mensely popular baritone singer, with
the charming Fanny Rice, the irresist-
lble Drew, the statuesque Alice Vim
cent, the ponderous Greensfelder, and
his troop of pretty girls, is on his way
back to us again, and will give US the
last New York and London novelty,
D 1rothy, on Tuesday evening next. OF
the work Cartoons great company
performs, of the melody, harmony and
merriment they make, no one needs
any description, because every one
numbers them all among his familiar
acquaintance. The only one new in
the company is Miss Tellula Evans,
whom we will be cortent to take
on trust, because we know Carle-
ton for so consummate an artist
that he would select no one to put
alongside himself and his other princi
pals who was not up to their full ar
tistic stature. Knowing the company
so well, therefore, it will only be neces-
sary to take a glance at Dorothy, the
work in which they will make their bow.
Dorothy is the work of Alfred Collier
and B. c. Stephenson, and is described
as purely English and pastoral opera.
1t as had run in London equal to the
Gilbert and Sullivan luns. and its COM
puser. Mr.. Collier. who used to be
merely pianist and conductor, is said
10 have become a composer as rich and
independent as the most fortunate, all
on the strength of his little opera of
Dorothy Mr.. Collier, we believe came
to Salt Lake with the same opera COM
pany in which the famented John How
son and the charming Marie Jansen last
appeared, and conducted the orchestra
at the performances of Patience and
Madam Favart. He was then thought
of as an accomplished musician WITH
strong leanings towards becoming q
composer, but no one looked to see him
mount the ladd er of fame so speed y.
He was fortunate in finding so clever
| co-Worker as Stephenson, and the two
turned out tho work which has
since come to be the reign ng
Londt n success. Dorothy is described by
the San Francisco papers as being q
dainty high class work, full of rich
music. elega1t costumes, and a vein
eenaine bumor distinct from tho horse
play now usually crJwCed in o
"mic operas. 1t Is essentially
English, and its story is said 20
be not only interesting, but rur
and clean throughout. It's safe to say
that the curtain will rise Tuesday even
ing upon one of the most brilliant
emblages seen in the Theatre this
season. The Merry War is the bill
Wednesday night, and Fra Diavo o
uulshes III" engagement Thursday.
The great American farce comedy OF
Oar Boarding House, rendered famous
by Robson & Crane, will be put up for
Washington's Birthday by he Home
Club, matinee and night. That it will
go with a boom there is little doubt, for
It is so long since the club did anything
outside of the serious line, that their
patrons will view with pleasure the
decided change. With Mr.. Wells in
Robso1's part of Professor Gillipod,
with Spencer in Cranes part of Ele-
vator, and with Mr.. Young as Fioretti,
Edith Clawson as Beatrice, Birdie Cum
mings as Betty and Lottie Claridge as
Mrs. ColVllle, a very strong cast IS
secured. In the company will also be
Mr.. White, Mr.. Evans, Mr.. Clawson,
Mr.. Wash Young, Ivy Clawson,
Florence Whitney, Mabel Young and
| others.
The Salt Lake Philharmonic Soc ETY.

Modjeska and Eben plympton are ap
pearing together in Camille in New
York. Nym Crirkle has been to see
them, and in writing of Camille, he
gives US considerably more of the lover
han the lady. He says:
Modjeska, freshened by Plympton,
made her r'entree on Monday night.
Will you permit me to observe that
she had an extra transforming wria kle
or TWO.
Camille! Bless my soul, what is there
left to be said of Camille? The worst
play and the best; the most morbid. the
NEST popular; the most intense, the
| most immoral; the most familiar and
still the most interesting. Type of the
forbidden, it is still the paragon of the
most acceptable. Ethicaily upside
down. it is vet dramatically rooted in
the sympathies of tie world.
Modjeska is an ivory Camille, SUI
! perbly carved. Every inch of Clara
Morris was flesh ana blood. One
shines with Parian lustre, the other
paipitates.
