The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-12-07

Fred and Albert have been before
the public for nine years as gymnasts.
To the fact that they are always in
Producing novelties and executing them
with ease and grace, is ascribed their
good standing in big vaudeville The
derrick trick, which is executed by
only Fred and Albert, is their own ere
alton, and is said to be one of the
most difficult as well as picturesque
accomplishments in the acrobatic world.
/" HERE is a young man in an act
at the Empress this week who
will probably be reading his
name in big electrical letters on
the managers charge the dear public
SO apiece to go in and watch him cut
up. His name is Andrew Tombes and
he appears as comedian in 'Cupid s
Syndicate,' an act that heads bill
of unusual proportions. Now Mr..
Tombcs may have funeral name and
the same kind Of appearance, but his
line Of comedy has nothing of the
tombs about it, unless you should laugh
yourself to death. Tombes has every
thing to recommend him as a coming
comedian. He has youth and good
looks, looks of the kind that they pay
high salaries for in moving pictures so
that you can make funny faces at the
camera Best of all, he has originality,
and that counts most, and he can dance
and sing remarkably well. which also
adds to his drawing powers. Some OF
these days some manager out OF the
east is going TO cast an eye over Mr..
Tombes and his days on the vaudeville
stage win be numbered, The act Is
cleve,.. tunefui and very well staged,
and Mss Miriam Carson is delightful
! in the role assigned to her. AS mu-
sical offering Mr.. Tombes and Gu
pid s Syndicate is just about the best
that the Empress has offered its pat
rons since the opening Of this coy
house.
Another act that seems to be causing
all sorts Of laughter IS the Shakespear-
can travesty, ''Othello Outdone,' pre-
seuted by the Clayton, Drew company
Of players. It's just just one great,
bic laugh following another until your
sides ache from laughing. The act Is
elaborately staged with special stage
setting and the costuming is accurate.
If it's laugh YOU are looking Tor,
''Othello Outdone" Will surely fill the
bill.
SNYDER and Halo are delightful
dancers, and they do Tango that
brings them a rich reward of applause;
Several other popular and graceful
dances are included in their novel roper
TORE. At the present time, when
'fcraze' dances seem to be the vogue,
this nimble-footed team will prove to
be one of the real treats of the season.
The Brazilian glide, brand-new one,
is offered for the first time IN tins
city.
Clarence Oliver, formrly the star of a
Cohau production, HOtflcer 66o, ap-
nears in song and monologue. and he
and some new songs and parodics that
bring him a liberal share of applause.
This is Mr.. Oliver's first vaudeville
tour and what the Legitimate has lost
vaudeville has gained.
Gruet and Gruet have lively little
act called ''Sam at the Circus This
| is burnt-corl number of the sterling
variety and is n great laugh winner.
This team has appeared in Salt Lake
many times. but never TO better adj
vantage than in their present vehicle,
which gives them a splendid opportu-
nitv to sing. dance, talk and play an
assortment of musical instruments
A great big applause hit are o 'Brien
and Lear in their delightful musical
offering. 1t is seldom that both mem
hers OF a vaudeville team are found TO
possess excellent singing voices, but In
| this particular case both voices har-
monize beautifully. Their impersona-
tion of the real East Side Italian is q
work of art and classic in its line.
| Another great, big comedy bill is
promised for next week, opening with
n matinee next Wednesday, For nov
eIty the newt bill has not been sur
passed this season.
Heading the list is the funny farce,
..In Ig99.p or what the women Will
| do when they hold all the political of
fices. It's one Of those "away ahead y
comedies that is extremely funny. and
sets man to thinking 'Hwhere will |
be then'
As the added attraction, Durkin S
dog and monkey circus will have the
boards. These little dumb animals are
really great actors. They ask 20 ia
| yors and earn every little bone they re.
