"AROUND THE WORLD"

Last night was great one at the theatre.
Close upon thousand dollars were poured
into the Golfers of the box Office for the
privilege of seeing a dazzling ballet of
eight Amtiope beauties sandWicheG in for
one march between a conglomeration of
hair breadth escapes and Sioux Indians
with Salt Lake faces. Time was when
Jules Verne's interesting story-and what
a lucky coincidence for the theatre, by the
way, it was that that HERALD Erdmin er
cable describing how Verne came to write
the story came Ger the wires the very day
the show turned up in Salt Lake-time
we say, when this story well mounted and
well &C ted went with enthusiasm to down
stairs and upstairs alike. In the hands of
road company like Jennings, the enthus-
iasm is confined to the galleries. and how
they did let it loose from its confnements
last evening! What did it matter to them
that the long list Of drcmdtis persOndG
was made up of the same half
dozen people. and that doubles,
trebles and quadruples were as much
matter of course as the rising of the cur
tain. What cared they that the same
husky voiced individual who took the
brave Hindostanee in one act appeared as
the Sioux chief in the next! They were
equally thrilled and equally vociferous
whether he was defying the Brahmin priest
or eXclaiming to the Union Pacific traveller,
(NIr Cumming might be pardoned for re
signing if he saw that train) Pale face,
the heart Of Deuteronomy knows no fear!"
or something that sounded like it. Every
thing went with the galleries, even the two
shouting leading ladies, for saving whom
F0gg deserved to have lost his bet, and as for
the yells that broke loose when the Amer
lean made the usual allusion to the flag,
the eagle and kindred topics-even
Judge Anderson might have be-
lieved there was a lurking sense of
patriotism in Salt Lake had he been pre-
sent to behold it. The scenery and effects
were good, but that was all. Mr.. Fleming
had a good conception of Fogg but STUN
bled at 1t frequently. The Passe PartOut
was played as a Ftrenchman, with the
purest Virginia city accent we erlistened
to: as far as acting goes the whole thing
was better done here when Herne played
it and Mark Wilton did the Frenchman TO
Harry Taglor's detective. AS for the ladies
and the ballet, their funniness was only
excelIed by the electric unanlmity with
which the whole band of Indians fell be-
fore the murderous fire of two pistol shots |
But the whole thing is not without a Ger
tain interest from its variety and constantly |
changing scenes, and we do not doubt of its |
pulling another good upstairs audience this |
evening.
RANKIN AND MOBILES.
Mckee Rankin appears at the theatre
tomorrow and Friday evenings and
MOBILES does the Phoenix Saturday.
1.-THE HENRIETTA"
Mr. Lee Townsend, advance manager for
Stuart Robson, landed in town Monday,
spent one short day, and pushed on to Den
yer to complete arrangements there for
Robson's appearance. In the day he spent
here Mr. Townsend closed terms with the
Salt Lake theatre, and the long looked-for
and long advertised Henrietta is to be
seen at the theatre next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday nights.
Mr. Tow nsend was caught by HERALD
reporter Just as he was on the fly out of
town, and asked what prices would be
charged for the Robson engagement. "a
dollar-and- a-half, decidedly" was his an
swer MIR. Robson never plays for less
under any circumstances-and why should
he! with play conceded to be better than
anything Howard has ever done-and /
don't except Shenandoah or the ''Bank-
ers Daughter'-and with his own personal
popularity he Grams his houses everywhere,
and [ have no fears as to the result here"
The sale commences Saturday.
