last night by the
fact that her trunk failed to arrive from
Portland and new OrchestratiOn of her
music and new costumes had to be pro-
cured yesterday.
Frank J. Conroy, George LeMarie and
Maud George have a skit entitled "A
King for Night which was scream
from start to finish. Clever composition
and management, with good acting all
through, made il an unquestioned success,
if laughter is a fair criterion. Charles D
Weber, eccentric juggler, has improved
his act which is one of the best of its
kind. The six American dancers, prob
ably the best dancing act on the road
which was seen at Saltair last season.

THE REPUBLICANS SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. MONDAY SEPT TO- 1909

by the Willard Mack stock company,
is that 1t is necessary to produce any
more characters than The Girl as
played by Blanche Douglas and Inc
Road Agent as played by Willo I'd
Meek. To be sure they are the Drin-
cipal characters and they arc given a
real western setting, but with both off
the stage, as must inevitably happen
at times, the production drags lament
ably. AS The Girl, Blanche DOus as
Is playing the greatest character of her
career. When David Belasco first pro-
dLreC the Girl of the Golden West"
with Blanche Bates as The Girl, it was
SAID that the character had been writ
ten for Miss Bates. Many believed that
for time, but one who has seen Miss
Douglas in the part must confess that
Mr.. BeIasco could have had no better
heroine in mind than Miss Douglas.
I he delightful insOuCiance and abandon
which Miss Douglas generally puts
into her work, and which is 50 often
misplaced is most aprOpOs as The Girl.
II is the fad to say that successful
actress lives the part she portrays,
but IL is something that can De said
of Miss Douglas without encrOaching
upon fiction. Her performance Is fin
ished. It is even greater than her Work
as The Girl when Mr. Mack put II on
at the Colonial theatre last season. 1t
is unfortunate that the Girl OF the
Golden West" must be dropped in time
and something else taken up by the
Mack company.
As The Road Agent, Willard Mack
excels anything he has put on in SAT-
Lake. All of the listlessness, careless
ness and slovenly work Of last week IS
dropped, and Mr. Mack worked as he
probably never worked before t. DO
himself credit, and he has certainly
done SO. Under proper management IN
a theatre where there is stage room,
with sufficient backing to employ ca
pable support for himself and Miss
Douglas, Mr.. Mack would rise to
success which his many friends earnest
~ wish him.
As it is, an imperfectly drilled COM
pany an impossible orchestra and a
noisy gallery which the management
did not even attempt to suppress, dld
its best to ruin the production, ana
but for the splendid work OF MIR. Muck
and Miss Douglas would nave sue
ceeded. Airing Alcine worked hard to
make the part of Jack Rance what II
ought to be, but a gambling western
sheriff with the effeminate ways ana
voice of Mr.. Alcine gives him would
have been run out Of the Polka saloon
long before The Girl was old enough
1t is believed that the production will
run more smoothly during the remainder
of the week The last act was barely I'M
ished this morning in time to permit the
PATRONS of the Grand to eaten the last
car for home "a
The gallery stayed late and enjoyed it
self Thoroughly. At no time in the even
ing was there a dull moment in the gar
lery, although those down stairs wished
there had been. Many wondered why the
Grand MANAGEMENT did not restore order
and permit those to hear who wished TO
do so.

200 MANY BOYS
GO TO COLLEGE
Higher Education Not Unmixed
Blessing, Says the Rev.
Elmer |. Goshen.
WANTS HANDS EDUCATED
DIGNITY OF MANUAL LABOR EN-
PHASIZEO BY PASTOR.

In his sermon at the forenoon service
at the First Congregational church yester-
rday the Rev Elmer I. Goshen paid a
splendid tribute to the laboring man. He
spoke of the great work of the world and
said that the work of the hand was of
equal Importance 90 the work of the mind
The training Of the hand should be given
quite as much attention as the training
of the mind
Inasmuch as yesterday was devoted to
the young people. the speaker announced
his sermon would be in the line Of en-
enlargement TO them He reviewed briefly
the great work of the world that had
been done by young men, He cited an
amazing number of instances in which
men under thirty mad accomplished things
that made for them names that were i'm
peTishable
The necessity of the teaching of the
young to do manual labor was the central
thought OF the sermon. He spoke of the
ShiDWreckS of the lives of persons who
mad been given a higher education for
which they were often untitled Many, he
, said, were fitted for this higher education
and made good use of il, but there We're
others who would have been better had
the same attention been devoted TO their
instruction in the trades.
DR.. Goshen deplored the fact that the
spirit Of the times appeared to be toward
degrading of manual and domestic work
and the ennobilng of the work that might
be done with clean clothes. He paid a
great tribute to union labor. He asked
now many there were who had seen the
LABOR day parade. He said that in the
races OF the labOring men who marched
in that parade there was as much intel
hgence, as much appreciation of oppor-
tunlty as could be found in any procession
that might be formed. This statement
was greeted with applause.
The importation OF labOrers from for
elgn countries to do the labor that Ameri-
cans We're ceaslng TO do was deplOred by
She speaker. He said that the country
was going too far toward higher educa-
non TO the neglect of the training for
manual labor, and that a change in this
respect was inevitable

mHELLO. BILL.n

Bright, snappy lines, pretty costumes
and series of ridiculous situations COM
bined to make Hello, Bill'' a bowling
success as a farce comedy on It's open-
ing night at the Bungalow theatre last
night under the direction of Alfred r
SWenSOn. 1t was the first night of the
SwensOn company in Salt Lake, and there
was naturally a limited amount of stiff
ness exhibited in the performance, but
the large aulience showed by the continu-
Gus laughter that it was being amused
And, as that is the only mission of
farce comedy, Hello, Bill" was a sue
cess.
The three-act play is much on the order
Of THE Man from Mexico" and is every
bit as clever as that success among farce
comedies. There is not q time during the
three acts that there is not a laugh,
brought out spontaneously by the clever
lines well spoken.
Alfred SwensOn is known in Salt Lake
through his sterling work in 1.-THE Wolf
and in "COrianton." He suffers nothing
in a farce. Miss Frances Hooper, who
takes the part of Isabella" is as dainty
and charming as one could wish. Her
acting is strong, but II does seem that
she is more of the ingenue type. 1t is her
first appearance in Salt Lake, and those
who saw her last night will want to
see more Of her work. Dorothy Meeks and
Rena Bayless are both we'll qualified to
help along the fun. George c. Stanley
makes a capital General Fuller" and
Stanley JonassOn, as christopher Cut
ting" the man who fixes things, does
more than his share in the entertain
ment. John Thorn, a handsome young
fellow who is Ned Hemenway," takes
well from the first time he appears upon
the stage
The farce has to do with a William
Fuller, who is caught in the raid of
gambling house, and then, to keen the
matter from his wife impersOnates Gen.
eral Fuller and lives in New Jersey for
three months, while he is supposed to
be killing Spaniards in Cuba Laughable
situations crowd one upon the other in
quick succession and combine to make
a screaming comedy.
The play will run all this week at the
Bungalow. and will likely get better with
each performances

SALT LAKE THEATRE.

NM. Robert de Flers and g. de Cailla-
vet the authors of Love Watches the
comedy in which Miss Billie Burke Will
be seen at the Salt Lake theatre for half
a week, beginning Thursday, Sept. q, are
said to be the legitimate successors or
MaiIhac and Halevy, who wrote "Frou
Frou." and who were for many years
the adored of the French theatre. MN
de Flers and de Caillavet, IL is said, have
the same delightful appreciation as the
older writer's of what the French call
s1es petites sentiments" They have an
exquisite wit. they know theatrical val
ues thoroughly, and they get their hu-
NOR and fun and dramatic situations with
ont vIlgaritv. The sale of seats opens
at the box office tomorrow.

that Pelton & Shutter should sign up
some time in Arizona and New Mexico
for One-night stands. This was agreed TO
during the summer, but as 1t was too
hot to work, PeltOn & Shutter put off
too long the task of getting the Arizona
and New Mexico playhOuses.
Meanwhile, John COrt had heard all
about it. He wired his Salt Lake mana
ger, r. A Grant. to take little trip and
sign up for himself and his fellow MEM
beTs of the syndicate the houses which
the independent Shuberts wanted. Mana
ger Grant quietly did so. and there is
the reason why PeltOn & Shutter are
playing tank dramas in their Denver
house and a stock company at Salt Lake.

New York, Sept. I9.-An Interesting
story is being told at the offices of the
Shubert Brothers here concerning one Of
the reasons why the P. & S. theatre in
Denver and the Grand theatre in Salt
Lake were not included in the list of Shu-
bert theatres, as 1t had been widely ad-
vertised in both cities that the Pelton &
Shutter theatres would play the Shu-
bert attractions
It has been learned that the willy John
COrt, general manager of the North
western Theatrical association, stopped
the performance. To play the Pelton &
Shutter houses in Denver and Salt Lake,
1t was made conditional by the Shuberts

Party Studies polar Bear at Close
Range In Geological oarden--Wili

lRy AssocInted Press. }

NE WYORK.. Oct. AFTER months
within the Arctic circle the members
of Commander Robert e. Peary's polar
expedition spent today exploring the
vicinity OF latitude 40 degrees and As
minutes north and longitude "A west.
They made many discoveries in and
about New York for few OF them hao
ever been sightseeing In large city
before.
They found that II was not alone
in the frigid north that the reindeer,
muskox, the polar bear and other
Arctic fauna might be seen. With
but few exceptions they found them
all in New York-housed In the same
! building with the boa constructor and
lcther tropical life-at the American
Museum of Natural History. There
were ten men from the Roosevelt in
the party. including Matt Hensen. the
colored man who shared with Peary
the honors OF the dash to the pole.
At the geological gaden they dis
covered a real live polar bear and
spent much more time studying the
old fellow ut close range than would
have been pleasant In the north. From
here part of the crew returned to
the Roosevelt, while the others re-
manned ashore to see the artificial mid
night sun of Broadway. Tho crew
will disband tomorrow.
At the American Museum of Natural
Histofy two sledges which Comman-
der Peary used in the dash to the
pole and other exhibits of the journey
will be placed on view. An entire
wing of the museum has been turned
into "Peary section" and more than
