strictures ON Sophie Erre.

Western critics have sometimes been
accused of being outspoken, but the fol
lowing notice of a lady very popular in
this city, clipped from the Dramatic
Times, will put the sagebrush literatii 10
the blush
When Miss Sophie Eyre, who, as Mrs.
Lonsdale, was quite distinguished
amateur III England, first went on the
professional stage, the London critS, to
a man, went wild over her beauty, and
boldly challenged comparison with Mrs.
Langtry, then in the zenith of her social
fame. Any one who saw her last week
in Moths can easily understand the
challenge. Any one who saw her this
week as Mrs. Winthrop, must wonder
at the transformation. 1t cannot have
lain altogether in the dresses-which
frankly, were luridly hideous and un-
becoming. Indeed, if she will take the
advice of a very honest admirer. She
will take that black velvet out to the
Farallones and sink it thousand
fathoms deep before she ever risks an
appearance in mantua-making New
York. The blue velvet brocade is the
only one she can venture on in that
critical city. The difference this week
lays partly in her lack of color and
partly in the arrangement of her hair;
but mostly IN the set of weird. uncanny
gowns in which she encased the fash
lonable Mrs. Winthrop. Miss Sophie
Eyre has beautifully moulded throat
and chin, pair of black eyes that fash
and soften at her viii, and a smile that
people watch for, it is so rare. But she
needs dress-maker to become pro-
fesSional beauty.

Temperance Lecture.

In consequence of the heavy expense
attached to the meetings of the
Blue Ribbon movement, at the Salt
Lake Theatre, the committee yesterday
morning decided to change the place OF
meeting to the NJ. Z. Church, Third
South street, where. according to an
nouncement, Rev. T. w. Glover last
night gave a lecture on the subject OF
Local Option" Previous to giving the
lecture he stated that although they
met in that church the same unsectarian
principle would characterize all the
future meetings as in the past, and he
hoped that all classes would still lend
their aid to the movement. Several
gospel hymns" were sung and Mr..
Grover spoke strongly in favor of the
absolute prohibition of the liquor traffic
as the only means of preventing intern
perance with all its attendant evils, and
went to show that the best means of at
tanning it was for the States to give To-
calitieS the option wherever they
defired so doing. To-day a meeting for
children win be held at o'clock, and
for adults at 7.30, both i'll the NJ. E..
Church. Subject in the evening: "For
His Sake"

Mr.. Gunter, the author, is said to have
gone to California for more funds.
Kate Claxton last week attempted to
play A Child.of the State, in Brooklyn.
She was, however, enjoined through
the courts by Tim Hardie, one of the
owners and adaptors of the piece.
The proofreading OF the programmes
at the Opera House is becoming some
thing appalling; the latest was the an
nouncement on Friday evenings bill
that miss Eytinge would present on
Saturday, Led Estray."
The Home Dramatic Club has re-
ceived an offer of any of the Madison
Square Company pieces. 1t is probable
that they may reappear in one of these
successful plays, or in some other, dur
ing the holidays.
Gerster and Campanini have organized
a concert tour, and. viii visit the prin-
cipal cities of the United States. As
they include California in their route,
we shall probably have an opportunity
to hear the great tenor as wei as Ia diva
Gerster.
The Union Square has opened its sea-
son with the Artists Daughter. J. II.
Barnes, the new leading man from Lon
don, made his first appearance in it,
and was well greeted. The hit of the
evening. however, was made by StOd-
dart, who played the villain.

Logan Paul.

This actor, if so we may call him, de
serves credit for one thing, if for no
other-that he has kept tugging away
at race which has been all the way
up hill for him, and that in the course
of years he has moved some few PAGES
at least nearer the top. 1t would be
folly to. state that We think Logan
though a country feeling makes US re-
luctant to say twill ever make last
ing fame upon the stage, but we cheer
fully accord him the praise due him.
OF laboring long and persistently. He
still has his bad memory, we notice; let
him be up never so well in a part, and
ten to one he will hesitate and stammer
at critical moment. This was very
noticeable in Felicia.
