Mr.. Hoyt is q very young man, with
an air of life and hustle about his talk,
walk and manner, just what one would
expect to see in the author OF such

are clean, they amuse, and they pay.

with the, commonplace triyislities OF

When The Gypsy Baron was exciting
all the fashionable circles of New York
with its lovely Strauss music and witty
dialogue, the whole country expressed
desire to see and hear the opera.
Salt Lakers will have an opportunity
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
FEBRUARY and 8, at the Theatre. as
Manager Conried and his excellent
company, now producing the attrac-
ton, are en- route here for the Pacific
Coast. 1t is said TO be among the
brightest and best of the beautiful
operas ever written by Strauss, and 1T
has everywhere been a strong success.
Jacques Kruger is a strong feature OF
the company.
Among the other attractions of the
week are the Heine concert in the
Fourteenth Ward tomorrow night
probably the last to be given by the
blind artist-and the Lindsay benefit,
postponed till thu 10th.
1t appears that the preparations for
the Mascot have come to standstill,
for rather an unexpected reason. The
Careless Opera Company had made
very considerable Roadway with the
piece, the greater part of the chorus
work had been mastered, asd the prln-
cipals were hard at work on their parts.
when the news came from San Fran
cisco, that the costumes which the com.
pany expected to hire for the occasion,
could not be altered. This meant
chorus dressed decoiette to degree that
would have startled even John McCauli,
and therefore there was a weeks heavy
run on costumes alone, the chorus
couldn't see it, and the idea had to be
reluctantly relinquished, at leaet
for the present. Admirers of
the popular opera company will
hope that this little set back may
not prove an extinguisher to their eff
forts.
In the meantime, the holiday, Wash
ington's Birthday, which the opera
company had secured, will be billed by
the Home Dramatic Club who will rem
der Robson and Cranes Our Boarding
House, for matinee and night.
In another column will be found the
programme OF the entertainment to b.
given in aid of the Orphans Home and
Day Nursery at the Theatre, on Wednes-
day next. The programme is q novel
one, which, in connection with the
worthy object for which it is to be given,
is sure to attract large audience. The
entertainment will be followed by ball
and supper.
ANOTHER VERY large audience filed
the Theatre last evening On the second
appearance of the Redmund Barry
Company. The plav of Hermiuie. from
the pen of Mr.. Redmund, is very
clever one, while not an extremely great
one. As in Rene it affords Mr. Red
mund an opportunity which he makes
considerable of Enough his efforts are
not free from ranting), and as in Rene
it affords Mrs. Barry an opportunity to
which she Is not equal. The support
was respectable. Mr.. Fairbanks Irish
man being probably the best feature.
Miss Sprague suggested tie amateur
more than anything else. The troupe

gagement which, curiously enough,
is much more prosperous than many
which have been experienced by at
fractions which have been stronger.
