Salt Lake for the next week. Nine
performances crowded into six days i!
not bad average for Salt Lake, bu
that is what we are gong to enjoy
between this and Sunday next. The
bill of fare will be as follows:
Monday and Tuesday nights the bal
opens at the Theatre with the lively
l. zzie Evans in Fogg's Ferry and Oul
Angel. The fame of this little soubrette
has preceded her and she will doubtless
do a good business.
Wednesday, Decoration Day, will be
the banner amusement day of the week
and on that occasion both houses fling
their doors open to the public. Oddly
enough neither one announces ma
tinee, whether through oversight or by
mutual agreement does not APPEAR.
Perhaps they fear the rain which in
variable drenches the procession on
Memorial Day. With good weather
there is no doubt of the holiday being
a great matinee day. AT the Theatre
the famous DockStader. with our own
and only Billy Rice and thirty
artists, all fresh from Dockstader' s
New York Theatre, makes his
long expected visit to this city. The
top notch of minstrelsv is what this
company represent, and the fact that
they boldly advertise that" Dockstaders'
Minstrels do not parade is an evidence
that they are not afraid to stand on
their merits alone. They play two
nights.
at the Opera House will be seen the
well-known comedian Farron, in A
Soap Bubble, which is now SO plenti-
ously billed about town. Farron gained
a good deal of popularity throughout
the country when he toured with Biker,
and heis still well remember in this
city. He plays a three nights engage

Friday and Saturday, that great team
Evans q Roey, reproduce their Parlor
Match at the Theatre. Hoey's Tramp
is still one of the things Salt Lake can
not think of without roaring, and that
team too will be warmly welcomed.

There was a full Bohemian Girl

Theatre last evening, several members
of the press and other invited guests
being in attendance. There wers one
or two absentees from the cast. but the
great chorus and the principals present
were sufficient to tell what fine
progress IS being made. There
is every promise that the Be-
hemian Gil will create a sensation

the representation, and the spec
tacle of that number dressed as
oypsies, soldiers, peasants and MOBILES,
will be sight well worth the witness
ing. The expense OF cCstuming princi-
pals and chorus together can not be less
than $1,000, and here is told the secret
of the impulse that holds this remarka-
BILE body of singers together. If a
thousand dollar item for expenses were
to be put into the general expence
bill of the production, it can
be seen that no business the
opera could do would pull
it out even, so every singer resolved
to furnish his or her costumes person.

causes them to undertake this pro-
