chorus over and over.

Just as funny as they were last season.
and their lines seem to cover just apout
the same ground too. Miss Mcintyre. a
little plumper than year ago. seems TO
have cultivated the roguish smile whlch
has won her many friends. The pair
were very successful In their efforts TO
please the audience last night.
Arenera had just a bit the best Span
lsh dancing act which has been in Salt
Lake for some time, and that means last
season also. Arenera seems TO combine
all the fire and ginger with which the
Spanish terpsichorean art k supposed TO
be imbued without being in the least bit
vulgar. The castencts which are usually
an inseparable part OF acts OF the kind
are missing, but Arenera has learned a
method OF Swapping her fingers, which
answers the purpose admirably.

The famous detective Of fiction, created
by 4, Conan Doyle. is at his best In the
dra ma tization by William Gillette; And
by the way. william Gillette was the last
man to play the character role of the
piece in Salt Lake. when the piece was
on tour number OF years ago:
However the playgoer could not ask
for a better impersonation OF Holmes
than that given last night by Robert Nc

Arthur Moon was also a 'lawbreaksr,"
his particular forte being e-cracking.
He mingled some excellent humor with
his profession In the part OF Sidney

see the funny side OF things.
The plot Of the play, briefly told, is
match between the master criminal and
the master detective, Morlarity Is a man
who IS the last word in perpetrating every
orrense on the calendar. His apprehension
by Sherlock Holmes forms a drama that
is entirely absorbing throughout it's en-

other plot 10 the piece TO give II the light

roundly applauded. His direction OF the
