in Salt Lake during the week just
passed, The Rajah, with its run Of
eight months in New York, with
it's Pitt, Elmore and Lemoyne, snd
with its Madison Square trade mark
that brand which has heretofore
possessed the draft Of magic =
has encountered the frowns
of fortune at last, AMI has
retreated from our shores with
a very heavy balance carried 20 the
wrong side Of the ledger. To the
Messrs. Frob oman, whose Hazel
Kirke, E5meralda and Young Mrs.
Winthrop organizations were so
eminently sncc ssful here the result
will be astounding. To Manager
Mcguire it will be no less severe
disappointment, as the coming of
the Rsjah had been ,Oked forwsTd
to, ana ro1 without reason, with
almost the eXDec atoms Of anyther

and followed the example OF the

The Devli's Auction Illustrated
that people still have money TO
spend on a thing that strikes their
fancy; it is very plain to those who
have seen the spectacle that It's title
was chosen to strike the gallery eve
as its proper name ought 10 be, if
the story were taken for it-The
| Golden Branch. This, however, is
of too peaceful and unsuggestiVe a
character aud would not serve with
half the potency Of the other in case
OF any unforeseen enoergency,aS for
instance the Rajah; the Devils
Auction is bound to make mo, ey;
it has too much Of the circus in it to
do otherwise; it might be inn
mensely strengthened by the intro>
duction of some good singing; the
one song by the fairy would have
been magnificent-if omitted; as
we will venture to say it will be
after the first night in San Fran
cisco; before they leave there too,
they will probably have to improve
heir coryphees, and in mercy's
name let US ask them, if they make
return call, to send up the score OF
their music to the orchestra week
or so in advance.
THE WEEK COHING-THE HOLI-
Tuesday and Friday seem to be
the only dates this week On which
We are to have any amusements
Miss Agnes Olsen, leading soprano
Of the Tabernacle Choir, and most
popular young lady Withal, will be
the recipient of a benefit at the
hands Of her friends on the first
named date; the names of Mr..
Weihe, Mr.. Crawford and Miss
bruce are found on the programme,
Mr. James Crawford, brother to the
basso, also makes his first appear
| ance, and the sextette from Lucis,
with Miss Olsen as soprano, con-
cludes the enter ainment. The ad-
yertising of the distribution of the
young lady's portrait to purchasers
of tickets, which might be regarded
as in Questionable taste if it came
from the management, is an indie
pendent movement on the part OF
Dayness& Coalter, and each photo
graph is labelled with the compli-
ments Of that hrm.
| The Fourth, the glorious Fourth,
is usually regarded IS gala day for
thsatricals, and the Home Dramatic
Club will work for ali it is worth on
the coming Friday. Two PERFORM
snces Of the new play of Peril will
/ be given. one at 2 and the other al
$50; the full strength OF the club
will appeaI-Miss Clawson sustain.
| ing a highly emotional part, Mr..
Wells appearing IN line something
out of the usual-that of heavy old
man-aud Mr.. Spencer enaetipg the
usual cut-thToat role he fills in Sc
life like a manner; Mr.. Cummings.
Mr.. Young, Mis-. Cummings and
Miss Whitney make up the re
mainder of the strong cast.
The Careless Amateur Orchestrs
makes its second appearance with
the Club on the above named occa-
sion; under Mr.. Careless the mem.
bers have been hard at work since
they were last heard, and on Friday
they give some of the fruits of theil
labors; among other. selections
! Schubert's 'fSerenade"-(so fol
cornet) will be rendered-quite sI
ambitious step for so youthful az
organization.
