to read that we are again to have dear
Old Stoddart, the manly Massen, the
charming Marie Burroughs. the spirit
uelle Annie Russ IL, the gifted Holland
and all the others of that we'll
remembered family of players back
again with us this week. Mr.. Palmer,
as he has done since the time when
Charles R. Thorne and Fanny Moraut
made the metropolis ring with their
genius, still maintains the highest
standing for his company, and no
bright light ever goes out of it but that
there shoots up another lame, equally
luminous. Thus Kelley and Lemoyne
went over to the enemy, but in their
places spring up young Salvini, whose
fame we know by actual contact, and
Mr.. Handysides, whom we only know
by reputation. Ali are given the best
of opportunities in the plays which Mr..
Palmer has selected for the tour,
and a fe AZURE of the Salt Lake
visit will be that we shall see
the leading parts of each OF the four
different plays in the hands OF tour
different sets of actors. Thus, in Jim
the Penman Mr.. Robinson and May
B,ooklyn are the central figures; in
Saints and Sinners Mr.. Stoddart, Miss
Burroughs and Mr.. MasseD; in Part
ners Mr.. SalVini is SAID to overshadoW
the others, and in Heart eff Hearts Mrs.
Phillips and Annie Russell have their
opportunities; Elaine" in which Miss
Russell has won her brightest )aurels.
Is. We regret to say, not TO be done IN
Salt Lake. 1t proved too delicate, lofty
and idealic for the hustllng San Fran
ciscau, and the fear is that It might also
waste its sweetness on our desert air.

The great play of Jim the Psnman
will inaugurate the season here
Wednesday night. tits two years since
this drama made a tremendous hit in
Salt Lake, on its way to New York,
where it had not yet been seen; for
whole season it ran in New York where
its record of success was only second to
the phenomenal one secured by the
Two Orphans. One very interest
ing episode in the history OF Jim
the Penman was its special
performance before the President
and Cabinet of the United States
at the National Theater in Washington,
DC. This performance was given at
the request of the President of the
United states, and its proceeds were de-
voted by Manager A. M. Palmer to the
benefit of the ACTORS Fund of Amer
ica." The semi-official reception &C
corded to the company proved highly
gratifying to the members OF the dra-
matte profession of the United States,
and it was a source OF cougratulatlon
that Manager a. NJ. Palmer had so
especially great and attractive play to
present at such time and before such
an audience. Saints and Sinners, Heart
of Hearts, and Partners, all late New
York successes, will be produced. 1t
will thus be seen that Mr.. Palmer is
we'll equipped for this season here, to
which he looks forward with hopeful
anticipation of the same gratifying sue
cess which has always attended him
wherever his world renowned company
appeared.
The fair and conference season will,
without doubt, BIS booming one at the
theatre, and the Home Dramatic Club
will put forward three OF their strongest
successes of the past year for the delec-
tat1on of their friends from the country.
Storm Beaten will open the season on
Thursday evening, October 4th. the
original idea of beginning on the 30
having been abandoned to allow the
fair clean sweep. There is some talk
of a Shaughrun matinee, as that
play has never yet been seen at an
afternoon performance, but nothing Is
settled as yet. 1t will be done one
night during the season, however, as will
also Sardou's masterpiece, Diplomacy.
Storm Beaten will be repeated on the
banner night of the week, Saturday, the
6 b, Mr.. Wells, Mr.. Spencer, Mr..
Young, Mr.. Taylor, Mr.. White, Mr..
Evans, Mr.. Clawson, Edith Clawson,
Birdie Cummings, Lottie Claridge, Ivy
Clawson and Mabel Young will all have
their old parts.
Coming close on the heels of the
rumor that Salt Lake talent will receive
a send-off through the invitation OF
Spencer and White to Omaha this win

TJumbo, one of those most heavily
in the new Bjou Theatre,
San Francisco, for the Home Dramatic
Club to fill four solid weeks in the Bay
City, with four of their standard selec-
tions-Ike only stipulating that Confu-
sion form one of the number and that |
the Green Lanes. which, strangely |
enough,is new to Frisco, should be held |
in reserve. The offer Is very tempt
ing and a very fatteYing one, but the |
business occupations OF the mem
bers of the club forbid their lending an
ear to it.
