Corinne is one of the few noted people
who have been seen almost everywhere else
IN America but never yet in Salt Lake. She
is termed 1.-THE little dancing raw of sun
light" She is said to be only seventeen
now, but she acquired name and fame as
child actress, which is the reason she
seems to have been so long before the pub

which has been the craze of London for

time in America by Corinne at a Broad

hbretto was thoroughly revised, adapted
and arranged by Mrs Jennie Kimball. who
has likewise received congratulations and

whose name has been associated with lead
ing spectacular enterprises. The opera
received its initial production in the
city of Philadelphia, the past summer.
where Its great success was so quickly es
tablished that after months run in that
city it was transferred TO Palmer's theatre
New York, and made as distinct success
as did 'Erminie'' Glover" and other
familiar works which have served to afford
amusement to thousands of lovers
OF comic opera. The entire New
York press, with but one or two excep-
lions, endorsed all the good things said of
it by the Philadelphia critics, which is a
circumstance worth recording, as this was
the first time that New York ever conde-
scended to credit the criticism of a new
production which had its origin and con
ception in the Quaker City, and to the
initiated this was the highest compliment
which the Metropolis could possibly
render. Everything in the new work has
been accomplished with a liberality never
before accorded any comic opera produc
ton and that Mr.. Gilmore firmly believes
it will make him fame and fortune can in
no way be better Illustrated than by his
purchase outright of the score and book.
The opera will be given here with very
strong cast and will be given in it's entirety
with every attention to detail the same as
at Palmer's theatre, New York City.
