F, The play, The Awakening OF Helena

Thompson, a young california play
wright, who with several dramatic cf-
forts to her credit, has, with the nd OF
Margaret Anglin. succeeded I'm scoring
complete triumph with THE Awak-
,ening Of Helena Richie" Tho play
was originally produced last Septcm-
her at the Savoy theator. IN New
York. where II enjoyed steady run
OF ever four months and II comes here
direct Aided by company or ac-
tors and actresses, every one Of whom
has been credited with achieving a
personal hit. Miss Angelin would
seem TO have surpassed an her pre-
vious efforts by her finished methods,
restrained force and magnificent dra-
matte qualities. Helena Richie is re-
ported to be ideally suited to Miss
Anglins original methods
The supporting company includes
Eugene Ormonde, John = Crawford,
Walter Howe. Eugene Shakespear,
Howard Hun Raymond Hackett Hal
bert Brown. Sally Williams. Gertrude
Swiggett. Frances Jordan and Mrs. G,
w. Brooke.
Much to the general regret, Miss
Auglin has abau ioned her purpose to
revive Mrs. Danes Defense but her
manager counts on the strength OF the
other piece TO I'll tho house all four
performances.

are visit from David kessler's all
star Yiddish company and the famous

person Offering the most suitable name.
Mack'R story narratcs the adventures
OF tenderfoot from the east, who
comes to a typical western COW camp.
He is not ono of the cigarette smoking,
cane carrying sort. usually seen In So
called western plays. but "a mere plain
man, college bred chap, who falls
easily into tho routine Of the camp and
soon takes his place as one OF the best
men on the ranch. lie falls In love
with the daughter of his employer.
and complications arise from the fact
that his past g. discovered To have been
questionable, but AT the last II comes
out that ne has been eXiled FOR the
faults Of "A Younger brother, and I'M the

II Ia said TINT the first reception OF
Macks play may decide its being pur-
chased by an eastern Arm. so that sne-
cial attention VIII be given 10 the salt
Lake premiere
THE MISSION BILL
Tho conconsus Of opinion among
those who have seen the
present hill az tho Mission,
is that Il rs one OF the best
that the house has yet offered. To
many the dream scene from 'grhc
Bells" as presented by John Grifith and
his company will be the big feature.
Mr. Grihth's last appearance I'm this
city was In Faust" nj the salt Lake
thcater His present offering Is an
Innovation. M least i'm Salt Lake vau-
devillc
Another feature OF the bin arc the five
dogs under the charge Of Max York.
This act is unique IN two ways, the
man Ia charge does not speak "a word
during the act. much less does he use
whip. The now moving picture II
given and the orchestra Is ny to tho
usual standard.
