Frank Mayo, better known as Davy
Crockett, comes back to the Salt Lake
theatre tomorrow night, and familiar
though his plays are, and brief though the
time since he visited us last, he is sure of
a big and a warm reception. In his line,
Mavo stands in the esteem of the American
public where Jefferson does in his, and
where Barrett does in his, and where the
lamented Raymond stood in his. His
Crockett" is a distinctive creation, and
the years it has lived and fourished shows
the strong hold it has taken on the public.
The strong play of 'Nordecll," which ex
hibits Mayo in a totally different light, will
be repeated during this engagement.
Carmencita, the feature of "Antiope,"
which comes to the Grand this week, has
driven everybody who has seen her wild
with admiration for her sinuous grace.
well-known writer for a New York daily
thug enthuses over her: "Carmencita
possesses the most delightful Timber spine
that have ever seen exercised.
The bills call this midnight passion
flower the The Pearl of Seville It's
weak metaphor. She's veritable serpent
of rampant coils, iuctuant as smoke, elu
sive as mercury, beautiful as a lonely star.
The scintillant smiles of Spanish sky,
the smooth dream of a mandolin, the click
crack of the castanets, go ripping through
her fierce young form. Lim!tless bliss
dilates in her deep eyes, her crismson
mouth melts MOSTLY into a gorgeous smile,
and she ends it all with a sublime wriggle.
Mercy on US, what wriggle is this one
of Carmencita's! She only takes up about
three minutes of "AntiUpen at NibloS, but
hot MIN iG w
in fact it is the history of a human lifetime.
Poetry, plastic art and music are fusedinto
those wriggles. They begin 9t the girdle
and SILVER upwards, vanishing at the
finger tips, and then winging invisibly on
to the clouds, so presume. We have had
the idyl of the heel and toe to perfection
hitherto, but it has required Carmencita to
supply the overwhelming torsal writhe.
She is a supreme beauty. The romances
of Seville and Cadiz have never breathed
of more divine visions than she supplies,
and the maddening mist of the mantilla
has never screened a fairer countenance.
Pink as roses is her flesh, black as the
raven is her hair, and her eyes are eclipsed
suns, radiant as monday and the color OF
midnight.
She dances principally with her arms,
shoulders and neck. She filings herself
blackboard from her waist like a RATHER
about to strike, Kisses strangely, twists lati-
tudtnally, spirates like a whip lash, and
rea8hes a Spasmodic climax with her hands
on her undulate hips, her glorious head laid
back defantly, and her bust jutting bravely
to the front.
Tried by the warm compliments of Mr..
Gilmore, Mr.. Whitney and Nine. Barton,
all of whom expressed their surprise that
so excellent a body of singers should
reside in the same city, and only come to-
gether at very rare and uncertain periods,
the Gilmore concert chorus has taken
active steps to put the body on permanent
footing. AT the last performance of the
festival, canvass of 1.-THE 400" was made
and universal sentiment was found in
favor of organizing a society and asking
Mr.. Stephens to take the leadership of it.
The one main thing to be arranged was
suitable hall for the accommodation of so
large an association, and a committee
of gentlemen was appointed to ascertain
whether the Assembly Hall could not be
procured at least for next Thursday night
to effect permanent organization. The
results will be awaited with interest and
the chorus is requested to watch The
HERALD for further announcements.
II Gilmore's notable visit has no other
effect than this, we shall all feel we are his
debtors.
Probably no similar event ever drew so
many people to Salt Lake from distant
points as the Gilmore festivals. Idahoans
from the extreme grizzly bear boundaries
were encountered on all hands, and people
from Butte, Helena, Anaconda, and even
Portland, Cheyenne and Denver were not
lacking. Salt Lake is one of the best
advqfnsel cities in the country, and events
lilkef Gilmore's visit may be relied on to
bring in the clans from all quarters of the
west, if the events are only seasonably
doomed.
