I am probably, for l write as Law
man and reserve, wounding unwittingly
many susceptibiiitles, for actors like
other people have their own apprecia-
ton of what they can do. As assign
ing such play would be awkward,
why do not the ladies and gentlemen, :
and others as gifted and worthy that I
have not naMed because [ have not
space, submit their services to Mr..
Palmer or Mr. DAILY, or go outside to
the Herald, and agree to take any part
assigned without question and do their
best with it, ..-sr
worth seeing, and am not quite sure
that there would be any parts PLAYED
better Or with more striking points than
those of the Second Grave Digger and,
ths Player King.
Booth and Barrstt, by the way, have
definitely fixed the dates of their ap-
pearance in Salt Lake. The Both and
Slst of March have been set apart at
their request, and the only regret will
be that they did not make it'fVe nights
ia place two. One world think that
the way our citizens emptied their coins
into Booth Golfers last year, would in
duce him to protract his stay, but per
hePs the two tragedians intend putting
the price so high that they know two
nights will give Qaaatsta,e S,tifcit. 1t is
rumored that 81 will be the tariff, but OF
course nothing authoritative caa be
known so early. The management will
do well now to see that Julius Caesar
forms the bill for one of the nights.
That will undoubtedly be first choice,
and Hamlet second
