ADJUSTMENTS

Observation-Disclosures Anglin Is always
sure Of strong reception in SAT- Lake,
and last night her old friends and adj
mirers were out IN force to greet her.
The impression she left years ago,
when az co-star with Henry Miller she
was first rising 10 fame, and later her
splendid impersonations in Mrs.
Danes Defense" and "Zira," have
never been forgotten. Salt Lakers
have watched her rapid upward climb
on the histrlono ladder with constant
interest, and nowhere was the news OF
her distinguished success in Australia
followed with more ploasureable inter
est than here. Miss Anglin now comes
back to us as a star on her own ac-
count, and last night in the play the
Awakening OF Helena Richie" she re-
newed The strong hold she always ex-
crCised on her hearers. The play

Immensely interesting, has some strong
situatiups, and H. staged with a pic
