The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-10-02
REVIEW

derstOOd that much of the delightful
entertainment afforded by the pro-
ductiOn was due 10 Mr.. Hinrich's eff
forts TO present good music. The
Prince OF Pilsen" played ogden ana
Reno after leaving salt Lake and
opens Monday night for a week in
San Francisco.
THE Wolf at the Garrick. with
William IngersOl, Frances Nelson
and four other players in the cast, had
a successful weeks business which
started out Sunday night with a sold
ut house and many turned away. II
is likely that Mr.. IngersOlPs former
record of producing the most popular
line of stock plays ever known in the
city will be quite equaled with his
present company at the Garrick. AS
an actor. his versatility and ability TO
merge his own personality in that of
the person he is portraying are strong
features Of his work. He turned from
THE Middleman" to the debonaire
young French Canadian of The
Wolf" doing each impersonation with
the skill Of the true artist. Miss Mel
son, though charming, did not appear
at her best in the role of Hilda Nc
lavish. In emotional moments and
dramatic situations she is a strong
actress but it seemed that the less
exacting character of the part she took
in The Wolf" did not keep her up
to her highest standard. Walter r.
Seymour gave a careful and faithful
presentation of the unpleasant part of
William Mcdonald and Joseph Byron
Totten provided the humor of the
play.
n Stickler for Detail.
stickler for detail. An example of the
care taken in these presentations is
the little matter of lighting the fire
in the last act. When the match was
struck and applied 10 the sticks there
did not follow a full blaze at once, but
by manipulation of the lights, il
grew gradually brighter. When il was
eXtinguished by a dipper of water
there was a noticeable and very nat
ural kissing sound. Other details nice
ly carried out were those of the
falling leaves and OdOr Of the pine
woods.
At the Monday night performance,
Mrs. Ingerson entertained at a box
party for the following guests: Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis A Evans, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jay Rogers, Miss Jessie Pringle,
Miss Margaret Oils. Mrs. Dills. Miss
Helen Collier. Warren B. Emerson
and j. David Herblin. Mr.. Emerson
has recently arrived in the city from
New York to be Mr.. Ingersolls man
ager in the company.
During the week Mrs Oils and Miss
Margaret Oils removed from White
hall 10 the Convey apartments, where
they will be at home for the winter.
and Miss Jessie Pringle took up her
residence at the Annex apartments.
For general excellence the Orpheum
bill OF the past week was the most
pleasing of the season. Thomas j.
Ryan showed up the amusing true-tO-
life type of the little Irishman, Mike
Haggerty, in the latest Cressy sketch.
Mag Haggerty's Reception" The old
fellow, whose story began when he
was a bod carrier, ends in this sketch
by having money. but with all his old
difectness. his honest convictions and
his amusing prejudices remaining in
tact. Jimmy Lucas. who formerly
played the Orpheum circuit alone ap-
pears this year with a bunch of pretty
girls that aids his act wonderfully. He
is a lively entertainer who has had
considerable success as a composer.
Some of his song hits are Meet Me
in ST. Louis. Louie Gee, It's Great
at the Baseball Game" and Il Love.
I Love My Wife, but, ON, You Kid"
for which he wrote the lyrics
