Meyer's Grease Faint o be dui)licatiniL;' this season the lUge success made last season by dr. Rradv's production of Little Vomeii. The Things That Count is drama of tliree acts, in which the entral fii^ure is an elderly married voman witli a henpecked husband, hey have lost their only son, who lied shortly after marrying a youn,!.^ ictress. The mother did not ap- )rove of the match and would never ecognize the daughter-in-law. A aithful man servant and a physi- :ian, a friend of the dead son, look ifter the young wife, who, after the leath of her hu.sband, continues to nake her own living, but by sewing nstead of returning to the stage, as a baby made continuation of her stage career impracticable. In the end, of course, there is a reconcili- ation by the mother-in-law, who, though brusque in manner and given to "lording" it over servants, her husl^and and even some of her poor relatives, is nevertheless a woman of fine sensibilities and thoroughly charitalile at heart. Ilumor is pre- dominant throughout the play. First comes a scene with the licn- pecked hu.sband, who ])atiently waits for his breakfast from 8 un- til II o'clock on the morning of the anniversary of his wedding, rather than break his custom of always eating with his wife on their wed- din.g mf)rn. The second act leads to the humble lodgings of the son's wife and their little girl, who is soon to undergo an operation. There is a merry Christmas party in which Nick Long and Idalene Cotton arc brought in, in tlieir familiar imi)er- sonations of Italians, h'lorinc Ar- nold, a former San Francisco favor- ite, sustains the role of Mrs. Hen- nebery, which calls for a .skilful ad- mixture (jf both comedy and ])athos. Alice Lindahl was the young actress whose reco,gnitic)n by the family came almost too late. Other ex- cellent members of the cast were Charles 1). Millward, as the i)hysi- cian, who finally marries the young- widow; Hallet I'osworth as the family butler, who is finally won by Ingeborg. a Swedisli maid, enacted to ])erfection by Hilda Keilstrom; Florence Mack as Mrs. O'Donovan ; Louise Muldener as Frau Runder- felder ; and little Edna \V. Hopper as the eml)ryo ballet dancer, ^"ou needn't be afraid of taking your best girl and the entire family to see The Things That Count. It's a clean wholesome play and a great success. * * * Charles Frohman has decided that Billie Burke shall ])lay a spring season at the LYCEUM Theatre. Miss I^urke will have a new comedy, called jerry, written by Mrs. Catharine Chisholm Cush- ing, author of Kitty MacKay. The piece is in three acts, with all the scenes laid in suburban Philadel- ])hia: most of the scenes are out-of- doors, in the spring of the year, and abundant oi)]K)rtunities will be afforded the actress, not only for comedy situations, but fen- a disi)lay of the newest ideas in a wide range of fashional)le feminine ap])arel, in- cluding blue pajamas. A single reading of Mrs. Cushing's new play, Jerry, so delighted Mr. Froh- man that he instantly saw an oppor- tunity to duplicate at the Lyceum Theatre the s])ring season Miss ISurke ];layed at the Empire last year, even at the cost of postponing Miss Burke's projected California season until next August. Mis.s lUirke will begin the rehearsals of Jerry directly after her ])resent llos- ton engagement. The ])iece will have its first i)erforniaiice at the Ly- ceum Theatre, Thursdav, March 26. ilesides Miss I'urke the company will include Shelly Mull. Allan Bol- lock, Lumsden i lare, Thomas Rey- nolds, William Thornton, Cladys Hanson, .Alice John, and others. GAVIN 1). HIGH. ICXI-ITEK.

Wil- lard Mack and Marjorie Rambeau, who closed with the Utah Theatre Stock Com])any Saturday night, fin- ishing out the week with Kindling, that Miss Rambeau made such a dis- tinct hit in when j^resented at the liouse some weeks ago. The Utah Theatre .Stock Company introduced new leads last night upon the retire- ment of Mr. Mack and his wife (]\Iiss Rambeau), in the personages of Hal- Ictt Thom]ison and Helen Gemble, the l)iece selected being The Right of Way, in which the former has several times heretofore apj^eared. The open- ing production was very much mar- red by the inability of Howard .Scott to appear, this gentleman taking sud- denly ill. A substitute was forced to read the i^art. Next week The Thief will give exceptional opportunities for Miss Gemble to display her ability. The ORPHEUM has a laughing show for fair. W. H. Murphy, Blanche Nichols and Company in The .School of Acting headline, though sharing honors with Walter Lawrence and Frances Cameron. Leo Carillo has a good line of dialect stories and mimicry and The Double Cross is a good comedy melodrama. Martinetti and Sylvester are comedians and l^iantomimists; Sidney H. Philijjs sings well to the accompaniment of Winnie ^Vhite at the piano; and Helen Gannon introduces a novelty in whistling.

Others on the bill are Reed's .Acrobatic I hill- dogs; Dunbar and Turner; Julia Red- mon l and Company in The Critic and the (iirl, a neat skit with good come- dy ; and .Max iMslu-r, the rag-time violinist. The cabaret entertainment offered l)y V. L. Wille at the CAI-E MAXIM is causing no little ciAliment. His engagement of Pony and Leddy, the tango dancers, just from San l'"raiicisco, has set the town talking and the ladies have taken in several of Salt Lake's elite to learn the po])- nhir dance at i)rivate lessons. PRIN- CESS is still offering Sam Loeb and the rest of the comi)any that is i)lay- ing to ever-increasing business. R. STI'.LTFR. S\LFM.
