hot thermometer for three nights and a
matinee, and Laid the thermometer out
every time until yesterday. Then the heat
and an Unfortunate error in The HERALD,
TO the effect that the matinee had been
cancelled, caused light afternoon gather
ing anu only passable one al night. How
ever, the large audience OF thetirst evening
did not make more noise in manlfesting its
approval than last nights sssenblage.
There were. some new features introduced,
notably, by Glover and Sweatman, and the
baritone's rendering of 1.-The Lovers Quar-
rel'' took immensely.
"How does a girl learn the steps OF 8
dance like Glovers, and how did she start
out as dancero'
This was the question we asked OF Mr..
Russell, the owner, proprietor, originator,
censor and eagle like watcher Of the show.
''She taught herself every step" was the
answer; "of course she picked it up by
watching closely. She is only nineteen
now you know, and when she was very
young she went out with Mapleson's COM
pany, where she had a chance to watch
Cavallazzi and all the great Italian ballet
dancers. She next went out with DiXey-
she is his sister-inla by the way-aud
she rapidly went to the lead II the skirt
line. distancing the English dancers VINO
hrst brought over the skirt dance idea !;
they dressed ii down TO the heels though
with ACCORDION skirts-Snd the grace of
thelfounces. frills and multitudinous skirts
was all Glover's idea. She teaches the
other girls their steps, and selects the
music for her own dances"
Mr. Russell has another company out
doing the one night stands: he says he has
TO change his people almost every season,
for the reason that they get lazy after
doing the same thing SO many
times, and frequent changes is the only
way he can keep up the life of the organi-
cation. He maintains a discipline in his
company as strict as any stock company,
and will have no nonsense. Should one OF
his girls incline TO be ''larky'' she would be
promptly replaced by some one from his
other company. He will tolerate nothing
that looks like sighting, and as his COM
pany know his eye is constantly on them,
no one ever sees any relaxation from work
while The City Directory is in progress.
The Choral society meets again at the
tabernacle o.morrow evening, when it is
probable something definite Will be known

merce yesterday made request of the

the request is granted Prof. Stephens

plan is to make the Irrigation mem 5ers the
guests of the occasion and to charge the
public uniform rate of 30 cents per Gicke
TO defray actual expenses.

prising citizens of Brigham City have loni
enjoyed the reputation of having as liv
