wi, nav his annual visit TO the
Salt Lake theater next Thursday.
FRIDAY and Saturday, May 20, Fl, and
%, in Jack Straw" the comedy by
w. Somerset Maugham, in which ne
recently closed a four months ell
sagement at the Empire theater New
York. Mr. Vaughan is one of the
newest of the English playwriglits,
but his work has already placed MIN
in the front rank Of his profession.
He enjoys the unusual distinction OF
having had four of his plays running
simultaneously at four of the leading
London theatres last season and all
successes, too Only a fortnight ago,
X still another, "Penelopc' was produc-5
ed there and it too, was a success.
Charles E'rohman has the American
rights for all of these plays, and ne
has already presented two of them
lack straw, and Lady Frederick
8 in which Miss Barrymore is appearing
in America and their success here has
been the same as it was abroad.
Jack Straw is a light comedy with
IN undercurent of keen satire that
renders it doubly interesting. The
character drawing, as III az OIL MT.
Maugtam's plays, is especially clear
and the dialogue is, always bright and
witty without being tlresomely cpl
grammatic. The situations are ex-
tremely amusing and 1t is quite safe to
say that no better or more thoroughly
enjoyable evenings entertainment
will be presented here this season.
Mr.. Drew is suited in the role of the
masauerading prince and 1t has been
a long time since he was seen to bet
+ ter advantage. Mr.. Frohman has sup.
piled him with particularly good
supporting company this year too.

Goldsmith, Mario Majeroni, L. Soldenes
Powell and Edwin Nicander.
There is marked interest in the
Forthcoming appearances OF Ethel Bar
rymore at the Salt Lake theater, May
u, rs, and 90, when she Will be seen in
her latest success, Lady Frederick.
In. which she has recently completed
q notably successful engagement at
the Hudson theater in New York. Miss
Barrymore is always a welcome yisl-5a
tor here In Lady Frederick" she Is
seen as an attractive Irish widow
hopelessly In debt, living in most ex-
travaEant style at Monte Carlo and
with an army of suitors for her hand.
