ATTRACTIONS THIS WEEK
SALT LAKE THEATRE.

At the Salt Lake theatre, for four
nights with a bargain matinee Wednes-
day, beginning tomorrow night, the
wonderfully popular and successful
play, I'm Old Kentucky" will be a well
come visitor. While there is very little
that hasn't been said in previous years,
in speaking of the merits of this sterling
attraction, yet the fact remains that it
has a remarkable hold on the affections
Of playgOers and no matter how often
it has been presented, it is as eagerly
greeted on each engagement here as if
ii were one of New YOTk's latest and
biggest current successes. In Old
Kentucky" is a play for all time. II
possesses the universal appeal, and
pleases everybody. The lapse of time
since it was first produced has not
caused its incidents to APPEAR old-fash-
Toned or it's dialogue stilted. Like old
wine, it has improved with age. For
the present season of 1909-10, it has been
organized and sent on the road with
probably the most capable cast and
with the most elaborate scenic outfit the
play has ever had. The part of Madge
Briefly, the heroic mountain girl, has
been assigned this year to a young and
talented actress, Miss Mildred Johnson,
who is said to give a most charming
of this delightful role
Bert G. Clark will give his inimitable
Characterization as the Colonel, a part
in which he has appeared almost con-
tinuously for all the years that I'm Old
Kentucky has been presented. That
ever novel feature of the play-the pick
not been neglected in this
years organization, and the score or
more of comica little cOIored lads, who
sing, dance and make mighty fine mu-
sic as a brass band, will enhance the
enjoyment Of the presentation by their
lively and amusing pranks and boyish
antics. Queen Bess" will win the big
race again, and all the other well re-
membered incidents will be forthcoming
once more to please the piaygoer.
The cast also includes Frank Dayton,
Joseph Slayter, Duncan Penwarden,
Barry Maxwell, Mae Helton and De-
cola Delaro.

NINE. SEMBRICH,

Nine. Marcella Sembrich is coming to
the Salt Lake theatre for one great re-
cital, December 9. She will be accom-
panied by Frank La Forge, a pianist
well known here, and Francis Rogers,
an eminent baritone. Mail orders for
tickets will be received now by Manager
Piper and filed during the week begin
ming tomorrow in the order Of receipt.
Nine. Sembrich declares that her
greatest joy as she leaves the career
that has kept her so prominently in the
public eye for years is the consciousness
that it is love for Sembrich, the woman,
even more than admiration for Sem
brich, the artist, that makes the public
so sorry to lose her. 'I shall always
cherish that thought" she has said to
more than one friend.
For nearly a quarter OF a century
Nine. Sembrich has charmed America
with her voice, her art and her person.
6lity, and today, despite her decision to
retire, not one Of her gifts is on the
wane. There have been other great
singers, worthy rivals Of hers In many
particulars, but none who have dis
closed such complete mastery of the art
Of singing. Those who have had the
privilege within the past fortnight" says
the New York World, commenting upon
the prima donna's farewell operate ap-
pearance, "of seeing her piquant and
youthful Suzanne her pathetic Mimi
and her arch and moving 'Violetta,'
with the lusciousness OF her voice uninl-
paired, must wonder why she has elect
ed to retire now" Here is the singers
own explanation Of her resolve:
MY friend" said she to an interview
er, II am looking into the future. Shall
1t not be better that I retire now, with
my powers unimpaired-as you are all
good enough to tell me-than that l
Should linger on to have you apologize
for me to younger oJera-goeTs? I could
not bear your pity, your condescension,
your Ahl but you should have heard
her years ago. No; would leave while
the public wants me TO stay, so that the
admiration Of my voice and art may
live and pass perhaps, TO another gen.

feetioH, as an artist crave apprecia-
ton, Are you answered.

its facilities. At the end of "Strife's'
first act, a placaTd in electric letters
says the curtain will go up in three
minutes, and it does, although there
is shift of scenery; and the ensuing
promise of two minutes only is kept.
The third interval Is timed at a quar-
ter of an hour, to let the people lounge
a little in the tea, smoking and bar
rooms. which are thrOnged, now that
the smart set has taken TO sociable
intermissiOns. There is no orchestra
to compete with the TOBACCO and bev-
erages. Cakes, ices and dainty ssGnd-
witches are on sale, too, and the spec
tacle of half a thousand men and
women, in evening clothes, taking re-
freshments in theatre, with an air
of lazy Incidence, yet with the CELEBRITY
of quick luhching in the wall street
district, is new in our luxurious life.
A Problem to Solve.
The audience reassembIes to see if
GalswOrthy solves the problem that he
has propoUnded. He has convinced
us that two opposed irreconcilables
may prolong a strike while stockhOld-
ers lose their dividends and workmen
their wages. He has made a plea for
mediatOry unionism, too, and 1 think
the people not aware of the plays
conclusion expect it will be an accept
ance of the union mediator's counsel;
but when the company's directors and
the strikers committee get together
again, all but the two are ready for
COLlp OAliSt. L ne DftSluSUt VIII rather
go to penury than yield to the dicta-
ton of labor. That's the chip on his
shoulder. The leader knocks the chip
off with the ycw that he'll starve rath-
er than live with the heel of capital
on his neck. The fight looks like GO
ing on with new rancor. But the di-
rectors and the strikers have had all
| they'll bear of cOercive mastery by
mOnOmaniacs, and they vote unani-
mously to accept the terms advised by
the uniOniSt delegate.
My first defeat and at the hands
of my directors" the president groans
as he let's his daughter lead him away
to bed in a collapsed condition.
THE towards who ought to stand
by me to the death have turned me
down." the leader grOwls, shaking his
fist after his fellows.
Whats the good of the striker
some one asks of the union delegate.
There's where the fun comes in"
the delegate replies-rather Irrelevant
ly, don't you think? Or Is his mean
ing clear to you?

dance and talk q broken Dutch that
has brought down the house elsewhere.
For their turn this season they have
arranged an entirely new act, with a
number Of clever songs written by
themselves.
Paul Kleist comes with q spectacular
novelty which he calls THE Land OF
Dreams" in which he gives an exhi-
bitiOn of BLACK art that is equally
surprising and mystifying. Mr.. Kleist
is a high-gTade sOlOist on musical in
struments and uses unusual electrical
effects, making his act one Of splendid
entertainment
Miss Florence SWinnertOn, assisted by
John ThOrne, will give a musical TO
nance in one act, entitled 'In the Stars
Dressing Room" Miss SwinnertOn
plays the role of the prima donna who
has preferred a stage career to marriage
With the man she loves. The denoue-
ment Of the play comes when she sings
a southern love song her sweetheart
loved, for Joe Virgins, a miner who has
asked for an interview. Then she knows
that she chose wrongly and of course
Joe turns out to be the lover in dis
guise. The play is pTettily cOstumed
and staged. It was written by Fred
ertCk Allen.
New kinOdrome pictures and special
orchestral music round out the bill.

New York, Nov. 27.-The blase New
Yorker at a theatre hardly ever reads
the program; for that would imply
that the bill knows more beforehand
than he does about the play; and es-
pecially If it be musical farce, ne
doesn't like to have anyone think he
can't recognize the players at sight
as, one after another, they come on
the stage. 1t was as funny as anything
to me in odd Dutch" TO see those
alI-knOwing fellows fooled on the open
ing night. A splenetic Frenchman,
Italian or Spaniard, violent in speech
and gesture, is in many of these shows
made in America. SO is an English
dandy OF the drawing, crawling Lon
don type. George Beban and Ernest
Lambert have been familiar caricatur-
lists of those two foreigners long
while
So when an eXcitabfe TyroI hotel
keeper STROBE, and a nOnchalant Eng
Hsh tourist StrOlled, into the new Ho-
observation-disclosures show, with aspects
and mannerlsms unchanged, who doubt
ed that they were Bebdn and Lambert
again? l didn't until one sang and the
other danced surprisingly well. Then
l found their names in the printed cast
10 be Charles Judels and Vernon Cas-
tie, quite new and strange in the Ten
derloin. I went to the lobby at the
end of the act 1 went TO the lobby
TO laugh at the chaps who remarked
that Beban had found a singing voice,
Ell Wot? And Lambert mad got a new
pair OF dc ncing legs, don't you think?
There was more than ever before in
one play of Lew Fields German, too.
''Old Dutch" comes near to being a
comedy with a star part for him. He
runs in with child on his back, sew
eral al his heels, and plays with them
as Joe Emmett ana Billy ScanlOn used
10, and as Andy Mack and Chauncey
OlcOtt do now. Fields has become a
plain, obvious and decidedly facile
comedian. This time his German is an
old Viennese inventor, who has made
himself famous and a millionaire, and
seeks a respite from celebrity by go
ing to the Tyrol for a vacation under
an assumed name. His TuSe results in
his losing his wallet, containing all his
funds; in his being mistaken for q
hotel beat and in his suffering an in
genious and abundant variety OF in
dignities until able 10 prove his iden-
tity.
Wine, Woman and Song.
To the usual extent Of its kind. "Old
Dutch" is a show Of wine, woman and
song. One of the songs is a ballad of
much muSh love for a pair of sweet
hearts leaning against each other as
they wander warbling in the moon
light. After they have given some en-
cores very tenderiy, they are guyed
by Z couple of ugly dwarfs. who enter
at the opposite side of the scene and
have their own spot of light in which

sick symptoms. That counts one for
new fun In song. The displays of WON

oRPHEUM THEATRE.

One of the theatrical treats Of the
season is promised this week at the
Orpheum. beginning tonight, when
practically an all-star program Will
be presented, Miss Balerie Bergere viii
head the bill with a one-act playlet,
"BiIlie's First Love" in which she viii
be supported by a competent company.
Miss Bergere has the reputation OF be
ing the most accomplished dramatic
actress in vaudeville today, and some
of her admirers have called her the
''AIaude Adams Of the Varieties" She
will be supported by Herbert warren
and Emma Campbell.
The Tuscany Troubadours, six in
number, will give a programme OF
classical music. They sing scenes from
"Rigoletto," Carmen" ''Tannhauser
and Faust" The first scene repre-
sents a corner in Little Italy, New York
City, where an Italian street singer and
his wife are disgruntled and discour-
aged over a lack Of business. A little
newsgirl has the same complaint to
make, but they soon forget their unhap-
piness in meeting with a fellow COun-
tryman who is trying to carve his for
tune in America by selling fruit. A
stranded comic opera manager and his
star happen along, having walked into
New York from Podunk. They hear
the quartet sing and quickly seize the
opportunity to reOrganize their COM
pany and hold a rehearsal on the spot.
The Six Glinseretis are novelty gym
nasts who were brought from Vienna
for tour Of the OTpheum circuit. Sew
eTal years ago they toured the princi-
pal cities of the United States and were
a great sensation at that time. They
are regarded as the best novelty GYM
nasts in Europe. James f. Macdonald
billed in Songs and Sayings" is a clev-
er entertainer. He has a style of
chatter quite his own and his matter
Is new and amusing. His songs are
good.
Bob Carlin and George Clark are
German dialect comedians. They sing.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

Tonight I'm Wyoming" under the di-
rection Of H. z. Pierce & Co, will
make its first bid for a popular favorite
in Salt Lake. It has been said that "In
Wyoming" comes as near being the
ideal play Of American ranch life as
any the stage has as yet disclosed TO
view. The scenes are laid near Casper,
WyO., about fifteen years ago. The hero,
Bob Ricketts,, is the embodiment OF
what most people love TO see for he has
both the good and bad qualities that en-
ter into the charm of frontier life. He
has not lived a life Of spotless purity,
he helps 70 lynch some cattle thieves,
but he is strong, brave, generous, sound
at heart, full of resource and q man to
trust with anything. Into the rude,
elemental life Of this man, who never
bullied nor lied, enters a pretty little
Vermont school teacher, and full of the
race tradition Of her Puritan inner
itance. 1t was the most natural thing
in the world for Bob to fall IN love
