Whether or not he was giving some

Sufficient that his signals were quite
enough to tell every one within miles

Several freight engineers apparently

oRPHEUM THEATRE

The Salt Lake Orpheum enters upon
the second big week of Orpheum
vaudeville at pre-war prices with one
OF the best bills of the current season,
the new bill opening Wednesday night.
Valeska Suratt, famous as a stage
and screen star and as the original
"vamp," headlines the bill in the
metropolitan romance, Scarlet" The
Offering is a one-act dramatic playlet
from Jack Lait's "One of Us" and IL
is said to be one of the most alluring
OF the seasons list of vaudeville plays.
The famous Valeska is supported by
a fine cast of players including Eugene
Strong and Grant Sherman.
Another outstanding attraction OF
the bill is the musical act OF Fradkin,
the noted viollnist and former con
cert master of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, and Miss Jean Tell,
soprano. They provide some moments
musical and bit OF entertainment
that for real artistry has had few
equals in vaudeville. Charles Irwin,
the modern comedian, is another big
feature. He's one OF the funniest fel.
lows In the varieties and a monologist
OF rare wit. His songs, too, are won
derfully we'll sung and full OF humor.
Charles ID. Heating and James Nc
Clay, two newcomers to vaudeville and
real youngsters, present fascinating
and amusing portrayals of Mark
Twain's celebrated youths, Huckle
berry Finn and Tom Sawyer Theirs
Is a most entertaining contribution to
the bill. The Nagyfys appear In q
pyrotechnic sensation, wonderful and
mysterious. They defy natures laws
I'm most startling manner Alfred
Farrell and Carley, the picture man
and the picture girl, offer a decided
novelty. They paint vivid and beauti-
full pictures with nothing but a bunch
OF old rags. Hall and Guilda appear
in diverting new dance ideas. Both
are fancy steppers who show real class
in their terpsichorean Offering. Kin
ograms and Topics OF the Day round
out the super-excellent bill with some
new pictured news events and bright
sayings from the newspapers.
The reduction of prices at the
Orepheum has met with public APP

the splendid bills coming and the
