THE LINDSAY TRIP.
Successful Southern Tour.

SPANISH FORE May 10, 1888.
Editors Herald:
1t is with pleasure we accept
your Invitation to write you few
lines regarding our trip, particularly
| if such should be of interest to
your readers.
After leaving Salt Lake april
25) we first stopped at PROVO, where
we played "Richelieu" and "Damon
and Pythias." Two good houses
were present, ard, if we are to
Judge by the usual token given
meritorious company, we must con-
clude that a decided hit in our
favor was made in that place. \
From Provo we took the d. and
In. G. to Springville, where we
found the best hall on the route.
The stage and dressing-rooms, how
lever, were not as agreeable us they
could easily be if they were made a
little . cleaner and broken :" props"
land other cumbersome things
were Strengthened up. In this
particular nearly all the houses
are alike.
Our next stopping tplace
was Nephi. In this town we were
greeted by two large enthusiastic
audiences. This undoubtedly was
in part due to the fact that many OF
his friends turned out to see Mr..
Hyde, whom they had known from
boyhood.
At Nephi we were persuaded tt
take trip to Sanpete, which We
did, playing first at Mount Pleasant
next at Manti. Our trip was some
what rough through this county
as the greater part of it was made
lby team. This would not have
been so bad, however, had the vino
behaved itself and allowed us to e.
lon without being annoyed. Fou
hours ride in open air is, of course
a healthy thing, as much so to &C
tors, as editors, or others, but i
takes a lot of 'make up to fit on

Sunday evening 18th instant) foun'
US at Wales, which place We left o.
Monday morning for Payson, max
ing the through trip in about thre
= hours ride by rail, Tomorrow W
= return to Nephi for two night
performances. After that we sha
commence our return trip, and {
Payson, Spanish Fork, Springvill
and Provo we shall play one or tW
nights.
Our hole trip has been one (
pleasure, with the very OCCASION
exception of poor hotel accomod
tion in q town or two. Everywhe
we have had good houses, conside

! have been unanimous that no cor
pany of equal talent and with sui
beautiful costumes ever travelt
, through these towns.
1t is somewhat peculiar that
the two plays. in one town, erich

place "Daman and Pythias" becon

- Lindsay's acting brings out unli1
tied praise, and the people wond
at his ability to impersonate Rici
leau and admire his powerful CT
ception of Damon, listening wi
breaJhless attention during

Enthusiastically evideng is the fs

sonal mention, we cannot conclU
without saying that Miss Dunl
is achieving success and popular
which if the profession be follow
will establish for the lady the re-
lot tation of an actress of considera
merit.
Our success is due to Mr.. Lii
