BE HERE NEXT WEEK

On Monday, March %, at the Salt Lake
theatre, Charles B. Hanford will open a
three-night engagement with a special
Wednesday matinee, and for the first
time in this city will appear in modern
comedy. 1.-THE American Lord" by George
H. Broadhurst and Charles T. Darcy, two
representative American playwriters, will
be Mr.. Hanford's play, Monday and We'd
nesday matinee and night. THE Ameri-
can Lord" is divided into four acts, the
opening scene being laid In Breuster's
hotel in ElkhOrn. North Dakota. Bluff
John Breuster is typical of the great west
He is honest, straightforward and can
did, and detests shams and snobbishness
When the play opens the.e is convention
in town to nominate candidate for con-
gress. A nomination in ElkhOrn is eQuiva-
lent to an election, and Breuster's friends
mean to stampede the convention for him
In the meantime an English lawyer ar
rives and notifies BNeuster that he is the
lineal descendant of Lord Breuster. The
affair is a Joke to Breuster, but the law
yer soon convinces him that he Is the
real heir to the title and estates. On be-
ing told that he will not be hampered in
the management of the estates, he prom
ises to go to England, and it may be
imagined, in his breezy way, he manages
to stir up things. The settling Of the vari-
Gus love affairs furnishes many amusing
complications, while Mr.. Hanford as John
Breuster succeeds In furnishing his many
admirers an opportunity of witnessing his
success in q modern up-to-date comedy.
Miss Marie Drofnah has IN the role of Mrs.
Westbrooke, the widow In the play, OPP
portunities which cannot fail to crafty

pear In what has been considered his
greatest success, THE Tanning OF the

ISIS THEATRE.

The feature at the Isis theatre this
week, "In the Frozen North" by the
Selig Polyscope company, is an extreme
novelty, introducing, as it does, genuine
Eskimos and Eskimo dogs, the enormous
ice fields, and, in fact, everything the
title suggests. Another production of
merit from the Essanay company's stu
dos, ''The Inventors Model is an in
tensely dramatic subject, picturing the
misfortunes Of a poor inventor, whose
model is stolen from him by thieving
promoter. Included also in this program
is an extreme oddity in a comedy, Meth
cd in His Madness" The Edison Manu-
featuring company has again turned out
something original in their latest nov
city, "A Mountain Blizzard" Three ten
derfeet, prospecting in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, after a series of amusing ad-
ventures, are benighted in the thick of
a terrible blizzard. In despair they lie
by a storm, Upon awakening
in the morning and discovering the hotel
so near at hand, the resumption 81 their
fayorite vices is as laughable as the re-
nunciation was pathetic. An educational
film, with belongs in the feature class,
will surely prove a decided favorite with
Isis patrons. This subject, Fruit Grow
ing. Grand Valley, Colorado shows the
wonderful results accomplished by irri-
cation. The whole growth of the ORCH
ard is shown, even the arid lands, before
the irrigation progress has begun. Two
illustrated popular ballads will be In
cluded in this BILL sung by Lou Halsett.
Harry Wolff's orchestra is always con-
sidered one of the leading features OF
the entertainment, and during this week
have an excellent program, In which Is
included poet and Peasant Overture
(Suppe), Mute de Portici Overture" and
selections from the leading comic operas.

"No Real Work Is Ever Done

dreading to go up to my room alone.
Discrimination to Be Alone.
ooh, I feel that is one Of the most
pernicious results of this city boarding
house life-the seeking OF easy compan-
iOnship, the growing dissemination to
be alone. 1 seem TO have lost all sense
of resources within myself-and that is
fatal! No real work is ever done I'M
less one does 1t alone. Trivial, futile
companionship of this sort is not con-
ducive to thought or achievement of
any kind. In the last few months, ex-
cept for my daily routine work, 1 have
done nothing, thought nothing, read
nothing that has been worth while.
have wasted my evenings in this idle,
Improbable way.
And New York is so full OF oppor-
tunities for study, for Improvement
lectures, libraries-such resources are
infinite. And yet think Of the people
that waste their time, dissipate their
energies, their ambitions In the unpro-
ductive cOmpanionship Of the average
boarding house.
And all because they do not want
to be alone! And the less they are
alone, the less they want to be! The
desire to escape from themselves seems
to grow upon them. Restlessly they
seek companionship Of any kind rather
than cultivate resources within them
selves"

SHUBERT THEATRE.

The program at the Shubert theatre this
week IS up to the high standard, and the
vaudeville offerings promise to be espe-
cially interesting. The latest subject
from the Pathe Freres studios is the
headliners and without doubt is the only
picture of It's kind in the world. The
title, "A Bull Fight in Mexico" is some
what misleading, as a person would take
1t from this alone that this production
was on the same line as others of the
same name turned out previously. This
film was taken at Ell Toreo, the famous
bull ring of Mexico City, and shows the
fight for life between William Pickett an
Oklahoma half-breed cowboy, commonly
known as "the man without fear" and
'*Bonito," the fiercest and most dreaded
bull in all the Mexican republic. The un-
precedented encounter took place a few
weeks ago. before 5000 persons, the lar
gest crowd ever assembled in the great
amphitheatre. Six other excellent sub
jects are shown. Included in this num-
Der are two particularly interesting dra-
matte productions. one by the Vitagra ph
company. entitled THE Mystery Of Tenn
pie Court" The other subject referred to
is Pathe drama Of absorbing interest,
the scenes of which are laid in Morocco.
In addition to the foregoing. and the
usual illustrated ballads and excellent In

makes him stay his hand.
He likes his baleful eyes upon the pref
test and most attractive young woman
in the radius of his vision, and then he
proceeds to do her the deadllest wrong
that malignity can invent. He showers
attentions upon her, each one OF which
is blight. He goes to see her ana takes
her about until gossip gets busy with her
name. He keeps away from her the un-

Sometimes the married man, who is

a young girls heart in order that the
sport may have a keener zest. The
NEUROLOGICAL Ogres4 of old were not SO
cruel, for death itself is a kinder fate
than to be doomed to live loVeless.
1t is incredible that any human being
could have SO little compassion upon
another, and yet there is not one of US
who does not know of some young girl
who poured out the riches of her fresh
affection upon some married man, and
who, when he passed on, left her with
nothing but the dregs and lees OF love

Such a man is dead to every impulse
of chivalry and manhood. He is a
brute that disgraces the shape that he
wears. Yet these men have, many OF

TN q recent article upon the Atlantic
/ City tragedy tried to make poor Jane
Adams fate point moral to other
girls who are tempted to engage in flirta-
tons with married men.
This article has brought me many let
ters. Among them Is one from q young
woman. who says:
You are too hard on the girls who flirt
with married men, The men are more to
blame than the girls. We don't drag
them away from their wives and firesidss.
They not only come OF their own accord,
but they pursue US with their tales of
matrimonial infelicity and uncongeniality.
A man who is old enough 20 be married
is free agent. and what he does, he does
because he wants to do it, and so, II you
are going to blame anybody. blame the
men,"
1t doesn't wash womans bedraggled
skirts white for her to claim that q man
pushed her into the mire. She should
have enough backbone to stand firmly
on the clean path, and decline his invita-
ton to wade through the mud with him.
says Is true, and In any filtration be-
tween married man and girl, the man
is the more blameworthy because he is
Older, he knows more of life than she
does, and Is more fully aware Of the risks
she runs and the disastrous consequences
that are almost certain to ensue for her.
The young girl who engages in a flirta-
ton with a married man is often only
silly, but he is always criminal.
Like RobbIns a Blind 6esgar.
|. No married man. who is not at heart a
coward and cad, ever makes any senti-
mental advances toward a young girl.
If he has any remnants OF honor and de-
cency left, and still wants to make love
to some other woman than his wife, he
picks out g. woman who is in his own
class, at least-a woman who is fully
grown, who knows the world and is capa-
Die OF judging of what she is doing.
To inveigle little, ignorant unsophis-
ticated girl child into a degrading love
affair-and that is what all flirtations
are-is on par with robbing a blind
beggar, or taking candy money from a
baby, thing that even self-respecting
burglar would scorn to do.
From every point of view the married
male flirt plays a low and contemplate
game, in which the dice are loaded and
the cards are marked, and the girl hash
a chance to do anything but lose An
unmarried man who compromises a girl
may be made to marry her, If she has
husky and determined father or brother.
The married man can not be forced to
make that reparation. A bachelor who
trifles with a girls affections can be sued
Tor preach OF promise and have to pay out
his good money for his false vows The
married mans bank account is safe
This knowledge of his immunity from
the consequences Of his act is what
makes the married masher so aggressive.
and 1t is what brands him as a black
guard of the deepest dye.
For, knowing the safety of hts position,
he is merciless. He can bring nothing

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

The sorest temptation that ever comes
to a woman is that of a love which she
dare not accept Some are strong enough
to resist forbidden love; others are not,
and the strong ones must not judge their
weak sisters too harshly.
Nobody is always strong; we may win
nine times and fall the tenth, but give
US credit for all the victories, and forget
the defeat.
1 read, the other day, of a mother
her hands without praying that the little
feet would tread in safe and happy paths,
free from danger of all sorts
We are none OF us free from danger,
but we can try our best to be as good as
possible and to lead clean, pure lives the
kind of lives that our mothers craved we
should.
Remember. my girls, how all important
it is that you should grow into good
women.
Beauty and wit and cIeverness are won
derful things, in their way, and most de-
sirable; but the one great. best quality
in a woman is her goodness.
IL is Womans goodness and purity
that has brought the world to where It
stands today; any man will tell you that
Men do not understand the hundred and
one small temptations that beset
woman.
The longing for pretty things, the de-
sire TO make herself look pretty in mems
eyes, the longing to dress her children
prettily, to make her house pretty-these
and wool of human nature.
II Is often said that the most severe
judge OF other women is the one who has
never known temptation.
There is no woman who has not known
temptation OF some Sort and as she ex-
poets ieniency, so should she show It.
Try and conquer your own temptations
ana be geenrous to those of others.

Kelley AND SHANNON ARE
COMING IN "THE THIEF"

Modern life is so strenuous that the play
goer is beginning to find his creates
pleasure in witnessing productions which,
like the short story for the reader, give
him the most mental recreation In the
most compact measure, or else provide the
most powerful mental stimulus with the
swiftest and most economic employment
of his attention. Fashions in pays are
constantly changing, and the play with the
small cast is the play that finds the
greatest degree of popularity notable
example of the small-cast play is THE
Thief" which Charles Frohman will pre-
sent with special company, headed by
Herbert Kelley and Effie Shannon at the
Salt Lake theatre April 7, s and 9.
1.-THE Thief has only seven characters,
and what Henry Bernstein, its author, has
accomplished with those seven characters
has made other writers for the stage un-
usually keen on producing small-cast
plays. But the characters in The Thief
are few because others would be super
