Dedication Of the Opera House-W heat
Electric Lights-Amusements Etc.
Last Saturday night our opera house re-
ceived its real dedication, and it was at the
hands OF Gilmore and his famous band. All
week the people Of Brigham had been talk
ing about Gilmore's band, and when the
night came the house was crowded, great
many people standing outside in the cold to
catch few strains Of music now and then.
Owing to matinee in your city, Gilmore
and band did not arrive here until within
few minutes of s, hence the curtain was
late in going up. When the curtain did roll
up, the house greeted Mr.. Gilmore with a
burst of applause. Before the first piece,
the overture "Rienzi," was finished the
people in the house were convinced that he
was musician Of the first order. Mr.. Lee
febre's solo on the saXophone was well re-
ceiyed by the house. and he had TO respond
TO an encore. By this time the people were
greatly enthused with the music and when
the band had played the intermezzo sin
fonico from ''CaValleria Rusticanan they
had to respond again before the people
would be quiet The Misses Schneeloch
took the house by storm, and when Miss
Emile later on sang her solo, she had TO
respond twice before the audience would
| let her go. Some of those present
stated that Mr.. O'Mahony could
! go below the floor with his
voice, it was so powerful Although most
of the people could not understand Clodio's
words. they liked his singing. Both gentle
men had to respond to encores. The young
ladies present stated that the only fault to
be found with the above gentlemen was
they were not as handsome looking as their
voices were in singing. The piece in the
Mill.n as well as the "National Anthem, -
''Sherman's March Through Georgia. and
the Southern Jollifcation, p" took the house
by storm. At the close of the concert the
! people were so entranced with the music
they hated to leave their seats.
In conversation with your correspondent,
Mr.. Gilmore stated he was very well
pleased as well as surprised at his recep.
tion at Brigham. He was sorry he would
have TO leave Brigham out of his next
years trip, as owing 10 the heavy expense
ne would only perform in the large towns,
Ogden and Salt Lake. He complimerted
the people of Brigham on the nice opera
house they had, and stated that its
acoustic properties were very good
He was very grateful to The HERALD for
its kind ana just treatment towards his
band as well as himself. Taken in all, the
concert was a success, and everything
went Q X except the gas, which caused
some annoyance by not giving irst-class
light. However, it is promised to be bet
ter in the future.
Quite number Of people from Logan and
other places took in Gilmore's concert.
Another millinery establishment will be
opened by Mrs. M. Il. Nelson and Garlic
Madsen this week.

"Lynwood, or the Broken Vow, in Logan

Convict's Daughter" which it expects to
present next week.
Every day last week there was a con-
