been stricken with a plague;
in Salt Lake we gave them
over $1,000 on the opening
night. and next evening they could
not have got an audience by giving
it all back again. The worst we can
wish for Mr.. Lesvitt and his COM
pany is that they will reach San
Francisco in safety, and that the
critics of that city will bs present in
a body at his performance.
A PIRATE IN OUR MIDST.
Mr.. H. g. Whitney, manager OF
the Home Dramatic Club, on We'd
nesday, received the following tele-
gram:
New York, Feb. Goth.
Please telegraph at my expense if
Kendall o. medy company are playing
Bonanza King and st which theatre.
SAMUEL FRENCH q Son.
Mr.. Whitney made inquiry at the
Opera House and found that the
Bonanza King was in Kendall's
repertory, and that 1t would prob.
ably be played Saturday night. He
wired French e Son to that effect,
and knowing that Fedora was their
property, added that that play was
also in Kendalrs list. On Friday
he received the following answer:
New York, Feb. 2lst.
Thanks for telegram. What q pirate

j. 81. FRENCH.
The Bonanza King which Mr..
French asks about is nothing else
than the play of The Silver King,
with its title changed so as to escape
the eyes of the owner. Fedora,
Miss, and the Gilded Age,
Mr.. Kendall does not even
take the trouble to disguise, though
he knows that each one is manu-
script play and the exclusive prop
eIty of a private individual. This
man Kendall CINE very pro minent
ly to the front, we remember, as
the bold producer OF pirated plays
in eastern towns, at the time when
the Madison Square Instituted so
severe a warfare on tie companies
who were playing unauthorized YER
sions of Hazel Kirke; John II. Ray
mond is wont to be very watchful
of these sort OF dspredators, and he
once stopped one Gill in this city
from playing the very piece Mr..
Kendall assassinated last night. 1t
Raymond has overlooked the K. K.
K, they may be sure from the
above dispatches that Mr.. T. n.
French has not, and they will do
well to confine their warfare to
some dramas in which that gentle
man is not interested.
STAGE WHISPERS.
Rose Eytinge has a lady advance
agent.
The Life OF An Actress is still
held in allegiance.
Roland Reeds Cheek has taken
him to Texas.
Couldock has played Dunstan
Kirke five years; he still likes the
part and wants no change to any
other.
Katie Putnam, Harry Emery,
ETC., are in San francisco. The
press there are not so lenient with
them as we farther east.
Sara Jewett, Barton Hill and
Henry Lee are the rincipals in the
cast OF "That Man" which imme-
l,.A.I- %o1lo,r. Rvor hhoff ~ FIJI
Baldwin. They open March Sd.
Neither the Theatre nor the
Opera House gave q matinee on
Washington's birthday, yet as q
matinee day it was q hundred per
cent, better than Saturday.
A letter to the Salt Lake Theatre
from Manager Hayman says that if
Jeffreys Lewis can not free herself
from her Australian engagement,
Sarah Jewett will be sent here in
stead.
Maurice Barrymore, leading sup
port to Modjeska, has written new
plsy called Notwithstanding in
Polish-Hope; it scored q success in
New York hardly second to that OF
Fedors, and its plot, which we have
had the pleasure of reading, is
equally as thrilling and ingenious
as Sardou's great story.
Miss Amy Sherwin sang FIVE
times in Richmond, Maine, on the
evening Of February 18th. The oc.
casion was the dedication OF the Odd
Fellows block and new public hall,
An exchange says that Miss Sher.
win was encored several times. an0
that the Governor of Maine was
among the first in presenting fora
offerings.
The Tabernacle choir have PIE
pared an excellent programme FOL
their concert and ball on Wednesday
evening. The names include both
Miss Olsen and Mr.. Crawford, the
latter of whom is fast rising to the
head place among our male voice
soloists. The choir ahould receive
all encouragement in their efforts
and we have not the least doubt bu
that they will be greeted by a larg'
turnout on Wednesday night.
Were we in Mr.. Pedersen's place
we should insist on having TIT
