BUNGALOW THEATRE.

st Elmo was presented by Maude
LeOnt and company before a well filled
house at the Bungalow theatre last even
ing. To all indications the production was
entirely 10 the liking of the audience and
the efforts OF the players were well re-
Warded.
The story of st Elmo" is one of a
man who, because Of Il young girl, turns
his life from one of good and true things
to one of revenge and hate. In the end,
however. he TepentS and goes back to the
life of righteousness and truth. 1t is a
story that so seldom happens in real life
that the real beauty of the play is lost
The leading role, that of St. Elmo Muir
ray is taken by Airing Alcine and han
died in an excellent manner His work is
clever and will be the means of making
Mr.. AlCine more popular with the audi
ences of the little playhouse. Miss Maude
Leone, as Edna Earl. the girl who brings
ST. Elmo back to the life of his former
self, is good and plays the role in a capa-
bic manner. although il is one of those
parts that are not best suited to her. The
real life of the show was the role of Van
Jiggins, an inventor, who is in love with
all women. The part is full of excellent
comedy, and Elmer Booth handles it i'm
an excellent manner, doing justice to all
its lines. Others who gave creditable aC-
counts of themselves we're James Rennie,
as Gordon Leigh; Frederick Moore. as

SALT LAKE THEATRE.

Opening tonight the LambaTdi Grand
Opera company will present seven operas
during the week at the Salt Lake theatre,
each opera with d separate cast, and no
two operas. excepting La GiocOnda.
will be heard twice. Society and music
leaders have taken the opera season up
in the right manner and financial as
well as artistic success is looked for.
Many oUt-Of-JOwn people will be in the
latter part of the week, taking advantage
of the special excursion rates of one fare
for the round trip. This famous Organi-
cation was here a year ago and scored
great hit with local music lovers by its
wonderful Interpretation of the operas
presented. This season ImpTesaTiO Mario
L3mbaTdi promises an even greater sea
son, and with new scenery and costumes.
In the opening opera night Nine. Elvira
BOsetti. AttiiO Maurini, Nine. Dolores
Frau and Giuseppe Maggi, will be heard.
This cast is sad to be perfect for the
presentation of this opera. Madam But
terfly' will be offered tomorrow night
with an entirely different cast Under
the direction of Maestro Cav. Fulgenzio
GuerTieri, the magnificent symphony or
chestIa of fifty and the chorus of sixty
will support the large cast of principals.

GRAND THEATRE.

The offering at the Grand theatre last
night, opening week enga cement, was
the stirring melOdrama, All for Her
Sake a production replete with grim
tragedy and Yet with just enough humOr
to relieve the tension before it became
too great
The scenes of the play are laid in Eu-
TOpean Russia and i'm the frozen wastes
of Siberia. The story deals with the love
Of two young Russians that is triumphant
after almost untold suffering and gives
an insight into the political intrigue of a
country that banishes its prisoners to
Siberian mines.
Considering that the play was presented
a popular prices. q most creditable pro-
duction was given. While not SC elabOr-
ate in scenic inVestituTe as the higher
priced productions still the scenes of the
play were reproduced with fidelity that
was cOmmendabl
The play is Of the melOdramatic variety
that appeals strongly to the gallery
god who. by the way, is not considered
such bad judge of that which possesses
heart interest.
The following members of the cast ac-
quilted themselves nicely in their re-
spective parts: r. T. Hazett, Helen Bar
ham, Agnes LOTUS. Tod Ward, Rob Ev-
ans, Don Mutually, Fred l.. Doty and Cora
Morris. Fred L. DOty made big hit as
the English dude. His characterization
of the part was extremely clever.

teTtaining novelty is offered by the

The bill for the week is a good one,
thanks chiefly to John Bull. The per-
Torrance is placed upon the plane or
above the ordinary shows, chiefly
through the work of Miss Lloyd and
the McNaughtOn brothers. No one VIII

thing is of superior merit.

and then some. Her repertOry of songs
are all new and catchy. The house
last night went crazy over the viva

COLONIAL THEATRE.

There is one little example along to-
wards the close of the second act in THE
Top o the World which explains the
complete success of the company OPEN
ing a return engagement before a ca
pacity house at the Colonial theatre last
night When Fred Bailey and Ralph
Austin responded TO the repeated encores
for their Yankee Doodle Yarns" three
perfect cOunterparts of Baileys "Jack-in-
the-BOX appeared. The makeup and de-
tails of their costumes were as elaborate
as in the original character and their
appearance meant only a feature lasting
less than ten seconds.
While the show hinges upon the fun
nyisms of Bailey and Austin, the whole
piece has been prepared with such care
full regard tOr every other feature, i'm
pOrtant or trivial, that nothing is over
balanced, OVerplayed or sighted There
is the usual ligntness of plot, but the OPP
pOrUunity for characterization is such
that absolutely original figures are
brought into picture of a dreamed-Of
North Pole taiTyland. No attempt has
been made 90 Over-star the leading char
aCters at the expense of others. and much
of the secret Of success seems to lie in
the fact that the company includes sew
CTal who m ght well be starring on their
own account.
Charles Harris. as Aurora Borealis is
a creator of laughs himself, and ranks
with the leaders in his popularity be-
fore the curtain. While there is the usual
nonsense, there are many clever lines
throughout the piece, and most of the
jokes are new. The thorough response
made by the audience showed that while
it has been but few weeks since the
former appearance of the company, the
right guess had been made in the re-
turn.
1t is hard to decide whether fun or
/ beauty has most to do in making the
production what it is. Adele Oswald pre-
sents one perfect type of face and fig
uTe, but there are enough pretty faces
in the chorus TO prevent Miss Oswald
| from having anything like a monopoly.
Something that is often lacking in pref
ty chOTuses is also to be fOund-the ma
jOrity have good voices.
The Top O. the World idea is one of
the best ever conceived in comic opera.
The opening scene is Kris kTingles work
shop. Members of the chorus are vari-
Gus kinds of mechanical toys and il is in
this scene that the Candy Kid and Jack
in-the-BoX are born into the play. Other
characters ar: Jack Frost, Francis Car
rier, who is a splendid sOlOist; kankalIee,
an Eskimo chief; Mazda, a little girl VINO
wants TO grow up; Aurora Borealis,
queen of the northern lights, and a va
riety of princes, polar bears, Eskimos and
toy people.
Later. the palace of Aurora Borealis
gives opportunity for eXtravagant effects
in scenery, and the final scene. The Land

The speCialties which prove the most
popular are Tommy Atkins and
