!. fnxu oal-
planted to London, comes to Salt Lake to-
morrow night. The cast, including Lacy
the tricks, inducing the horses, and all the

Just as 1t was seen in the metropolis. The
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic Nelus. of
London, said of the performance
There is such little tendency TO go wild
ABOUT Yankee shows, dramatic and other, that
am not surprised at the fuss which the enthu-
SlastS have made about THE Still Alarm
Compared with some of the stuff which Uncle
sam has sent US from time TO time, the present
entertainment at the Princess is in It's own
manner almost perfect. The plot OF Mir. Joseph
Arthur drama is novel, its motives are always
diglflco 1t has action. interest and character,
and is well ard closely written In addition to
these useful qualities the production is excep-
tlonally well performed, admirably mounted
and stage managed in way beyond all praise.
The sensation episode With the real fire engine
and real horses, could not be done with greater
snoothness or with better everyday effect
the easy and natural manner in which this
striking scene arises out of and helps forward
in course of the story.
Mr.. Harry Lacy, who acts the part of the
hero is an excellent actor. He is much The
best of the Americans whom have seen lately
and hope he is not little vain. British en-
thusiasm greeted him.

certain round of dialects in the many COM

theft of a valuable bracelet, OF which
crime ''Myles Aroon" is wrongfully accus-
ed, and the major part of the action is fur
nished by his efforts at Standardization,
which are eventually successful Mr..
Seaman will sing the following solgs,
written and composed by himself for this
play: ''You and Love, !" My Maggie
Live, my Love, oh Live,n SThe

always popular '-Peek Boe.n
