Compared With Henry E. Abbey,
all other American managers are
mere pigmies; he sent Mary Ander-
son to London, brought Henry
Irving to america, introduced us to
Mrs. Langtry, dared Maple on's
Royal English Opera company with
an opposing company and beat it
out of time, and he has now con-
tracted for Joachim, the greatest
living violin ylrtuoso.
a band of Sioux Indians are
among the museum attractions in

sacre."
James a. Herne hes been playing
Hearts of Oak" the same piece he

appealed to the courts, and has just
obtained decree in his favor.
Some idea Of the Importance at.

A pleasant controversy is going
on in New York between Mr..
French, owner of "The Silver
King" and Brooks s. Dickson,
owners of "The Romany Rye" as
to which of their respective plays
drew the largest houses On its first
in Salt Lake. The
Home Dramatic club recently re-
ceiYe0 letter from Mr.. French
about the matter. By re-
ferring to the theatre it was found
that the first night of 'sThe Silver
King" drew S1,4OO, while that Of
The Romany Rye did not reach
$1,000. On the other nights, how
ever, the latter went considerably
ahead Of the former, though it
must be remembered that Mr..
French's piece played two nights
against the circus.
