and the result has been that two of the
brightest works ever produced IN light
opera have been added to the
extensive repertoire OF the company,
and will be heard here for the first time.
''Suzette,n one of the novelties, is the
work of Oscar Friel, of New York, and it
has been great success throughout the
country. Mare Stone, in the title role, is
called very charming, and is ably seconded
by the lovely Jessie Bartlett Davis, who
has the part of the Marchioness. w. H.
Macdonald and Edwin w. Hoff appear,
and the capital come dian, rockingham, is
also in the cast. NikiSh, the conductor of
the Boston symphony orchestra, says OF the
latest success, ''Don QuiXote:n My only
regret is cannot hear 1t many times more"
''Don Quixote' was pro duced by the Bos-
tonians at the Boston theatre in November
| last before an audience Of over four thou
sand, and every vocal number Sixteen in
ALI was encored. The opera was called by
all the musical critics of Boston not only
the besG American opera yet composed, but
ranks with the best of the Sullivan operas,
and the delightful orchestration was es-
pecially praised.
Barnabee will also be seen in his famous
impersonation of the Pasha in ''Fatinitza"
and his very clever performance OF Lord
Allcashin FRA Diavolo."

Next week for two evenings at the Salt
Lake theatre our theatre goers will have an
opportunity of seeing that most popular
and talented of all young comedians, Mr.
| Nat Y. Goodwin, who will appear IN his
| latest and greatest success, "a Gold Mine -
From all accounts, it would seem that Mr..
Goodwin has never done anything more
credilhble than his work in this play.
| Several OF the scenes of quiet, tender and
pathetic order as given by Mr.. Goodwin
! in the comedy are said to be touching bits
of acting, very much out of the line in
I which we have been accustomed TO see Nat
Goodwin. The recollection OF Goodwin in
Hobbies alone will insure him big wei

coming OF the best road companies, and
draws equally as heavy patronage. The
production of Held BY the Enemy by the
former organization Friday evening next
will without any doubt cause the old-time

a number of years ago and though it made
"a great hit, it was not seen by the Usual
