"The Girl From Rector,s.n

ne 1lFl from heCtorS-"
 Following its run of an entire season at Webers Music Hall, New York "Ths Girl From Rector's' will be seen in this city, at the Jefferson theatre, for linn tied engagement of one performance on Wednesday night. Paul M. Potter Is the author of the work, and despite the fact his past has been identified with plays of serious nature, he hit upon a vein of humor in The Girl,' which astonished even his most ardent admirers. It Is a long step from a play of the nature of 'frilhy,' of which he was the author. to an offering like that of his latest crea- tion. The New York critics declare that he has made name for himself in the world of comedy which will survive his former reputation. There isn't dull Inc throughout 'The Girl From Rector's" and not a situation that cannot be under stood and appreciated by any one! The success of the piece may be judged from the fact that its earning capacity at Wsbers was many times greater than that of the same house when tho Weber & Tields' offerings there wore the sole topic of New Forks theatregoing public
 The work is that of Paul M. Potter, who acquired worldwide fame through the authorship of ''Trilby." This newest work of the gifted writer is distinctly of New York flavor. The story. nthe main, is woven about young society woman of Battle Creek, Mich, who spends 8 great deal of her time in the metropolis in ths quest of pleasure and recreation. When she is at home her spare moments arc taken up in charitable work, and as tho soene shifts from the west to the east. % do the young womau's Ideas. She finally earns the sobriauet of Tho Qir1 From Rector's," and the audience is kept in . continual uproar while the en- tanglements follow. In it's seven months at Weber's Music Hall every previous record was broken there.
 ~Little Memo" at tho Jefferson Next
 Week.
 On Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee, Janu- ary "A. E and g. Klaw q Erlanger's su- perb production, 'Ilttls Nsmo," will play an engagement of four performances at the Jefferson theatre.
 The play 10 based on Winsor McCay's cartoons The dominant note in 'TAttle Memo" is the pure. unadulteratsd fun. and the magnificent stage settinga, which are said to have cost in the neighbor- hood of t100,o0 are but the frame of the picture. There are over 100 chorus and ballet girls in the piece, and asids from their comelness and shapeliness, . fact worth recording is that In the course of the Il gorgeous sosnes they don approx imately 1000 costumes, still more in- teresting fact is that Little Nsmo" boasts an a1i-star cast of comedians In Joseph Cawthern. Harry Clay Blaney. Harry Kelly, and Master Gabriel, all of whom have starred up to last season at the heads of their own companies with unuuestionsd success. Only the most lib- eral o1fers tempted them to abandon profitable starring tours.

serving her closely one realizes how fine is the by-play of hands, of pose, of the disposition of her draperies. Her best point physically is her figure. It Is 1.-the, graceful by intention rather than in limo, extremely plastic and accommodates itself to the mood of the moment like finely attuned instrument. Her nerve equip ment is so remarkable that it enables her to play upon the nerve pulse of tho audience as a pianist upon a keyboard, but 1t is tender, soft-sounding and more convincing than any note music can evoke.

Cecil spooner-BIJou.

The dainty comedienne Miss Cecil Spooner comes to the Bijou for an en- gagement of one week, starting with the performance tomorrow night This year Miss Spooner is to be seen In the comedy in which she scored such remarkable sue cess at the Lincoln Square theatre in New York city "The Little Terror" the play is called. and following is a review of both the play and the work of the lit tie star which appeared in the Ledger Dispatch when the play was seen at the Granby theatre in Norfolk, Va, a few weeks ago:
 If there was ever any doubt that Cecil Spooner is popular in Norfolk that doubt was dispelled last night, when Miss Spooner appeared in her new comedy, "The Little Terror" for the first time at the Granby theatre. She was greeted by an audience that filled every seat in the popular playhouse, and she had this audience right with her all the way through the four acts of the play. Ap- plause was frequent and the encorss nu- merous at each drop of the curtain. It was the popular verdict of those who at tended the performance that the clever little soubrette has the best vehicle for the display of her talent in The Little Terror that she has ever appeared In and that she did the best work of her career.
 Although the part of Florence, the Ldt- tie Terror, not altogether like other parts she has assumed, she was just as much at home and added to her friends hsre.

band and the anger of many other peo- pie concerned with the story. The two innocent workers are suspected of en- tirely different and less innocent relations than actually exist and each effort on their part to conceal the truth but piles up the misunderstanding and makes them appear in the wrong light. Of course the audience knows the true state of affairs all the time and their enjoy ment of the ridiculous situations that ensue is all the more keen because of this fact The various people of the story are woven into a web Of complications that look like they never will be straight ened out, but In the end the innocent lit- tie musical play is produced; it scores hit and the co-authors are vindicated.
 Lillian Russell is fairly in her element in such surroundings. So long identified with the best upon the light musical stage, she brings to this character a wealth of understanding that permits her to illuminate the role with those delft de- tails which are a part and parcel of her wonderful personality. Of course she Is the same radiant Russell to look upon and maintains stage presence that would indicate her knowledge of a secret that the world has been seeking through the centuries. She is also alive to the necessity of sartorial embellishments of the character and her dresses will be feature of distinct interest to the femin- inc portions of her audiences while here.
 The comedy has been daintily staged and Miss Russell is fortunate in the cast that surrounds her Her chief fun-maker is Digby Bell, who needs no introduc- tion to the south. She is also supported by Susanne Westford, the younger sister of the famous beauty, who made a hit in Birmingham last season with '50 Miles From Boston," Also pretty Milcent Evans, who was with "The Blue Mouse. and has a congenial role in the Russell company. Others in the cast are Julius MoVicker, Sydney Booth, Albert Andrus, George E. Mack, Ben Turbett, Leonora Oakford and Saidee Williams.

ON STAND TODAY

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Ballin-
Ger.Pinchot inquiry Will be resumed
tomorrow morning with Mr.. Pinchot
on the stand. Mr.. Pinchot had not
progressed far with his story Satur-
day when adjournment was taken.
When he stopped testifying the com
mittee was considering the question
Of allowing witnesses. including Mr..
Plnchot, to repeat their version oil
conversation with President TAFT
Mr. Vertrees. attorney for Secte-
tary Baringer, protested against al
lowing testimony OF this kind, saying
that 1t placed the president In the
embarrassing attitude OF either re-
naming silent or of appearing before
the committee as witness. The lat
tor, he declared. would be both un-
precedented and undesirable,
George w. Pepper, counsel for Mr
Plnchot. agreed with Mr, Vertrees
that the calling of the president
would be undesirable. but added that
he must press for a decision by the
committee as he considered the con-
version between Pinohot and Presl-
dent Taft a material foundation for
further testimony TO be offered In
support OF Mr.. Plnchot's charges
against the secretary OF the Interior
II is not seriously thought that
President TAFT will appear as a wit
ness. although the suggestion has
been thrown out as an interesting
sidellght Of an interesting case Call
ers at the white house who talked
with the president today declared
that what the president said TO Mr..
Pinchot was not relevant 70 any cub

BELIEVE JARBIDGE
BIG GOLD CAMP

salt LAKE, FSol -2s.-J. d. Strong.
a well known mining engineer who
makes HIS home in this city. has just
returned fDm n spplonged9 star 10
the JarbrIdge country. He has had
field experience IN this country and
Mexico, and says without any heslta-
tion that the strike on tne bourne
group is the most remarkable ne has
seen IN all his experience as mining
man. He says that the vein Is a
thIrty-five feet ACROSS and that IL
gives values OF $50 and UP. Some ot
the picked SAMPLES run up INTO the
thousands OF dollars. while the gencr-
al average OF The entire deposit is
very high. The extent OF this ore is
stIll a matter Of conjecture, but at
depth OF thlity.flye feet II Is so
strong that miting men agree that
It is a proposition that will provide 4
large tonnage FER number OF years
10 come.
Salt LsHrs Interested.
Mr.. Strong w,nt to Jarorlge In the
interest OF a 1umber Of Salt Lake
mining men and succeeded In getting
Into the district and making q mum
Der OF locations before q great many
prospectors arrived. He says that
there are probably as many as 1,50o
people In the camp at this time and
that they are 0ming in every day.
The snow Is aboIt six feet deep and
the prospectors can do little OF no
work at this time. Most OF the loca-
ticns have been made within a short
distance from tho original discoveries
and Mr.. Strong says that his proper
ties are evidently on the same vein
as the Bourne group. as he finds
very much the same formation.
Big Rush Predicted.
II is the general impression that as
soon as the winter weather is gone
the district win have the biggest
rush that has ever been known to a
new mining camp Tho showing TO
date fully justiiies the belief that
.here Will be some big producers In
the camp. but mcSt of the experts do
not hesitate TO say that as soon as
the first high grade deposits are taken
out near the surface the district will
settle down to hrge low grade prop
ositlon. and milling Will be In order
on some large estates that will make
IL one OF the largest gold bearing sec
tions in the west. Mining men and
prospectors form almost every section
of the globe are in the district at
this time Mexico. Alaska, South
Africa and every mining district In
this country have some representa-
tlyes 10 Jarbridgt. and more people
are coming In all The while.
The full extent Of the mineralided
territory has not been proven up as
yet. but enough isknown of the condl.
tions TO bring Out the assertion that
IL is about six miles in width. Gold,
field is said to have one OF the largest
representations In the new district.
while Utah has large property hold
ing. a bank is soon to be started
and number of buildings Will be
erected within short time.

TAFT TRIBUTE TO
JEWISH PATRIOTS

Washington, Feb. 2S.-In replying
10 a delegation from the American
Association OF Foreign Language
newspapers, who called at the White
House to protest against certain I'M
migration bills pending In congress
President Taft today paid high trl'
ute to the Jews who had come lC
Ameriia and become imbued with the
true spirit OF patriotism.
"The question OF limiting immiera-
tion." said the president, "in such a
way as to shut out the undesirable Of
Europe. is a question which has ad-
dressed Itself to congress in the past.

BROWN HEAR|N
IS CONTINUED

Salt Lake, Feb 2S.-All the work
OF securing a jury TO hear the contest
over the will OF Arthur Brown was
wasted by the granting of continu-
once for the term this morning by
Judge NJ. l. Richie of the district
court. Beyond the opening address
OF o. w. Powers TO the jury, nearly
all OF last week was taken up with
which must be done over again at
the next term. which opens April IL.
The continuance was granted on
the motion of Attorney Caesar Robin
son OF Denver. and w H King de-
clared that they had relied on their
contention that the evidence Judge
Powers proposes TO introduce could
not be received under the complaint,
which had not set forth that the chill
dren were the illiegitimate children
OF Arthur Brown. but merely used the
words "children" and heirs"
In granting the continuance. which
was stoutly opposed by Judge Powers.
Judge RItchie said that while be be-
lieved the counsel for the defense
should have interposed their objec-
tions earlier In the case, he was not
disposed to hamper them when they
said they were not prepared. He
therefore continued the case for the
term.
There were many disappointed spec
tators in the court room. Interest In
the fight which Mrs. Anna Bradley is
making to obtain for her children a
portion OF the estate OF the man she
slew in a Washington hotel is keen.
