over the two attractions he has in hand for
this week, and trimming over with news
items concerning the Silver circuit.
1.-THE Little Tycoon" he said, lis doing a
thousand dollars night business where
ever it plays. 1t opens out here Monday
night, and have no fears as TO what it
will do;
The piece was done in Denver the other
night and the Republican thus speaks of it:
Willard Sponsors clever and melodious
comic opera, The Little Tycoon, received
the marked approval of one of the largest
and most brilliant audiences of the season
at the Tabor Grand last night.
The opera is deserving Of all the praise
it has received in the eastern cities. 1t is
Nflled with bright, pleasing airs and has
RsnOugh Of vim and go to keep an audience
in a continual state of good humOr
Il. E. Graham's General Knickerbocller
is very clever piece of work, with a cap
ital voice and fine stage presence. Mr.. Ora
ham can sing Il topical song better, and
AGnce with quite as much grace as DlXey
and, best of all, without showing any Of the
latter's Coarseness.
Mr. Libbey's Alvin Barry, Wilson's
Rufus Ready, McGovern's Lord Dolphin
ard Jare's Mealeys Teddy are all most
tCmmendable-
.,Ilss Linyaros Violet was vivacious
and well sung. Miss ArnOld's Miss Hurri-
cane and Miss Mamie Cerbis' Dottie Dim
pie were as coed as possible, the latter
doing many little pits of side business
which brought down the house.
The opera is finely mounted and beauti-
fully dressed and is certain of an excellent
week in Denver.

"Our Fritz" J. X Emmett, is the second
attraction, and he opens out Friday even
T,,cr NTbita'c 9th NJ I've.
in this issue-and if there is any one branch
OF the theatCr business he understands
better than another 1t is the advertising
department-tells what may be expected OF
the coming engagement. The IimcS-Dem0-
rtat saws: Before Z o'clock last night every
seat in the Grand opera house was sold,
and before the curtain rose there was no
more standing room to be had. Had
speculation on reserved seats been allowed
the scalpers could have reaped rich har
vest as many who came looking for seats
were willing to pay a very handsome price
for good seats rather than return home
disappointed. AS it was the actual re
ceipts at the ticket office accounted for
2.l97 admissions. The audience, as large
audiences usually are, was good humored,
and it is safe to say that an attraction
very far inferior to j. X. Emmett in Our
8 Fritz would have succeeded in pleasing it.

ALI Hayman, who piloted Held by the
Enemy and The Wife out this way, writes
an interesting letter TO a member of THE
HERALD staff. He says, among other
things: ''You, of course have heard of the
deal accomplished between Billy Florence
(whom we are managing and 10. Jefferson.
They star together next season, and will, I
think, make a stronger team in their line
than Booth and Barrett were in tragedy.
=, of tl,y
coast Among the principal members of
the cast will be: Mrs. John Drew, c. w.
Couldock and John Gilbert (the best in the
world The repertoire will include The
Rivals, Heir at Law and DOmbey and
Son.
The very great successes in New York
this season have been Sweet Lavender at
the Lyceum, and Little Lord Fauntleroy at
the Broadway. Captain Swift is also big
success at the Madison Square, but not so
great financially as the above mentioned.
You were. l think. pleasantly surprised
with the performance of The Vile, but II
can stand no comparison with Sweet
Lavender. The acting Of lie MOyne ana
Dillon Is simply wonderful, while Kelley
and Cayvan are seen in comedy creations Of
"A very original type No seats Of any de
scriptiOn can be had at the Lyceum for two
weeks in advance.

I the coast. viii, I feel positive, be an
other great surprise for you, especially in
Lord Chumley, the second great success of
Belasco and De Mile. know Of no actor
he can be compared with here He is en-
tirely original in all his methods.
Little Lord Fauntleroy will also be
played in Salt Lake, and l leave you TO
Judge of its merit.
The largest and most expensive venture
we have ever undertaken will be the BOs-
tonians in English opera who VIII visit you
in May. The names of the principals ar5
enough to guide you as to ire excellence OF
the organiZation.'
