came quite favorite, acting principally at
the old California theater, under Barton |
Hill and John Mccullough. He was lead
ing man at the California theatre from !
1874 to 1879, when that memorable organi- J
cation was at its best He played younger
lovers, to Adelaide Nelson young seconds,
to Edwin Booth young heroes in many
cast which became famous after the old

Tomorrow night in New York the new
play, MEN and Women" will have it's fif-
tieth representation, and Manager Charles
Frohman will make it souvenir occasion.
The Charles Frohman stock company will
now compare with any organization of its
kind in New York. 1t numbers twenty
four players, and is the only stock company
IN New York that is now presenting an
American play. 'Men and Women is by
Messrs Henry G. DeN1ille and David Be
lasco, the authors of 1.-The Wife" and 1.-THE
Charity Ball" and is a play after the same
style as their former work. The piece will
play in New York well into the winter. At
the conclusion of the company's first sea-
son, which has turned out so gratifying
and so highly successful, they will make a
tour OF the principal cities only, and as far
west as California and Oregon, before re-
turning to New York again.
Mr.. F'rohman still directs Gillette's "All
the Comforts of Home' in which Henry
Miller is playing the leading male part :;
that, too, will be out this way before long.
Sardou's new play, which is to be produced
| II Paris, December 10, has also been Sc
cured by Mr.. Frohman, and will be done
next season. 1t is probable that Mr..
Frohman will accompany the sMen and
Women company west in person.

evening, where the baritone is under en-
gagement to sing ten nights in round OF
| opera. He receives $1,000 for the season.
After that he will go on to Guatemala,
where all the war troubles have subsidized,
and where he thinks he has reasonable
chance of securing the management of the
National opera house, which the
country grants subsidy of $4,000
per year. II he secures this, it will be for
next season, and in the meantime ne will
return to Salt Lake for a few months
stay, during which he will probably in
augurate conservatory of music here. The
professor said to a HERALD representative
last evening that number of gentlemen
whose names ne was not at liberty to di
vulge at present, would in all probability
erect music and lecture hall in this city
capable of seating from eight hundred to
thousand, and to be located on Brigham
street not far from the Hotel Templeton. L
they did so he would establish the conserv
atory in conjunction with the hall and re
main here long enough, at least, to opel
both.
Signor Sampobello and wife were bile,
to appear In Provo last evening, but the i'll
ness of the lady prevented the trip.
