OK acts comprising the new Orpheum
- bill this week furnish the audience
more entertainment than the average
scven-ac, programme at that house III
would be a cynlc indeed who would not
frankly acknowledge that this week
bill is pleasing.
'iThc system" threc-act playlet, is
the chief attra ction. but II is by no means
the only number that Is appauded-and
heartily. too,
Taylor Granvillc's act has to do with
the sub-strata of life and depicts an In
cident Of police work. The earlier part
Of the playlet would lead ono TO believe
that it is TO depict form Of triumphant
graft among police officers. but the act
closes with an exposure OF the same sys
tenn and the arrest of the crooked de-
tectlye. The Eel a crook. has just
been released from a two stretch IN
Stir" and has been arrested because oil
his supposed connection with the theft
Of diamond necklace from the home OF
'one OF our leading citizens" Goldie. his
sweetheart. has been arrested; too. wltn
the expectation that she would "squeal,
I'm order that the Eel utght again he
''railroaded" TO the pcnitentiary. AS a mat,
ter of fact Goldic had been declared
in on the robbery by Tim Dugan, a
detective and the real thief. Dugan,
however, has committed the crime with
Goldie as II partner only for the purpose
OF having something on the girl with
whom he is I'm love, but who has scorncd
him.
With this basis of facts as setting.
the playlet progresses through It's three
scenes toward the righteous arrest OF the
crooked detective and the freeing of tine
Eel and Goldie, The audience voices
its approval when the honest inspector
who has framed" the detective
causes the latters arrest and orders the
release OF the young crook and his girl,
Injected into the piece are parts for the
typical stage reporter and "A cub re
porter, Mr. Granville in writing tho lines
for the pair, or the two young men. who
handle the parts, seems to think that
reporter Is an Individual who runs about
with n lead pencil and a scratch pad
constantly in sight or who in the alb
sence OF the latter suddenly has the
bright Idea OF making notes on his
cuffs" an idea which by the way was
moss grown when State street was a
prairie.
While The System is the headliner OF
the programme George Lyons and Bob
who follow the big act had the audience
with them from the start and kept them
applaudIng even after the orchestra had
started playing the Introductory music for
the last act on tho bin.
Marshall Montgomery. Ventriloquist de
luxe with his dummy hoy, has a heap
OF fun which was enjoyed by everyone.
Montgomery has number Of new stunts
In yentriloQuism and some OF the older
and better tricks. One of the best things
which lie does is the imitation OF a man
whisrling ragtimc tune. Another OF
the more interesting is to have his dummy
enact the role OF a sleeping man and
then TO have that man awakened by hav
Ing cigarette smoke blown into his face.
The sleeper snores, wakes coughing, sneez
ing and gaspng- Montgomery also has
the kcenneSs to note when his audience
has had enough and sensiby quits just at
the time when they clamor loudest for
more
Bert Levy draws pictures on smoked
glass while the audience is given chance
TO see the work In course OF construc-
lion The aCt is new crea tion locally
and proved TO he one of the most Inter
csting, even II ii was not the most ap-
pla uded part Of the programme,
Joe Shrincr and Doll Richards seem 10
place on the programme The pair have
some novelties which really deserve more
attention than that given when one is be-
ing constantly disturbed by the noises en-
for the evening. At that, however, there
was no lack of approval for their work
The Six Samarins, acrobatic and whrl-
wind dancers, close the regular pro-
Srammc in a set OF dances which have
been seen In Salt Lake many times be-
terest by repetition.
The moving pictures this week have TO
do with the testing Of a new explosive,
the discovery Of the comma nding officers
OF government post. There Is a SPY who
steals the formula and there IS the colo
nels daughter who falls In love with tho
spy. The latter Is killed in esca ping
with "the papers and the daughter sud-
denly discovers that all the time she has
been in love with young lieutenant.
Eddie Fitzpatrick and his orchestra have
their usual repertoire OF excellent musical
numbers that are appreciated.
