BOOTH AND BARRETT's DOUBLE BILL


1t is rarely that one night at the theatre
sees so much enjoyment crowded into it,
as that witnessed last evening. The great
audience which assembled to say farewell
to Booth and Barrett found in the occasion
a memorable one-one that will live as a
red letter night in the history of amuse-
ments in our city. Both ''The FOOLS Re
venge'' and ''Yorick's Love- have been
done here before by the eminent actors who
presented them here last evening, and the
public well knows the thrilling and tense
interest of both, and the magnificent man
ner in which Booth pOrtrays ''Bertuccio''
and Barrett depicts "Yorick" The old
scenes of triumphant enthusiasm which
both plays caused were enacted over again
! last evening. BY commencing at 5 sharp
and dispensing with overtures, both plays
We're done by II o'clock. and immense as
! the bill was, lere was no waiting and not
| the slightest sign of tediousneSs. Booth
received an ovation after the curtain fell
| on his death Scene-One that we hope will
cause him long to have lingering memory
of fOndness for Salt Lake. After his one
marvellous scene where he learns that
it is his own loved daughter whom he has
abducted to become the plaything of the
duke, when he Vainly tries to gain entrance
! to the room where the libertine is forcing
her to preside at banquet in her honor
assuming the caiOleries of the fool while
his heart is burSting-he was called for
tumultously and he had to appear and bow
Again the curtain went up to the roar, and
again the great actor stood bowling to the
plaudits, and it was not till the house called
| him back third time that the curtain was
suffered TO remain down and the pro
gramme to go on.
Barrett's YOrick is a familiar story to
| Salt Lake. As if spurred up to a high ten
sion by the enthusiasm accorded his brother
actor, he played the character with seem
| ingly more nervous and forceful energy
than ever, and the applause that greeted
him was scarcely less heavy than that be-
slowed on Booth. Miss Gale was a most
charming daughter in the first piece, and
her delineation of the erring wife in the
| last was very effective. Few actresses
whom we have seen combine personal beauty
and histrionic talent to so rare a degree as
Miss Gale. Mr.. Hanley made a fine looking
lover in both plays. Mr. Collins was good
Master Haywood; though not all the part is
capable of, and he had besides to contend
with the recollection of Louis James in the
same part. Mr.. Lane was better as Master
Walton than in anything else during the
engagement.

the Fools Revenge" was the invisible
stringed orchestra which played as the in
cideItal music, airs from 'Rigoletto''-the
opera whose ibretto is taken from this
play.
The company left Immediately after the
performance in their special train for San
Francisco. Besides Booth and Barretts
private living car, the train CON
sisted of sleeper, day coach,
! ,,.zl-1 hoo .aln.
and three scenery cars-the latter were not
unloaded here, owing to all the scenery
being made to tit the stage of the new Cali
! fornia theatre and hence too large for that
of the Salt Lake house. 1t is said the cost
of the special from Chicago to San Fran
cisco and return was $1,000, including
everything.
The total receipts here were about $1,000,
as against $4,000 for the same number of
performances last year, one of them being
matinee. 1t is not probable that lower
prices would have drawn more money, but
| had the price been S2-instead of S3-the
engagement.would have been vastly more
popular. The class in Salt Lake who can
afford 50 are very limited, and only the
most decided nOvelty-which Booth and
Barrett were not this year-can bring that
class out in sufficient numbers to I'LL the
lower part of the house.
The company open in San Francisco
Monday night.
THE HOME AINsTEELs.
The box Office opens at the Grand this
