they did not bring out all the beau
ties of the Ding Dong chorus, as it
calls for six parts. and four can not
do it justice. Mr.. Hart gave the
first black eye to the engagement,
and he kept pummeling away at it
each time he appeared. knocking off
the patronage in manner that
must have been highly grati>
flying. He had to omit
the Fair Moon" solo (Which
b. b. Young never gave without
gaining an encsre) altogether; the
beautiful duo in the Chimes between
Henri and Germaine was also cut
through his inefficiencv; his Valse
RondO was transpOsed 8 whole tone
lower, and wherever it was possible
the tenor would step up to the foot
lights and sing the music allotted to
the baritone. The comps ny made a
fatal blunder in casting so intOler
| able a baritone in such leading
parts.
Apropos of this company it is
whispered that Miss Beebe went
away very much hurt at the action
of somebody or other in musical
circles here. On Friday or Satur-
day Of week before last, either see
ing or having heard of the Assembly
Hall and its magnificent organ, the
lady expressed a desire to sing there
during the Sunday lservices. Mr..
Howe says he at once applied to
someone connected with the choir,
but without gaining any satisfac-
ton. Applying elsewhere he was
referred to someone else, and so on
till he thought but little interest
was taken in it, and so gave the
matter up altogether. Quite
number assembled on Sunday with
the expectation of hearing Miss
Beebe sing, and were greatly disap-
pointed at her non-appearance. 1t
is to be regretted that Prof. BeeZley,
who was the proper authority in the
matter, was not consulted, as we are
sure from a knowledge of. the readi-
ness with which he exerted himself
for the appearance of Miss Laura
Joyce last summer in the Taber-
nacle. that he would have been
equally pleased to extend Miss
Beebe the same courtesy.
THEATRE AND OPERA HOUSE.
Tuesday afternoon and evening
the much talked of Life Of an Ac-
tress" will see the light at the
Theatre; in this all the strength of
the popular Home Dramatic Club
with Mr.. J s. Lindsay, will be seen
at their best; the two performances
will form fitting conclusion to our
holiday amusements, and there is
no doubt OF their being well patron
lied.
At the Opera House there is
nothing immediate after tomorrow
nights ball. DR.. Mckenzie is look

what he may have lost on the COM

people who come with this opera

Salt Lake, and will jam the house
every night, if rates are not put too
high, and the full strength of their
company is brought along.
