~ FANNY MORGAN PHEI.Ps.-From the
Leayenworth Bulletin we learn that this tai
ented actress, who created such a favorable
impression in this city two years ago, is now
performing IN Leavenworth with great sue
cess. The Bulletin speaks very highly-of her
personations, and that, too, not with out good
reason.
FoR SALT LAKE.-Gen- Clampitt started for
Salt Lake on yesterdays coach, his departure
being hastened by the serious illness of mem
bers of his family. We are glad to be able
to announce that he will, probably, within
three or four weeks, again favor this city
with his presence.
From Mondays Daily.
day night was witnessed by large and inter
esting audience, who most certainly enjoyed
one of the best entertainments, taken as a
whole, that has yet been presented to our citI-
zens. Tie play was "The Phantom" highly
sensa tional drama-the story of one of those
Wild, wierd legends of Germany, that clothe
in mournful interest and thrilling romance
every rock, glade and mountain torrent of
the dear old fatherland, the plot being found
ed on the traditions of the Vampire, that ter
ror of maidens "pure and spotless," was
clear, the personel being bold and distinct,
the one idea and story is woven through
and into language as simple AS the pretty
peasant maids who lived in constant dread of
the coming of this horror. The only feature
of the FIRST acs was the "Flower Song" from
Faust, by Madame Scheller. which she sang
with exquisite feeling, and her pure, clear
tones were never heard to better advantage.
The second act gave more scope for fine act
ing. The Madame exhibited some rare
shades of acting, and represented the trance
scene with a truthfulness positively startling,
and i-6sorbed all admiration for the acting by
sympathy for her condition. Mr.. Waldron as
the soulIess. fseIingless being was grand
sometimes awful; we have never seen a char
acter so vividly personified-that realized so
correctly the appalling and awful "mystery."
Mr. Langrishe as "Davy was immense; his
fears were as grotesque as they were awful
Martin rs DIR. Reese very fine, and
could not have been better. Mrs. FitLDil- |
lians, Mrs. Shields, Mortimer, Griffith and 4
Brown acquitted themselyer well in their re-
spective parts. The farce was convulsing, 4
very. Tonight will be presented rare old 4
comedy, "Giralda, OF the Miller's Wife,"
French opera VlramatIzed. 1t Is one of the /
most comical comedies In the English Ian /
guage. After attending rehearsal we can /
confidently say that IL Is sparkling all over
and full of repaTtee and songs. In IL Mad i
anne Scheller will introduce You Naughty, /
Naughty Man. from the {" Black Crook
Mr.. Langrishe appears ''Gil." Madame
Scheller as sfGeralda." The other cast Is very /
strong. This will be one of the most delight
full entertainments of the season.
