Gilmore's Concert and Stephens Chorus-A
Black Eye for 0gden-Latest Notes
in the Profession.

Salt Lake literally turned herself loose
on amusement last night; the fair had
good turnout, the theatre was damned to
suffocation, aisles and all, and the opera
house again hung out the S. r. o. legend
on the outer wall youth" went with the
speed only obtained from frequent repre-
sentation, and it will long be remembered
as one of the most notable of all the Home
clubs achievements. The "Stowaway" is
great road card, and though we may de-
cidedly question the propriety which puts
Jail birds-and advertising them as such
on the same boards with ladies and gentle
men of professional standing-we doubt
that we should object if the professionals
don't.
Margaret Mather, the new American
star who is being doomed in the west by Al
Hayman, makes her first appearance in
Salt Lake tomorrow night as Juliet. She
is dollar and half attraction, and as she
has been immensely advertised during the
| last three or four years, she should draw
well i'll Salt Lake. The best eastern cities
say her Juliet is her best performance.
The Martha" sale opens to morrow; the
Stephens people have been rushing rehear-
sails of late, and with their bright cast
comprising the names of Miss Thomas,
Miss Dean, Mr.. Piper, Mr.. Goddard, MIR.
Young and Mr.. Arthur, to say nothing of
the big chorus of sixty voices, there should
be as great a rush as even the last three
nights has seen at the theatre.
1t is said that p. S. Gilmore has done
more to aid and advance general musical
interests than any other leader or manager
who ever drew baton; and in over forty
years of constant public success, including
the gigantic Boston iubilees, a tour through
the old world and annual tours through
this country, he has attained the greatest
popularity of any leader In America, and
the distinction of being the greatest of all
band-masters, at the head of the finest mill
tary and concert band in the world His
whole band, with its renowned solo artists
and many additional features, is soon to be
heard here in one of his series of festivals
celebrating the twentieth anniversary Of
the Boston Jubilee; and it will prove the
greatest musical event in our history
Everywhere Gilmore is greeted with the
greatest of success, and his audiences go
wild with enthusiasm over the excellence
]
dered by this wonderful band. The half OF
the delight of Gilmore concert cannot be
told in advance, and it is no unusual sight
to see handkerchiefs waving, hats thrown
into the air and people standing on seats
giving vent to their enthusiasm over Gil
more programme Salt Lake city will have
the pleasure of listening to this great musi
cal feast October 81 and November l.
Besides the whole band under the personal
| direction of the original p. S. Gilmore, we
shall hear the cannon and anvil features of
! the great Boston jubilee reproduced, a
| grand chorus of $50 voices. and the follow
! ing able and artistic vocalists: Sig Cam
| panini, Signorina DeVere, the Gerster OF
| the present day, with wonderfully sweet
and tiUte-like voice; Miss Clara Poole, the
| celebrated contralto of the American
Opera company; Nine. Blanche Stone
| Barton, soprano, and Miss Jenny Dicker-
son, contralto two of Americas most
charming and talented singers, who have
won the higest encomiums of the press and
esteem of the patrons and lovers of the
! highest order of vocal excellence; Sig.
| DuZensi, an artistic tenor; Sig Bologna,
the Italian baritone; and Mr.. Myron w.
| Whitney, the greatest American operate
and oratorio basso.
The rush Of work the fair and conference
have brought upon US has kept many OF
our singers from appearing at the rehears-
| ais for the great concert Still at the last
meeting nearly two hundred had joined,
and they have entered into the work with
enthusiasm. Gloria" Praise We the
Father" and 1.-The Heavens are Telling"
are under way in fine style. To-day, at
the close of the afternoon services, they
will meet at the tabernacle for about one
hour. Those who have not yet joined
should do so at once, as there will only be
about three weeks more wherein to master
the entire six choruses.
A San Francisco dramatic paper, in its
directory of towns and cities IN the Pacific
coast circuit, has the following OF Utah
