Miss Rose Coghlan, whose portrait ap-
pears above, is native of England, where
she spent the early part of her life. She
came of quite religious family, and was a
beautiful singer. She and her brother
Charles are the only members Of her fam
! lily who have been identified in any way
with the stage Her brother is one Of the
most popular and well-known of English
actors. While spending vacation at his
house, Miss COghlan became possessed with
the idea that she would like to
go on the stage. She first ap-
peared as one Of the witches in
Macbeth" and when the time came
for her solo, she ran from the stage in
paroxysm of fright. Later on, she made
a more successful debut, and being encour-
aged by her successes, Mr.. Lester Wallack
sent special agent 10 England to secure
her, if possible, as leading lady, and finally
succeeded in doing so. Her starring tours
have been most successful, she being a
great society favorite, as well as an able
and magnetic actress. Her new play of
''Jocelyn'' is one of the great successes of
the present season. The first
performance here of Charles F.
Coghlan's play of "Jocelyn' will be an i'm
portant event in our seasons theatrical af-
fairs. The scenery, costumes, furniture in
fact everything used in the play, will be
newand his iorically correct, prepared from
designs made by the author. The costumes
worn by Miss Coghlan are picturesque and
characteristic of the epoch. In the last act
of the play she wears the clothes of her
younger brother while trying to escape
from Anglers. And those who have seen
her say she makes remarkably cookbook
ing boy.
In all probability the coming fall and
winter season will be one of the busiest
ever known in Salt Lakes busy amateur
musical and dramatic circles. Stephens is
not so busy with all his district school en-
gagements that he has foresworn the oper-
attic field, and we hope he will not abandon
that great idea Of a 500-vOiced society; the
Home club have plans laid out for Youth"

faces: then Prof. Krouse, Mr.. Cor
linski, Mr.. Haviland and Mr. Obern-
dorfer are understood TO be quietly
at work with view to producing a round
of operas, and just before Dug White dis
appeared from the local amusement horizon
there was talk of an amateur negro min
strel company TO appear at intervals at the
Grand. Whether the project will be car
ried out by his successor is unknown at
this writing.

One usually arises from reading inter |
views with Emma Abbott, with the feeling |
of rats" Since the death of her husband !
she has been at it again, as the following |
item from the Mirror will show:
Several papers have assailed Emma Alb |
bot because in an interview with a Dramatic |
Mirror reporter the other day. she said, in |
speaking of the present condition of her |
voice: Sorrow seems to have developed |
new tones-to have deepened and strength |
Cned and mellOwed it,"
WhileI am aware that Miss Abbott is
credited with a genius for self advertise
ment, do not think that this passing ref
erence to a matter connected with her re-
cent infection was uttered with the inten-
ton that her assailants ascribo to it.
Miss Abbott stated what she considered
TO be simple fact, without the forethought
that 1t would be misconstrued by un-
scribes, all the way from rude st.
Paul to Chesterfeldian Atlanta.
