same play ana April 70 the iaunJ ends in
Ogden with Held by the Enemy" as the
bill. Mrs Gilbert plays Edith Clawson's
role in the last named play both in Salt
Lake and on the road,
Mr.. and Mrs. Judge Royle received
pleasant dispatch from their son, Edwin
M, Royle, yesterday. II was to the effect
that he had succeeded in getting three
weeks at the Standard theatre, New York,
during the month of May, for production
of his play, "Out of Darkness. He and
Mr.. Henderson will be in the cast. pre-
sumably playing the parts they assumed in
Salt lake, and 1t Is expected that Salvini's
leading lady will play the role of the prima
donna, enacted here by Edith Clawson.
The Standard theatre belongs to ]. M Hill,
who also owns the Union Square: Bern
hardt played her engagement there last
fall, and it is in all ways an excellent house
for a trial production. Salt Lake will
await with interest the result of the first
night.
The biggest chorus which has vet sung
in the tabernacle will appear at the concert
of the combined choirs a week from to-
morrow evening. Professor Stephens is
hard at WORK training his singers, and the
new orchestra which Professor Petersen
has organized is said to be in good trim for
it's first appearance. MIR. Easton, Mr. God
dard and Mr.. Weihe are among the soloIsts
Of the occasion.
All eyes have been on Lord Tennyson's
play at Days theatre during the past fort
night; the interest is more than passing
one, for it is generally thought that 1.-The
t'oresters" will be the last important work
from the laureate's pen. AS the play pro-
crosses it becomes evident that it will be
merely "a success OF curiosity"-it does
not contain the elements of a popular
go" The Journal says: 1t has been a
very costly production; all the scenes have
been painted expressly for the play; the
costumes are elaborate and rich-too rich
IN fact, for the time and scene. for Robin
Hood and his merry men certainly never
went round Sherwood Forest in such gor-
geous magnitcence as MIR. DAILY has favored
them with-and most of the acting is deli
cate and refined
Miss Rehan, in particular, is very charm
ing as Maud Myran, and Mr.. Drew has
never played costume part better than
Robin Hood. AS a rule he is not happy
out of modern dress. Miss Cheathan gives
two or three neat bits, and Herbert Ores
ham is a manly if somewhat too artificial
Little John.
Even if Mr.. Daily makes no money by
this production and 1T Is evident that he
will not-he has never done anything to
more effectively draw attention to his
theatre and to the high class of material
that he furnishes to the pubic.
1t lis evident that Tennyson will not do
much more literary work, whether good or
bad. A cablegram to the New York Herald
tells the following:
Tennyson has almost been interviewed
by London reporter on his new play. The
laureate is sojourning at Earring ford, in
the Isle of Wight, and an enterprising
journalist who attempted to draw him,
while he knew that ne was hard to ap-
proach, was unaware that he had become a
perfect monomaniac. lbs journalist waited
yesterday on Tennyson outside the
grounus, and when his lordship started on
his daily walk be approached him, hat in
hand.
~ see your lordships play has been sue
cesstuly produced at Days theatre III
New York"
Tie laureate walked on without deigniug
to LOOK.
"Tne cable dispatches state that the play
is the best thing your lordShip has ever
written added the reporter, keeping pace
with the poet. There was no response.
"Mr. Irving says that there will be an
assured run for year if your lordship will
let him produce the play at the Lyceum.
What are your lordship's planS!''
His lordship continued to stare straight
ahead of him, and the reporter was finally
stopped by the Hon. Hallam Tennyson, who
apologized for his fathers apparent rude
