~ WING to its remoteness and Sc
clusiou, the Walk is the ref
uge of highly genteel com
pany. 1t has its own public
opiuion, its own standard Of respecta,
bility, and it is rightly exclusive. 1t
looks upon intruders with suspicion, and
a harmless old gentleman, taking the
air in the afternoon and losing himself
in its precincts, has been known to be
warned off as a trespasser.
This passage is from the introduction
of Louis n. Parker's scenario to his
latest play. 'sPomander Walk which
is TO be given for two nights and Sat
urday matinee at the Salt Lake theater,
beginning Friday evening next.
The character of "Pomander Walk "
is so widely different from the every,
day drama that its novelty has proved
interesting and refreshing. There are
no loud climaxes, no scandals, no at
tempted murders, no social or munich"
pal rottenness to expose, not even a
very exciting incident, but the little
story runs along as quietly rs does the
pretty river upon whose bank the five
little cottages composing the walk are
built. And it is due rs much to the fine
aud experienced abilities of the we'll
seasoned English cast of players thar
present the play as to. the skill and
quaint conception of the author that
such universal success has been
achieved 1t has been noticeable that
the people who most enjoy ''Pomander
Walk" are the ones who are students
and admirers of Dickens g and Thack-
ery's works. Naturally people of cul-
tmrc and refinement admire most a play
in which these characters are upper
most.
With an eye 10 having the play pre-
sented In the most perfect manner pos,
sible. the Leibler company has secured
a cast Of English players. The delicate
English flavor that permeates every
scene and act of the delightful little
comedy could not be properly portrayed
by other than a thoroughly English
cast. Substantially the same cast OF
English players that appeared in f'Po-
mander Walk for a whole season in
New York will be seen In the comedy
here.
A matinee will be played on satur-
day.
This engagement will open the third
season Of the company, which journeys
all the way from New York to accom-
plish it. and also the regular season of
the theater The company is on the way

Wv entertaining qualities, "The
Spoilers,'' the most intense,
the most human, the most absorbing
of dramas put upon the stage IN years,
will be presented by the Willard Mack
Colonial thcater, commencing today.
Rex Beach, who is just now the
vogue among all American writer's, has
been made famous the world over by
writing this most exciting Of all
dramas, "Tbe Spoilers
The play was first produced in New
York, where it created nothing short
Of sensation; then it went to Chi
cago, where it had another long sue
cessful run.
The success of "The Spoilers" has
been remarkable. The worldwide in
| terest shown in this play is due to tho
| boldness of it's story and its fascinat-
! ing characteristics to people who live
| in the glorious west. Men like the play
| because it Is real, manly, and depicts
the unconquerable spirit of the typical
| American. Women like it because the
principal feminine characters i'll the
play show what the real American
woman can do when she is put to the
test. One cannot fail to like 'sThe
Spoilers and theator- goers Of this
city have a treat In store. The story
of the play is simple, but compelling
in interest and wonderfully human,
What intensi6es and interests the
play goer is the ingenuity with which
Beach has told the story. just when
he is thought to have reached the
climax he veers off. and attalns still
another climax, and another, until his
resourcefulness seems without end.
The story is that of two minors, Roy
Glenister and Joe Daxtoy, who own
the Midas, one Of the richest mines in
Alaska. They took passage on board
the steamer Santa Maria, bound for
the rich diggiugs. On board Roy
Glenister, the hero, meets Helen Ches-
ter, the niece OF Judge Stillman.
She has in her possession a letter of
great Importance, from the eastern
swindlers who have created gigantic
plot to rob the miners of their hard
earned wealth. When Glenister arrives
in Dawson, he meets MacNamara, the
arch conspirator, who also is infatuated
with Helen. Mcnamara realizes that
| Glenister means fight to a finish, and
| the famous dance hall scene in the third
act depicts one Of the fiercest and most
intensely interesting battles fought or
the English-speaking stage. The next
is the road house scene, where Helen
has fierce encounter with lawyer
Strive, who is killed by her brother.

rights to the mine, and all ends we'll

"I have never seen Marty O'Toole

him enough to warrant his prediction
of a great future for the Framingham

Some six years ago, Mike O'Toole, now
with ST Paul, then plumber, was do

asked me about the splitter saying he
intended trying pitching.
Il gave Mike a ball used by one of
our best 'spitters, showing a spot where
the saliva had been applied and told
him what little l knew of the splitter.
Mike and Marty worked away with that
ball and why couldn't you trace the
story of that So, 500 paid for the now
famous spitball artist to the plumbing
