to the Salt Lake theater tomorrow
night. opening an engagement OF
three nights and matinee.
"Maggie Pepper" was written by
Charles Klein. and it tells the story Of
a department store girl There is no
playwright in the United States today
with keener insight for the dramatic
possibilities of everyday life than Mr..
Klein. He has brought to tho making
of "Maggie Pepper" the best of this
ten drama really in keeping with
American life, as the average person
sees it and he handles his theme with
deft comedy. pretty sentiment and Il
melodramatic sense none too harsh Miss
Stahl aud an excellent company under
the management of the Henry b. Harris
estate bring all this out in their inter
probation of the story, telling one big
and several minor episodes in the life
Of "Maggie Pepper" in her work from
cash girl to buyer for big department
store.
Miss Rose Stahl has earned her repu-
tation as one Of the foremost actresses
on the American stage by sheer worth.
There is no tinsel in her crown and paid
puffery and laudatiou have had no part
in the creation of her standing. Years
Of hard work, consistent characterize
tion, insistenco upon the big appeals Of
everyday life as dramatic study, consid-
Grafton for the public which supports
the thcater and first.class, thoroughly
American, sense Of humor highly devel-
oped have gained her the place she now
holds. Her Patricia O'Brien in "The
Chorus Lady" will stand as one Of the
finest creations Of an American type
ever placed on our stage, and Maggie
Pepper, while radically different by rea-
son of her environment and upbringing,
will be no less marked for its revela-
tion of tho mental attitude OF the wo-
man Of the department store.
The Henry B. Harris estate. which
will present Miss Stahl in her new play,
has surrounded the star with com.
pauy Of excellent players. The settings
and equipment Will be adequate in every
particular.
