THE GILMORE CONCERT FIXED.
The Home Club in youth" and 1.-THE WorId''
-"1he St5waway'-stephens VII Re-
yive Observation-Disclosures Juliet.

There is booming season at hand in the
amusement line and both houses will make
the most of it. Commencing next Thurs
day, October 3, the second night Of the
fair, the Home club give YOUTH repeat
ing it on the Sd and 4th, on which dates
1.-The Stowaway" will be done at the
Grand. Monday, October Z, the Home
club do "The World" and close their sea-
son; the same night Margaret Mather opens
at the Grand, and runs Tuesday and
Wednesday against the Stephens opera
company at the theatre. All in all, rare
bill, and one that the fair and conference
folk cannot fail to be satisfied with.
The Home clue are spending more
money on "YoIth" than on anything
since the Bankers Daughter" and it
will take an immense season to pull them
through. Special scenery is being built,
soldiers, Afghans and convict suits are
being made, and the orchestra will be en-
larged for the military music. The sol
dierS, with all the accOutrementS of war
used in the piece, are furnished through
courtesy of Col. BlOunt, commandant at
Fort Douglas, and the marching, counter
marching and drilling will form brilliant
adjunct to the drama Fuller particulars ap-
pear elsewhere.
1.-THE Stowaway," a sensation which has
been examining the California theatre of
late, comes TO the Grand next Friday and
Saturday. 1t is deliberately billed about
town, and as two of the artists in the COM
pany are advertised as professional safe
burglars reformed society will doubtless
turn out in force to welcome the attraction.
Gilmore's band concerts are assured facts
for the tabernacle The local details are
in the hands of Bishop H. B. ClawsOn,
which means the affair will be capably
handled and pushed. The probable dates
are October 90 and 80. Professor Rad
cliffe has been booked for a solo,
and Evan Stephens issues a call in
to-day's HERALD for all the notable chorus
who took part in the JOhnstown
benefit concert to assemble to-merrow even
ing at the tabernacle to organize for the
mammoth event We trust our singers will
rally with will, and that Prof. Gilmore
will be able to say that his Salt Lake chorus
discounted any other which assembled
under his baton in the west.
Martha" with its inimitable cast and
chorus, will be revived Wednesday and
Thursday, October and 9, for the delecta-
ton of fair and conference visitors, but we
doubt that the news will create as much
pleasure to townsfOlk as to country people.
Martha was one of Stephens biggest
successes, and with his great chorus. and
such singers as Misses Thomas and Dean,
Messrs. Piper, Goddard, Young aud Ar
thur, it will go again with immense favor.
A Cleveland critic thus speaks of Mar
garet Mather in the role Of Juliet. If hon
est and conscientious work on the stage
for six years, coupled with genius that is
unmistakable, deserves success, Miss Mar
garet Mather should to-day rank among
Americas foremost opponents of the legiti-
mate drama. Miss Mather has had diff
cult road to travel for a couple of seasons.
Many theater-goe considered her pre-
sumptious to start at the top round of the
dramatic ladder instead Of beginning at the
bottom, but one by one the grumblers and
fault finders fell in liue, and now it is gen
orally conceded even by the most chronic
If fault finders that Miss Mather was dia-
mond in the rough at first the polishing
process was applied season after season,
crudities one by one were eXtradicted
