a msritOrious dramatic production Of sur
passing strength. adapted from an old
folk song, played by the leading actors
and actresses specially selected from the
Pathe Film dart stock company, the
scenes being photographed in Moscow.
Another subject which belongs III the fea-
tuTe class IS a Vitagraph story Of in
tense heart interest entitled, "A Lesson
by the Sea, a drama Of contemporary
society life. some seashore scenes
Of marvellous beauty. Two of the inter
esting Pathe subjects included in this pro-

ture OF fine acTobats who do more and
better stunts than any usually seen
on the vaudeville stage or in the circus,
is entitled THE HaTrys Brothers, Their
marvellous deXterity, suppleness and en-
ergy places them in the foremost ranks
of acrobats for the whole world. Their
exhibition must be seen to be appreCi-
ated, as no description can adequately
convey the wonderful skill with which
they do their amazing feats. Two beau
fully illustrated songs viii be sung by

"THE ROUND UP" COMES
TO SALT LAKE THEATRE

The attraction at the Salt Lake theatre
a week from Monday will be Klaw 4 Err
hangers production Of Edmund Days in
teTeSting drama Of Arizona life, The
Roundup The story relates TO life III
southwestern Arizona, and is a true pic
tuTe OF tn cattle ranges before the wire
fence. The third act presents one of the
greatest scnsa tons ever seen on the stage
"a battle between two white men and
band of maraUding Apache Indians in the
bad lands, on the Mexican border
TweEty-six genuine Apache Indians ap-
pear in this act with their war ponies
Twenty trained horses are used in the
production Of the piece. and TO prevent
the realism Cf the scenes in which the
horses are used from being destroyed by
the sound Of hOOfs on the flooring Of the
stage, kiaW & Erlanger mad the largest
cocoa mating ever made woven for this
attraction. This mating is made in even
strips, eight feet wide. sixty feet liz
length and four inches thick. These
strips are woven into one piece by laCing
them together with a cod line. Laced
together, the mat covers space of seV-
enty by fifty-siX feet and weighs over
four tons. Horses race over this mat at
full speed, and in the last act. in the
roundup scene, several buCkng ponies
are ridden in an exhibition Of hOTseman-
ship without the sound of a hOOf, except
as it would be heard on the turf. Any
one who has not seen this play cannot
imagine how much this great mat adds
to the completeness Of realistic effects.
The platforms and runs used in the
desert scene in the third act. where six
teen mounted Indians ride along a ledge
of rock thirty feet above the stage level,
are the largest and strongest ever made
for a stage effect, and require five 60-feet
long baggage cars to transport them. The
stage mat because Of its bulk, requires
two more cars Of like dimensions, so that
seven cars are necessary to transfer the
paraphernalia for one scene of this play
alone.

"BREWSTER'S MILLIONS" IS
COMING TO THE COLONIAL

"Brewsters Millions" the greatest
comedy hit of the past year in both
New York and Chicago. will be pre-
scented at the Colonial for one week.
starting March 6, by the Cohan and
Harris comedians. 1t is a dramatiZa
ton of George Barr NcCutCheon's story
of the same title.
1t is the purely farcical scenes that
give "Brewster's Millions" its claim to
popularity. Those who have read the
story know the plot Monty Brew
steT is left a million dollars by his
grandfather. With the first realization
of his good fortune Brewster learns
that a forgotten uncle has died and left
him $T000000 on condition that he spend
the million left by his grandfather in a
year. He can't give il aWay-just has
to spend it-and with the further con-
ditiOn that no one must know OF this
second viii until the year is up. or
course, Brewster has his troubles. To
get rid of about $1,000 in every twenty
four hours taxes the deXterity of even
q farce writer who doesn't wish to
stage too improbable a story. And III
the efforts of the man with too much
money. 10 land penniless in 365 days,
lies the many golden opportunities for
fun. He does succeed, of course. in
spite of such ''TeVerscs' as winning
0,000 on a sure loser at the race
track. and amassing $75.00G at Monte
Carlo. His aCqURintanCes all think him
insane. and much amusement is caused
by the cross purposes Of Brewster, anx-
ious to spend, and his friends who are
equally anxious to see him keep some
Of his money.

In the ContoUtion act of Brothers Whit
man another headlner is promised. one
of the brothers appears a frog and the
other as an alligator. The act has been
described by San Francisco critics as
being the greatest act of its kind that
has ever been presented in that city. The
team carries its own scenery and light
effects, making the act an especially IN
teresting one to those who like this kind
of performance.
The girl with two distinct voices is
the way that Miss Gertrude Van Dyke IS
billed. Seattle critics unite in saying OF
her. AS clever a singing Coincidence as
has ever come into the northwest In
addition to singing in two distinct and
different voices, the young woman makes
a number Of character changes during the
act.

cities have said about the act Of Trainer

will have no reason to regret seeing the
act which is entitled War Time Mem

SCHUMANN-HElNK
COMING TO SALT LAKE

Be the public or the artists them
selves to blame, good individual re
citals in this city are rare. 1t is
long time since music wOrshipers of
this neighbour God have mad such
treat laid out for them as the approach
ing recital of the peerless SChumann-
Heinh at the Salt Lake theatre on
March Il. The typical recital is an
insipid affair, where the performer at
tempts a varied and ambitious series
far beyond her dramatic, emotional and
vocal power Of expression and inter
probation. In other words, enormous
versatility is required to throw ones
self into the intricately changing spirit
of a recital program. The C0ncensus OF
criticism puts the diva at the absolute
head of her art Since leaving opera
for the concert field, she mas shown
herself capab BILE of handling programs
of indefinite variety with impeCcable
finish. The early drains on the box
office assure the prima donna her usual
gathering Of the wit and beauty of our
town. The sale Of seats Is now on at
the theatre.
