That very remarkable success, "Shenan-
ooah," celebrated its tenth representation
In Salt Lake last evening. The matinee
was fairly well atten6ed-it counted up
$40 at full prices, and the evening house
was again most gratifying one TO the
manager. The eighth, ninth aud tenth per-
formances in Salt Lake did not bring much
less than 1920 into the box office.
The company plays Denver all next week
and then disbands for the season. When 1t
re assemblies in the 1all-for Mr.. Hayman
Will go on running it, just as il it were as
new as Alabama - so sublime is his con-
ndence In its drawing powers-it will be
shorn of several of the people who played
III 1t last night. MIR. Carlyle leaves for
othe pastures; so does Meta Guion; so
does Miss Tyndall 1--WE strongly advise her
to spend one season in a seminary Of voice
training), and so do several of the minor
members. Those standard actors, Mr.. Bar
rows, Mr.. Burbeck and Mr.. HARDWOOD, fill
their old parts. Nanette Comsuock fills
hers of course-"Shenandoah," we think,
would not be complete without her-and
MIR. Hayman realizes Il. With its new per-
sonnet, ''SheEandoahn may drop down on
US next season and pick up the thread of
big business, we do not doubt, Just where
1t was dropped last evening.
The choral society meets tomorrow
evening at the tabernacle. They will have
little reminiscent .'sing," hear the report
OF the board on the recent festival. and then
in all probability adjourn till September.
MIR. Buriev would greatly like to have the
choral wind up with an open air concert at
Garfield, but he fears the pavilion, after the
chorus got upon It, would not accommodate
en- ough Of an audience to count for much.
The report will show the net receipts to
have been a. 700, tho previous estimate Of
5000 having included honorary member
ship tickets and complimenuaries. The bills
are not all in yet, as they were scattered
from Boise to Cheyenne. but the secretary
Of the society estimates that they will run
to &, 200 or 81 800. This cuts down the an
ticipated profits of the society but nothing
can diminish the lustre they gained by
their great musical achievement. To our
mind the attractions of the event rank in
chorus; third, Thursby.
"The Twelve Temptations" since il was
here last has undergone so many changes
in the line of trick, mechanical and scenic
transformations, ballets, specialties,
marches, costumes and music, that it prac-
tically makes il new piece. The spe-
cialties, of which there is quantity as well
as variety, were specially imported for
this season. while the ballet corps OF forty
dancers comprises the pick OF London AL
hambra forces, which are led by premieres
who have famous regulations abroad
Six new ballets will be given, namely,
"1'he Little Lord Fauntleroys," The
Policemen ana the F'lirts," Riding on
Grandps's Shoulder" The Partisan
Belles,'' and the great ballet Of Terra
Gotta" with live cockatoos, and 1.-The
Dance of All Nations" which will be fol-
lowed by the grandest march pageant ever
arranged, called 1.-THE National March OF
the Union"
This introduces the forty-two states, led
by Columbia and passing in review of the
nations of the world.
Representatives of the company have
been in this city over two weeks giving at
tention to the opening of the second edition
of The Twelve Temptations" and several
Europe expressly for this produc-
ton. In the new scenery, by Ho-
per Emens. the scenic effects and
richness AID variety of costumes, it Is
said, will compare fayorably with anything
seen here. In the action on the stage, bal
let will succeed ballet with constantly in
creasing orilliaEcy, until the transforma
ton is reached. There will be marches
Innumeraole and attractive variations by
some of the cleyerest OF speciality perform
ers.
Mr.. Barnes Of New York made many
friends among local theater goers when
presented in this city by the Frank w.
Sanger Broadway Theatre company last
season, and he renewed former acQuaint-
snceship with the many who had read OF
his adventures abroad as narrated by Mr..
Archiba Clavering Gunter IN his clever
story. To those VINO had previously READ
the work, Barnes or New York on the
stage was no disappointment In fact they
found that interesting gentleman even
more AmericaniZed and hence all the more
pleasing. the company, too, that MIR.
Sanger brought with him Tor the presen-
tation was Of exceptional merit, many Of
his members making distinct individual
hits in their respective characterizations.
The scenic display was all that could be de-
sired, especially interesting the lovers of
STAGE realism. The railroad scene
introduced train OF cars which
passed before the audience. suggesting
very effectively the journey of Barnes and
Enid AnstruLher as described in the novel.
The company has had but two changes in
its cast since ii was last seen here. James
Neil is now the MIR. Barnes of New YORK,
aud May Wheeler the Mariana Paoli. Sher-
idan Block, as Danella, Effie Germon, as
Lady Chastris, Emma Field, as Enid Ans
struther, Annie Baacke. as Maud Char
iris, the incorrlgible youngster. and Horace
Lewis, as the old Corslcan hater, Tomasso
Monaldi. will appear In tier original Gre
atoms, and it would be difficult 10 better
the selections in each instance. Barnes Of
New York comes for the latter half of the
week current, beginning Thur sday night,
June IS, and including Saturday matinee,
and he will be made 70 feel that he is a vel
come visitor.
Miss Jenreys LEWIS will head the "Mr.
Potter of Texas company which Manager
Frank w. Sanger will send on tour of the
more important cities of the country next
season. Miss Lewis has few if any equals
in certain roles and she has been selected
for her special fitness TO the requirements
of the part Of Lady Annerly, widow
whose life has been warped out of its ma
tural channel by the deathbed confession
of her father who had committed theft in
early manhood, and who had never had the
moral courage to right the wrong done.
Lady Annerley attempts to carry out this
tardy Justice, but she falls in love with the
son of the man whom her father wronged,
and like her father, she hasn't the strength
of character sufficient to sacrifice herself
