H' ORPHEUM
w T0311 of the intGrcst in thls
H VlJi week's Orpheum bill 1b con-
H. 2mc fined to tho headliners, which
Bf. is rather unusual as vaudeville bills
Hf go. However, the others on the pro-
H gram contribute their share in the
H work of balancing the performance
H and a whole the bill is very good,
H Eddie.
Hj The Cansinos are Spanish dancers,
H1 who are always interestng, and noth
H ing Terpsichorean more artistic than
H "Las Moritas," "The Dance of the
H Coquette" has been seen during the
H season. Nonette, the violinist who
H sings, is as charming; as ever, and es
H pecially so when she plays and re
H frains from singing.
H Togau and Geneva, who are experts
H on the tight wire, have something new
H to offer, and Herbert Ashley and Jack
H Allman "In the Dawn of a New Day,"
H tho title meaning nothing in connec-
H tion with their act, are very entertain-
H ing, particularly Ashley, whose lines
H and method of expressing them and
H his "Mr. Finkelstein" song are great
H hits. Mr. Allman on the order 'of a
H cabaret tenor seemed to appeal par-
H ticularly to the ladies.
H The Seven Original Honey Boys,
H features of the late George Evans
H Honey Boy Minstrels, are a real nov-
H elty because it's been so long since
H. the public saw anything like a min-
H; strel show. Lots of their stuff is so
H old that it is new, and the songs,
H dances and far-fetched jokes in combi-
H nation were effective. One of the
H singers in particular was recalled time
H! and again, a Jew in blackface doing a
H Swiss jodeling stunt truly an exem-
H plification of the melting pot.
H Una Clayton, Herbert L. Griffin and
H Margaret Vinton present "Collusion,"
H an elongated sketch that has its mo-
H ments of enjoyment. However, Griffin
H better not let Ben Ketcham see him
H or he'll sign him up as leading man
H of the Wilkes. Una Clayton acts
H about as usual and Margaret Vinton
Hl as Nell Bradley is immense. So is La
Hj Graciosa, who has considerable figure
H and a fine magic lantern, and would
Hj be an inspiration to those correspond-
H cnts describing the sectors on the
Hi western front. Neither act is labelled
H ''Have You a Little Derrick in Your
Hj Home," but even so the show is worth
K seeing.

Hi YEDORA is the thriller at Pan-
H VJv tages this, week and some thril-
Kj t ler, looping the loop on a motor cycle
Hl at a rate of at least forty miles an
Hl hour, but it looks faster. Cedora has
Hf some assistants, a girl and a man,
H who contribute materially to one of
H the real breath taking performances
H in vaudoville.
H Constantine Bernardi's impersona-
jH tions constitute another feature that
Bf is most entertaining, his various
Hf makeups and characterizations, many
of his changes being made in view
of the audience, winning applause for
the skill and perfection with which he
presents them. Billy Small "The wop
violinist" plays a number of the clas
sics and some popular airs, which took
well willi the first nighters at Pan
lages, and Vivien and Dagmar Oak
land and May and George LePevre are
dancers of the first order. "A "Will
ing Worker" brings a lot of laughs,
Iiawls and Van Kaufman adding to
their popularity with this new offei
Ing. The bill is rounded out with
"The Secret Kingdom," a movii
drama. .
''INTOLERANCE"
OW. GRIFFITH'S colossal spec
tacle "Intolerance" which
comes to the Salt Lake theatre all
next week beggars description. All
the interest that has been aroused in
this production becomes tame when
It is seen. Nothing like its equal was
ever dreamed of before. It is so big
that the figures of its people and its
five thousand different scenes stagger
ou. However, when you conisder
that 125,000 people appear in the pro
duction with 7,000 horses and 1,500
chariots you form some idea of its
comprehensive details.
In keeping with this largeness of
outline is its bigness of purpose ana
theme. It tells four stories that en
compass the high lights in the world's
development. It links Babylon and
the Holy Land and Mediaeval France
all in scenes which join their purpose
with the poetry, the romance, the com
edy and the tragedy of every day ex
istence as it is to be found in an
American city of the present time. It
contains everything that is permissi
. ble in drama and shows the luxury of
ancient courts contrasted with the
misery of modern hovels It shifts
from a scheming plotting court of
Paris in the time of the religious per
secutions to " the more sinister and
cruel persecutions of this age when
over-Lords of regulation would drain
the laughter and smiles of the people
through the sieve of their tolerant
meddling.
It is now dramatic, now pictorial,
now intensely real, now bewilderingly
diverting in its made dances of tho
orient and now solemnly beautiful in
its scenic reproduction of the Holy
Land and the Son of Man who brought
the dawn of a new love into the world
It recognizes neither time nor space.
It is everything that enriches drama
and opera.
HENRY MILLER AT FRISCO
HE annual "Henry Miller season
V- at the Columbia theatre, San
Francisco, will begin on Monday
evening and will continue for two
weeks. The opening play will bo
"The Better Understanding" from tho
pens of A. E. Thomas and Clayton
Hamilton collaborating, who have
heretofore confined their efforts to
musical comedies. It is definitely an
nounced that the run of "The Bettei
Understanding" will be for two weeks.
The following story from the "Chron
icle" of San Francisco will be of intei
est locally because Mr. Miller has so
many friends here, and also on account
of the announcement that Julia Dean
will be the leading woman of his com
pany? Miss Dean lived in Salt Lake
for eighteen of her earlier yeais, and
has a host of friends here who will
be g"iad to hear of the additional hon
ors conferred upon her by being
chosen for a place of prominence, in
the San Francisco season of the Mil
ler troupe:
This determination on Miller's part
to limit the run of each play he plans
to present during his season to a
fortnight is based on the fact that
the new Henry Miller theatre In New
York; will be completed and ready foi
occupancy by its actor-manager-ownei
early in August and on the added fact
that his plans call for the production
of five different plays in this city.
Ever since Miller ended his sensa
tionally successful revival of "The
Great Divide" in New York last April
ho has been hard at work assembling
the organization of notable players he
Is biinging wtli, him. For upwards of
three weeks the company which will
be seen in support of Miller in "The
Better Understanding" has been un
dergoing daily rehearsals in New
York. Admirers of Miller who know
by experience his demands as to flaw
less ensemble performances will see
the evidences of hi- personal direction
of this opening plav.
For his leading woman Miller has -
engaged Julia Dean, admttedly one of
the greatest emotional actresses the
American theatre has produced. In
her part in "The Better Understand
ing" Miss Dean has opportunities for
the display of her ablities quite is
great as those which served her in
her gieatest triumph in "Bought and
Paid For."
Others in the cast of "The Better
Understanding" will be Mrs. Thomas
Whiffen, Cyril Keightley, Frank Byrne,
James Galloway and Peggy Dale
Whiffen.
