used to rank as one OF Salt Lakes prime
favorites, is coming back to US this
week. 10 will be almost novelty to
he present critical generation in Salt
Lake, and how he Will pass under their
keen scrutiny we cannot say. By the
fathers and mothers of this generation,
however, he has been talked of sufi
GENTLY to ensure him big reception
and a warm welcome on his first ap-
pearance. AS for the rest-he must
stand or fall by the strength of his
talents. A ST. Louis paper says of him:
]. S. Murphy, who is an old favorite
here, had big house last night. 1t was
his 6rst appearance here In two years,
Int his former audience had not for
gotten him during his absence, and the
greeting given him must have made
| him feel that he has numerous warn
friends in st. Louis. The play was
Kerry Cow, with Mr.. Murphy as Dan
O'Hara, q jovial, good natured, quick
witted and intrepid Irish lad, who gets
into and out of great deal OF trouble
and is finally rewarded at the close OF
the play with the hand and heart OF the
girl he loves. 1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Murphy played the part admirably
and had the audience either laughing
or applauding the whole time. He
sang believe me when all these en-
dearing Young charms" and Nellie
Aroon" sweetly, and then gave comic
song effectively for an encore. He was
well supported by his company and the
play was put on with new and beauti-
full scenery.
Mr.. Michael Leavitt, as they used to
say of the Jibeannanosy, is "up" again,
and his attractions may be looked for
with greater frequency than for some
time past This European Speciality
Company, a big variety troupe COM
bining the usual puzzling, ventrllo-
ouistic song and dance and variety ALA

week on its eastern way.

Mr.. Thomas Ryan, the eminent clar-
ionettist, celloist and the director and
founder of the celebrated Mendelss hn
Ouintette club, has addressed note to
the HERALD informing US that his COM
nany will be out this way in the spring.
| This is welcome intelligence, as all vii
agree who remember the previous visit
of the club, but 1t would have been just
as Welcsme without the fling at the
ouintette club which recently gave an
ENJOYABLE concert at the Opera House
in this city. So far as We know, no
effort whatever, was made to confuse
the public mind as to the identity
of the two organizations. Mr.. Ryan's
letter is as follows:
Dear Sir: A set OF musicians, newly
banded together, has just started out
from New York City. calling them.
selves the Boston Quintette Club.
adding as information, that the club is
now composed Of John Rhodes, Mende,
BIumenberg and others.
Their plan is evidently to work upon
the Well-earned reputation OF the Men
delsaohn Quintette Club of Boston
which is commonly, in the west, calico
the Boston Quintette Club" and
thereby misleading the public.
The Mendelssohn Quintette Club Of
Ro,ton is composed of the following
artists: ;.
Herr Wilhelm Ohliger. solo violir
and concert master; Mr.. Manassas
Adler. solo violin; Mr.. Thomas Ryan
solo clarionette and viola; Herr FRITZ
schl achter, viola and violincello; Her
Anton Hekking, solo violincellist to his
Majesty the King of Holland, and Miss
Alice RYAN, prima donna soprano.
