(loodwin has a splendid ve- Iiicle in Never Say Die. and were it not for the strong counter attractions l)itted against him, capacity would un- <loubtcdly have been i)laved to at the SALT LAKE Theatre the latter half of last week; however, with the Sells- {•"loto Circus to compete with on Tliursdav nigiil and Emma Lucy Ciales. I'tali's inlernalional songbird, in recital at the Tabernacle Friday, only one day was left for the show- going public to think of the theatre. The comedy is by William H. Post, and Mr. Goodwin is appearing under I;is own management and is supported liy Margaret Moreland, ])retty, well- formed and graceful; in fact, right at liome in the leading feminine role. .Some of the late.'^t creations in the line of gowns are introduced by this ciiarming lady. The Ijalance of the presenting cast was made up of Char- lotte Lambert, isador Marcel, Stanley Harrison, Walter Chixton. Dennis ( "leugii. Lute \>ohman. Master Ger- ald Hidgood, Gladys Wilson, Dan Moyles, etc., and make the most of their parts. The play is in three acts and two scenes, the first Mrs. Steven- son's drawing-room in London and the other Woodbury's rooms, St. James. The story surrounds a rich American, Dionysius Woodbury (Nat Good- win), in London under the care of two specialists, who comfortingly tell him he has but several more weeks to live. With this in view, to financial- Iv assist his friend to properly care for his sweetheart he is about to marry, and Iielp replenish the girl's exchequer, which has been depleted through the failure of the bank hold- ing the family funds, he makes a ])roposition to marry the girl, who is to leave immediately upon a trip to Russia, llefore her return Woodbury expects to die and leave his entire for- tune, .some five million dollars, to her. However, tlie quacks fail to make good in their promise of his immedi- ate death, and he finds him.self at the end of a year still alive and unable to make good on his compact. The fun is fast, and with such a clever man as Mr. Goodwin in the leading role, dispensing the droll comedy in his own inimitable fashion, a good evening's entertainment is guaranteed. The girl returns from Russia and is thoroughly pleased with her hurriedly- married hu.sband. The whole of this week. IVg n' My Heart, with a $26,- 000 business in Los Angeles reported back of them, is holding forth. The first jierformance was almost a com- plete sell-out. which will probaI)lv be the order of things for the balance of the week. Peggy O'Neil, who was first advertised to appear locally, is not in the cast, but Florence Martin is receiving generous notices for her apt an(l careful portrayal of the name part. This is the last attraction of the sea- son. Tonight's i)erformances will close the present show at P.A.N- T.-\GES. the new bill starting tomor- row, \\'edncsday, headed by Lottie Mayer and her diving girls. Bar- nold s dog and monkey comedians headline the present bill, with Tom Kelly, the' singing Irishman, billed as the added attraction. Others: The Jolly Jollier (the Barrows-Lancaster Company), Jerome and Carson, and Woods and Lawson. T-ast night Man- ager F. R. Newman donated the Pan- tages Theatre for the early evening for the cha!n])ionship tv])ewriting contests. The EMPRESS'bill is a specially strong one, without a weak spot. The headline act is the Six Parisian Har- mony Girls, clever in,strumentali.sts and Vocalists, who appear in stunning clothes. Spiegel's Daughter's Beau, another Maxwell act, comes in for second honors, with Al Herman in blackface a close second. Williams and Segal, dancing duo. and tiie Ryan IJros., aerial gymnasts, finish out the hill. Sam Loeb and his company have another ap])reciativc offering at the PRINCESS, with new chorus num- liers and funny situations. Ketchner and Thornton have joined the cast, botli wearing fine clothes and getting their business over in good shai^c. Sells-Floto and Buffalo Bill (himself ) Circus showed here last Thursday, ]:)laying to turn-away business. The 23 cent admission for the big show is fast winning its way with local peojilc. i'-mmy Lucy Gates, one of I'tah's own, who has been singing in grand o])era in i'erlin, is home on her vaca- tion, and in recital at the Tabernacle Friday night drew a goodly crowd. Tile A:\IERICAN Theatre (picture iiou.se) orchestra of twenty odd i)ieccs was loaned by Manager Sims for the (Kcasion. (ientry Bros, dog and pony circus will be here Thursday. R. STELTER. HONOLCIA'.
