DRAMATIC And LYRIC
The Messenger Went to a Big
House Last Night.
BILLS OF THE COMING WEEK
Booth and Barrett-A Home Club Anniver.
sary-Si Plunkard-The Concert
Notes.

With bowls of laughter and shouts of ap-
plause, "a Messenger from Jarvis Section"
went before the regulation crowded house
that can always be relied on for the Satur-
day night of conference week. The piece
had greatly improved by its one presenta
ton, and it went very easily and smoothly
throughout, Mr. Young, who has so ire
mendous load on his shoulders, showing
the most marked Improvement. Spencer's
character delineation again caught the
house immensely, despicable as his part is,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert were, Of course,
good as before The piece goes again to-
morrow night and is good for third big
house.
In the audience last evening was Mr..
Tyler, manager Of the Little Tycoon com
pany. He said IN the box Office that the
performance was an astonisher to him; he
had seen hundreds Of amateur perform
ances, but never one half so good as this;
as for Spencer's part, he said it was simply
absurd to class II as amateur acting at all
The next attraction to appear at the Salt
Lake theater, following the present en-
gagement of the Home Dramatic club, will
be Mr.. j. c. Lewis, a young and talented
Yankee character comedian, supported by a
carefully selected cast, in the Yankee COM
edy entitled Isl Plunkard' Thursday eve
nlng, April 9. The scene of this play, IN
like all others of similar character, is not
LAID in the New England states but in the
western part of Pennsylvania and ST
Plunkard is farmer who both plants and
peddles Yankee notions and supplies the
down east element The story is the Gus
tonary one OF maiden whose father falls
into the power OF designing villain, who
offers herself as sacrifice and who is saved
by the cuteness of the yankee peddler. In
cldental to the comedy, many specialties
are introduced, and full-rigged threshing
machine at work on the stage is one of the
mechan ical effects. The principal comedy
clement furnished by Mr.. Lewis as 81,
MIR. Milligan as Felix Smart. Miss Rice as
Eliza Simplins and Mr.. Jackson as Scrub
by Fewclothes, q village youth.
