BUNGALOW THEATRE.

IN 'Raffles,' the play made famous by
KyrlG BelleW, the Arlington players
opened at the Bungalow theatre last
night Tt IS SO distiucrvely one-p3rt
play that, aside from Mr.. InCe in the title
role, few of the company had important
work, though, on the whole IT may De
said that the support IS better than in
''The Love Route The players work
together and 'RaflIes' is q complete pro-
ductiOG without the amateUrish loose ends
that are often the hopeless features OF
stock offerings.
.'Raffles' has long been popular as O
detective story. but the play does not lUl-
low the lines of the book. except in the
principal part. As played .by Mr. 1nce,
one recognizes the educated. Sentlelndnly
rogue of the story, whose adventures IN
house breaking are the chief interest or
the plot The recovery OF a diamond neck
lace stolen by the famous Crdckman at
a house party, his confession ana subss-
queuJ escape afford many dramatic stu
atoms. but the play drags badly in the
first act, which is mainly explanatory
dialogue.
The third act gives some good oppor-
uuities and here Mr.. lHce IS at his peSt'
especially i'm his scene with CraWsnay,
the real burglar. This part. played by
W. W. Craig. is particularly well done,
and it is to be hoped Chat he VIII he
seen often I'm more important parts. Miss
Crai ghtou IS excellent as GwendOlyn Con
ron and Miss Brandt who played for the
first time last night il this company, was
strong in her part
The costumes were very good, but the
play was not wei staged though little
scenery IS needed. What was used should
have been good. Recent improvements
made at the Bungalow admirably fit it
to be the home Of a stock company, ana
the success Of the Arlington players in the
plays already presented Indicate very
satisfactory season fOi them and much
good entertainment for Salt Lake thea
tregoers. "Raffles' runs for the week,
with Thursday and Saturday matinees.

ADJUSTMENTS
ORPHEUM THEATRE.

Everything at the Orpheum this week
is light and breezy. The bill is probably
the best at the theater this season. Each
act is unusually good and the entire bill
is one long laugh.
The theater was packed to the doors
last night, and even those WHO were
forced to stand up at the rear were inn
meuseiy pleased with the bill Though il
lacked variation in the style Of acts, this
fact did not detract from the entertain
ment
Harry H. Richards in his decidedly
comic opera buTletta- Love las Mode
is the funniest thing Of the season. 1t
was the iOlliesL act on q Jolly bill. Mr.
Richards was Cleverly supported by Miss
Dorothy Daley and Miss Adele Ferguson.
The singing in the burletta was especially
good.
The fauciest In the terpIschorean indus
try is Miss Beth stone, who opens the
bill with "tOpsy-Jurvyi toe dancing. Her
feet twinkle "a thousand times a second
and appear to enjoy tine pace. The 'MUSl-
cal J0hnsons" get the most out of the
hackneyed EylophOHe turn. They play
classical and ragtime music with equal
grace.
Griff Is q ventriIoqulst with apparently
baby of the "Newlvveds' and Hamlet
without an effort. George, a Londoner
who iests while he juggles. adds to the
success Of Griffs act
Herbert and Willing, I'm black face, are
as funny as ever. Their jokes are new
and their dancing decidedly clever. Sam
WatsOn's Farmysrd circus is as good as
It ever was and a little better, DOnkeys,
dogs, cats and ROSTERS contribute TO the
fun. THE Little Pink PiE,' gOWned in
baby clothes and riding baby cab, Is
the star of the circus.
Clever dancing by Walter SchrO0e and
Miss Lizzie Mulyey in a Theatrical
Agency closes an excellent bill.

Recitals are incOnclusive' ne said to-
day. They contain plenty of literature
effect but small detail, ana they lack
exact information. Personally j think
that both Commander Peary and Dr.. Cook
should be asked TO produce their proofs
maps and diaries.
Until that is done the scientific world
has the right to entertain scientific doubt
This does not imply distTust but it is
proper that a demonstration should be
given 1t is possible that both DIR. Cook
and Commander Peary reached the pole
but why one rather than the other?
think al documents should be submitted

trUnOmers, uavigatOrs and polar experts
Every document should be produced in
order that the conclusion may be def

TN the United States the scientists. ac-

into CuOkiSts and Pearylsts. Therefore
an American verdict would convince no

Soldiers of Fortune" by Richard Hard

incidents connected with the making and
the undoing of a South American repUb-
lie. was the offering OF the willard Mack
Stock company at the Grand theatre last
night. The production was given a most
capable presentation, both in the reading
of lines and in the stage setting.
In this popular play have been seen
many strong actors in the role Of Robert
Clay. soldier OF fortune, but their recep-
ton in the part could hardly have been
more royal than that accorded Mr. Mack
last night
There is enough Of the melodramatic
running through the play TO furnish thrills
in plenty. The stirring incidents OF
the Soldiers OF Fortune take place In

can, after having served under many

The cast has been strengthened and
the various parts were in capable hands.
Blanche Douglas proved a charming and

EXPLORER COOK
POPULAR HERO
NOrWegianS Believe in Him and
Give Vent to Their En-
thuSiaSm.

On Board the Steamer Oscar, Sept. r.
by Wireless Telegraph, via Christiansaud.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook. whose arrival
yesterday at Chrlstiansaud was greeted
by a salute OF seven guns from the fort
by the special order OF King HaakOn and
who was the object Of the greatest en-
thUsiasm during his brief stop there, was
given q notable farewell when the Oscar
II. steamed out of the port. He was well
coined aboard the Scandinavian liner by
more than a thousand passengers who
crowded her decks, headed by Captain
Moller ana Captain Hempel, with all the
ships officers in full uniform.
The oscar II sailed down the ford &C
cOmpanied by a score of excursion
steamers with bands playing the national
airs until the open sea was reached The
liner was gaily decorated and a. ship
tended suite had been reserved for the
American explorer.
At lunch DR.. Cook joined freely in the
conversation regarding his polar trip. He
told of a report current among the Eski-
mos last year that q dirigible balloon had
sailed over Greenland, and it was thought
Walter WCllmau had made q start Tor
the pole. The EskimOs, he said, described
a Cigar-shapad balloon with comparative
accuracy, but as nothing further has since
been asc5rtsined about If, it was TO be
presumed that the Eskimos had been mis-
taken.
