to attract those of the gentler sex. The
big reserve card which Manager Burton is
holding back is the I4yceum company +,
which puts in four nights in August, rem
dering "The Wife," Sweet Lavender
and probably 1.-THE Marquise." The work
of interior improvements goes on in the
meantime.
Douglas White, having demonstrated
with two of the strongest companies in
Observation-Disclosures and Daly's-that kick
ing against the lake is like kicking against
the DEGREES of Fate, has closed his doors
for the remainder of July, and says he will
reopen early in August with an attraction
which he is not prepared to name at pre-
sent. He promises that the Grand will re-
open re-painted, re-decorated and re-
furnished, with some new sets of scenery
added.
Carlotta Patti, the renowned singer, and
sister of Adelina Patti, who appeared once
in Salt Lake, died at her home in Paris
two weeks ago Friday last. She was born
in Florence, Italy, in 1910. Her father and
mother were both operate singers of dis
tinction Carlotta was educated as
bition, however, was to become a vocalist.
She made her debut in New York in grand
concert in 1861. The next year she sang in
opera. Her success on the lyric stage was
marred by lameness resulting from dis
ease of the hip. The late war, which
was disastrous to the theatres, disarranged
her plans for this country and she
went to England, and first sang in London
in April, 1853. She made signal success,
and Queen Victoria declared that "never in
her life had any singer so charmed and
pleased her" Her voice was clear So
prano Of marvellous range and feXibility.
Its compass reached over two OctaVes,
from G below the treble staff to G sharp in
alt. Many musicians have said that Car
Totals voice was equal to, if not superior, to
that of her more famous sister. In 1879
she began tour around the world, and re-
appeared in New York at Chickering hall.
She married Ernest de Munck, a violincel-
list, in 1879. OF late years she has mostly
resided in Paris, where she taught singing.
The members of the Home Dramatic
club, with several other ladi es and gentle
men, spent an evening lately, listening to
the reading of new play which has just
been finished by Mr.. Edwin NJ. Royle. Mr..
Royle, besides his talent as an actor, pos
S9sses decided literary genius; his poem,
Cosmopolitan, has attracted wide attention,
and in his play, which he has called Quick
sands,n he evinceS n scholarly and classic
instinct of a high plane. The work, a
drama laid in Ireland is a passionate, in
tense conception, the main thread of which
is the guilty love of a woman whose huS
band is an epileptic, and the revenge the
husband takes on discovering her faithless-
ness. The play is startling in some of its
originalities, and its language is through
out beautiful. We understand the author
will seek an eastern opening for his effort,
and we trust he may prove successful. In
the hands of accomplished actors, it ought
TO prove drama Of intense power.
The sixteenth and last of the artistic en-
tertainments given by the Ladies' Musical
society during the season took place at
Calder's music hall last evening. The fact
that the Quintette club was on the pro
gramme for two numbers, that Miss An
derson was down for piano selections, Miss
Thomas and Mr.. Piper for ballads and Mr..
Weihe for violin solo was all that was
necessary to draw a heavy attendance,

'What is folly in man, is sin in a
woman" This old saying doesn't seem to
be holding good in the case of the notorious
Jeffreys Lewis and Harry Mainhall. Lewis
was taken up by Booth and Modieska,
given a handsome benefit and placed on
her feet again; Mainhall has ventured back
on the San Francisco stage where he is
nightly scored, and where one paper
refers to him as ''the unnameable." We
note by the way that Lewis has migrated
back TO the scene of her early triumphs-
New York. A late paper says:
''Je1reys Lewis, who once gave promise
Of being one of the most brilliant and
famous actresses on the American stage, is
now on her way to New York from San
Francisco if she has not already arrived
here. Since Jeffreys Lewis was last seen
in the metropolis, few years ago, she
has been travelling a very rough
road. She left her husband, Matt
land, and, becoming enamored of
a second rate actor named Mainhall, scanda-
lized the whole Pacific coast by her reck-
less conduct. Mainhall had deserted his
wife for Jeffreys Lewis, and it was only
natural that he should desert her for some
one else. 1t came all too soon, and he left her
10 starve with the babe that she had borne
him, the i'll starred fruit of sinful union. |
The stories that come from California CON
corning her forlorn condition are pitiable.
1t is even said that she might have died
from want il it had not been for the kindly
Of theatrical people who had
known in her better days, when the whole
land rang with praises of her ability and
as an actress. BY the charity of |
these people, of whom Edwin Booth is the |
most conspicuous contributor, Jeffrey |
Lewis is enabled to come to New York in |
search Of an engagement whereby she may |
earn her livelihood. She will not find the |
task as easy as it was in the old days, for |
new managers have entered the field and a
new generation of play-goers has invaded |
the theatre. Her past glories, however, |
should be potent enough to secure employ |
ment for her. What is to come after that |
rests entirely with herselfn
