oRPHEUM THEATRE.

The first half of the bill at the Or

"MIzPAH."

"Mizpah," the great Biblical drama
written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, was
the offering at the Grand theater last
night, as 1t was all last week. The
usual Sunday night audience was not
in evidence. but a well-filled house was
present and all thoroughly enjoyed the
performance. Mr.. Torch, as King
Ahaserus, gave a fine Interpretation of
the monarch of ancient Persia. The
other characters were up to the stand
ard and last weeks performances aided
materially in smoothing the rouSn
places that are always in evidence dur
ing the first performances OF such
heavy productions as ''Mizpah." Last
nights performance was presented in
a most creditabie manner, and those
who attended were certainly well PAID.
The story, as told in 'Mizpah," is
most beautiful one. 1t is taken from
the Bible story of Esther. the Jewish
maiden, who was chosen by King Ana
serus to succeed queen Vashtl whom
he rejected and ordered from his pal
ace, The story deals with the per-
secution and captivity of the Jews
about the year 45O B. c. Mr.. Torch
said last night that there would De

Monday and Tuesday nights, and COM
mencing with q Wednesday matinee

remainder of the week.

gle, Passes Away After a

burg, died yesterday afternoon at his
home, 1S4 West Sixth South street, aged
Y years. Through three years of the war
Shelly was identified with the Seventeenth
illinois volunteers with the rank of cor

cry.
At Vicksburg, Shelly had close call
from death. Engaged in a charge at the
head of a squad of men, a Confederate
mimic ball struck him over his heart
with such impact that he was knocked
down and stunned. When members of the
hospital corps saw that the bullet had
entered Immediately over the heart they
gave him up for dead. Investigation.

in the war. Corporal Shelly was in
possession of the bullet at the time of
his death.

AUTO Jumps IN DITCH
Motor Car Buries Chauffeur in Mud
Boys Cut Tires Into
Shreds.

Skiddng over the poorly graded thor
oughfare at Twelfth South and Fourth
East streets yesterday morning, an auto
mobile turned turtle and landed in the
city ditch. Occupants, including John
Villa ms, the driver, and two garage
machinists, were also thrown in the
ditch. Williams, buried in mud to his
neck, had a narrow escape from drown
ing, and it required all the strength of his
companion to rescue him.
Early yesterday morning Williams re-
CeiVed a call to take a belated citizen
home. He had safely delivered him at
his residence and was on his way bach
to the city proper when he met the two
ma chinists. Rather than take street cars,
they hoped into the tonneau of the auto
and were speeding along Twelfth South
street when the uneven road SwerVed the
back wheels, sending the auto into low
embankment. 1t cleared the emba nix
ment like d horse attempting to leap a
fence. but then turned completely over
and landed in the ditch.
1t required two automobiles and a set
of block and tackle to dislOdge the auto
mobile from the ditch. The tonneau of
the car was practically demolished. While
Williams went to the city TO get assist
ance in dislodging the car, boys in the
neighborhood of Twelfth South and
Fourth East streets cut the tires into
shreds, stripping them Of their inner
tubes.

NEGOTIATIONS PROGRESSING.

Negotiations are still progressing be-
tween Manager A. B. Jensen of the
Grand theater and Miss Maude Leone
to have her appear upon the stage OF
that theater as soon as she is able to
take up her work. In case this ar
ranaement is made, it is more than
likely that Willard Mack will be en-
gagged to stage and produce the plays
at the Grand. With Mr.. Theodore
Torch as leading man, Miss Leone as
leading woman, and Mr.. Mack as stage
director. the Grand would have plenty
of reasons to bid for public patronage.
The Management of the Grand does not

GREEKS MAKE MERRY
Anniversary of independence Proper
ly Observed With Special Serv-
ices Morning and Night.

Yesterday was a day Of joy and festivi-
ty for the Salt Lake colony Of Greeks,
the occasion being the anniversary of
their independence. Special services in the
Greek orthodox church. 439 West Fourth
South street in the morning, and at 5lS
West Second South street, the heart of
the Greek colony, in the evening, were
features of the observance. Rev. l.. Par
thenus LinperOules, pastor of the Greek
church in this city, gave an able address
in Greek, and the services were of a most
interesting nature.
The Greek independence day is to the
people of that nationality what the glo-
rious Fourth of July is to the patriotic
American born citizen. While the event
yesterday was not observed with the en-
thusiasm that the great American natal
day is, there was, nevertheless, a spirit OF
freedom and liberty manifest, and the
Greeks did not allow the opportunity to
pass for a proper observance.
Chief of Police S. NJ. Barlow and Lieu
tenant John Hempel of the police depart
ment had been rendered special invitations
to take part in the exercises. but were
prevented from doing so because Of pre-
vious enga gements. Most of the Greek
residents of the city took part in the days
doings and the event will be one long 10

COLONIAL THEATRE.

Assurance by the Colonial manage
ment that no accident would delay the
prompt raising of the curtsiu and tho
announcement that Jeanne Russell
would appear in Cousin Kate" drew
another large audience to the Third
South street theater last night. All
promises were fulfilled, including I've
one that Miss Russell, who is so wei!
known here. would astonish her friends
by the finish and smoOthness Of her
work in the delightful three-act COM
eds. in which she is playing the title
role.
Miss Russell has a charming manner
and graceful ways that add distinction
to her portrayal. Her most evident
fault is a lack of vivacity with which
other stars have won praise in this
role. But Miss RusselTs interpreta-
ton is conscientious and painstaking,
and there are evidences of the sort
Of talent that wins the appreciation and
sympathy Of the audience. Her voice
is good and IL was particularly no
tfceahle that she scored every time IN
tie clever lines with which the play
is filled Nevertheless there were OPP
portunities for quick and spirited act
ing in the second act, which is mainly
a scene between Cousin Kate and her
lover, that were not used to advan-
tage. Here the play dragged, at a
time when the interest of the love
episode is at it's height
The story of the play is a combina
ton of amusing mistakes and misun-
derstandings with genuine heart in
terest. and the solution of the SEEM
jnelv unsolvable dilemmas. These hold
the attention of the audience to the
end. To substitute a eurate for an
artist in a young girls affections In
order that some other girl may have
the right lover requires ingenuity In
the plot 1t is done without Mysteries
or melodramatics and everyone Is sat
isfied. The charm OF the play lies In
the simplicity of the story and in the
fact that only pleasurable emotion Is
excited.
Raw F. Brandon is somewhat stilted
Heath Desmond. His theatrical meth
DDS are painfully evident and one is
constantly aware of the workings OF
his methods and of his intentions In
regard to the Interpretation. A less
STACEY manner and more dash and
spirit would furnish better support fol-
Miss Russell The cast is small one
onlv seven persons appearing. Besides
Miss RusselPs part the only other one
that is cleverly done is that of the
English curate, taken by Norval Nc
Gregor. His portrayal is the conyen-
tional one enllvened by some extra
touches that make it genuinely funny
The youth. Bobby Spencer, is fully as
young as he is intended to be. Mrs
Spencer. by Eleanor Gibson, is fairly
well done. Cousin Kate" will run
the week at the Colonial, with usual
ma lees.

BUNGALOW THEATRE.

Arizona" that grand four-act drama,
written by Augustus Thomas, which mas
never failed to interest even the most
biase since II was staged ten years ago.
is this week being presented at the Bun
gaIow. To have seen the good old play
last night was like welcoming home a
GOOD old friend. 1t is admittedly the
Strongest western drama ever written. IL
il a picture of army life unexcelled. Most
of the members of the Bungalow COM
pany are we'll suited to the characters OF
tbe play. Noel Travers as Lieutenant
Denton is admirably suited for the part
Elmer Booth as Henry Candy, owner OF
the Aravaipa ranch. took the character
last night equal to the actor who deVel-
oped it in the original cast. The author
of the play intended that Sergeant kel-
lar should be one of the strongest char'
acters in the production. Much or tht
theme and plot is constructed around
this German sergeant and to misfit th(
mart materially weakens the entire pro
auction. Verne Layton as Captain Hodg-
man carries the military idea out wei
and is a fair sort of a villain as required
by the part. The production will be ma
terially strengthened tonight when Miss
Blanche Douglas of San Francisco is add
ed tn the cast.
