Theatres

The Mack Swain Stock company
showing this week at the Thatchcg
Opera House is one of the best com.
panies that has shown here. and de.
serves better treatment from the peo.
pie of Logan. Considering the ten,
twenty and thirty cent rate of admis-
sion II really seems strange that the
company cannot have better support
from our pleasure loving patrons. For
stock company IT as a strong one,
each member of the company being ex.
ceptionally good. In Her Only SIM"
and "Madame's Divorce" Monday aud
Tuesday evenings respectively, the
players showed to good advantage;
all the parts being well sustained, the
comedian being exceptionally funny.
The company should play to better
audiences for the balance of the week.
When one can see such high class
production as the Mack Swain com
pany is presenting, and see them for
such reasonable price, the Opera
House should be iammed for the rest
of their stay here.
The offering tonight will be the
sensational drama in four acts EMIT.
led, Three Weeks" This play is at
present the talk of two continents and
the house will undoubtedly be packed
to overlooking to witness the per-
Torrance tonight. The Salt Lake Tri-
bune of March the 9Th has the follow
ing to say OF the production. "A dra-
matization of Three Weeks" opened
a three nights engagement at the Col
onial Theatre Sunday evening. A well
filled house gave the production a
good reception. The Queen of Sarda-
liza gave her life for great happiness
that of knowing the love of man
who loved her, and in so doing lifted
nation from despair brought about
by the treacherous legislation of the
king. Leaving the palace and the king
in Sardalia, the queen seeks rest from
her brutal husband. She falls in love
with a young Englishman and for
three weeks enjoyed the happiest pc
riod of her life. For the sake of the
man she loves, however, she returns
to the king, but her lover follows,
tragedy being the result.
