U "The Man on the Case,"a new com-
edy by Grace Livingston Furniss, who
I dramatized "The Man on the Box,"
has closed its metropolitan run at the
U Madison Square theatre after a month
of success. Jameson Lee Finney and
the entire New York cast will go on
a tour witli the original production.
John Drew has surpassed, all his
previous New York records at the
Empire theatre. He is doing the most
prosperous business of his career at
this house with the pretty and bril
liant comedy, "My Wife." It is said
to be a genuine John Drew comedy
and the hero of it, the make-believe
W husband, is as attractive a John
Drew character as the favorite com
edian has ever appeared in.

NEXT WEEK AT THE ORPH
,EUM. If you want to enjoy a good even
ing of vaudeville entertainment, don't
fail to see the Orpheum's fine bill
this week; it is composed of the fol
lowing attractions:
The first number on the program
are Minnie Sclegman and William
Bramwell who present a screaming
comedy sketch entitled "A Dakota
Widow." The critics have been una
nimous in giving this sketch praise,
for its originality and fun provoking
features, where it has been' seen.
Next arc Charles and Lily Char
lene, billed as Drawing-room enter
tainers; it is said that they have a line
of unique and novel stuff that has
more than "made good."
Lucy and Lucier appear next in
"The Fool's Errand;" their turn is
said to be an especially clever one; the
grotesque manner in which Lucier
performs is unusually interesting.
The Teddy Trio, European comedy
performers, are acrobrts of extraordi
nary agility and ingenuity, who have
a turn that is claimed to be nigh to
the top notch of acrobatic fame.
Chinese Johnny Williams & Co.
will present a Chinese act that is a
hummer; Johnny Williams is univer
sally known as the American Li Hung
Chang; his is a Chinese burlesque
magic act, in which he performes a
great number of puzzling and baffling
tricks and then exposes them. His
dialect and make-up arc said to be
well worth walking a mile to sec and
hear.
Harry DeCoc, "The ma . with the
Tables and Chairs" does some re
markably clever balancing work; oik.
of his acts is to take a lot of chairs
and tables and stack them nearly out
of sight in the upper wings, and then
do some wonderfully marvelous bal
ancing feats at top of same.
With a lot of new Kinodromc films
and some new overtures by our well
known Orphcum Orchestra ably con
ducted by Prof. Weihe, the even
ing's entertainment is concluded.
Srlt Lake Orphcum management
are to be congratulated over the fol
lowing list of high-grade attractions,
which are booked and arc to have an
early dating 'here; Rose Coughlan,
Anna Eva Fay, Viola Pratt Gillette,
George J. McFarland, Eitenne Girar

"IN OLD KENTUCKY."
"In Old Kentucky," is coming to
town. The play will be at the Salt
Lake theatre next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. What play on the
boards today is louKcd forward to
with keener anticipation by theatre
goers or greeted with more enthus
iastic audiences everywhere. This
season, 1907-08, the piece has reached
the fifteenth year of continuous suc
cess in the United States, and the
fact is worthy of note, for the aver
age play wears itself out with the
public in four or five years as a us
ual thing. Occasionally, an old play
of merit is revived for a year or so,
but in the case of "In Old Kentucky"
it has never been laid on the shelf
and has never had a "revival" as they
say. Every year since its original

production, it has been on the road
and coining money, too. The com
pany and production arc always kept
to a high standard of excellence, and
no inferior or number two company
is ever sent out. The pickaninny
band, composed of more than a scoro
of diminutive Ethiopians if a musical
turn of mind, is always 'an interest
ing feature of "In Old Kentucky."
The race scene is always well done
and exciting and there is an atmos
phere of the Sunny South pervading
the place that proves unusually sc
ductive to the average pky-goer. "In
Old Kentucky" appeals to every class
of theatre patron by reason of its
manifold attractive features', and the
American stage has offered but lew
plays of equal merit in the last de
cade. What is probably the most ex
pensive and the most elaborate equip
ment ever prepared for the play has
been gotten up for the present sea
son's tour, and th company, it is
promised, will equal, if not surpass
any that has ever been seen in the
play. In the cast will be Miss May
Stockton, who will assume the role
of Madge Bricrly, the mountain hero
in;, Miss Margaret Lee, Miss Kath

Bill Squires has discovered the reason 'I
why he has met with such poor luck I
in the few bouts he has had s:ncc he I
landed in this country some months I
ago. He says it h muscular rhcu- I
matism and he has been at Hot I
Springs, Ark., taking the treatment I
for this kink in his fighting muscles. I

All major league records for shut- I
outs were broken in the National I
League this year, with a total of 153. I
The innovation introduced by the old I
league this year of reducing the sec- U

innings or less was responsible for il
some of these record-breaking shut- I
outs. H

The Czar has ordered that while in H
