FORMER SALT LAKE
MAN SENT TO PRISON
Robert NJ. Elliott Passes Bad
Check to Keep Up Ap-
pearances With Girl.

Special to The Tribune.
SANTA ANA, Cal, Aug. 2-Robert
M. Elliott, who attended the Salt Lake
high school for two years, college stu
dent in mining engineering, and once
appointed to West Point, was today
sentenced to two years in Folsom for
forging the name of T. c.. Stearns to a
check for $25. He told Judge West
that his only reason for resorting to The
use Of a bad check was that he might
get some money to keep up appearances
with a girl to whom he was engaged,
and her people. The girl lives in Los
Angeles.
Elliott is 81 years old He says he
was expelled from college for playing
poker, and was appointed to West

tions, For several years he has been
wandering from place to place, and
though well educated, has held no po-
sitions other than those Of a laborer.

Initial Performance in Beauti.

INTERIOR is LAST
WORD IN ELEGANCE
Governor Spry Headlines Bill /;
Many Prominent Utahns
Present.

When $500 persons were seated and
ready for the first performance IN the
new Orpheum last night they looked
about them with surprise and delight.
The general impression was one Of spa
ciousness and charm. After that i'm
preston had fixed itself in the minds
of the spectators they devoted them
selves contentedly to the thousand and
one details that combined to make the
interior a masterpiece of theater build
ing. Decorations, lighting effects,
boxes, loges, mezzanine floor, lobby,
foyer, stairways, galleries-all were the
last word in the architecture Of the
theater.
If there was noticeable hitch in the
premier 1t was the delay at the door.
Apparently most Of the vast audience
had decided that they must be in the
theater promptly at 8 o'clock. The re-
suit was that flock of automobiles
gathered in front Of the new Orpheum
precisely on the hour, and their passen-
gers mingled with the hundreds who
were pouring into the lobby. Although
the lobby is more than 100 feet in
length, it was soon filled. and the tick
ct takers at the single door, which was
opened to admit the audience, found
confronted by most diff
cult task.

A Robert Elliot, thought to be the
young man referred to in the above
dispatch, was one time student of the
Salt Lake high school, his last year Of
attendance being in 1900~01 He did
not graduate, however, though he was
later appointed to West Point and
failed in the examinations. According
to Principal George A. Eaton, Elliot
was m average student without known
bad habits. Elliot has relatives living
in this city. They last heard from him
a month ago when he wrote letter
and gave his address as San Juan Cap
ristrano.
