not posted one of the members, Mr.. Pierce,
missed the train at Boise. There was de-

ascertained; but the manager set to work,
cut his part Jack Desmond) down as much
as possible, and Mr.. Barlow bravely con-
sented TO attempt it. He sat up eli night
on the cars ana partially learned it., and by
carrying the part surreptitously along
with him on the stage and making some
lightning changes he managed to do Des-
mond as well as his own part OF the Mar
quis. Mr.. Pierce arrived at Brigham in
time for the next night, breathing anathe-
mas on the railroad officials at Boise.
Brigham turned out one large audience to

warmly, and at the conclusion Of the per-
formance of sEsmeralda'i Friday night the
dancing hall over the opera house was
opened in honor of the club, and abo1t one
hundred of Brignam's young people as
sembled tc grace the occasion. A very
pleasant two hours were passed.
Last night at Ogden the club played
"Held by the Enemy'' before a goodly
sized and appreciative audience. There
were several double curtain calls. The ex-
plosive effect and other novelties of the
military play went as well as they ever did
in Salt Lake. Quite party OF Salt Lakers
went up last night ana added to the bril-
liancy Of the audience.
Mr.. Wells, of the Home Dramatic club,
received decided compliment yesterday.
He ran down from Ogden to attend TO some
business and found laying on his desk a
dispatch from Edwin NJ. Royle, asking him
If he could possibly come on to
New York and play the character
in 'Out of Darkness" which is to have a
three weeks run at the Standard theatre
commencing May 9. Mr.. Wells business
would not allow him to 60 and he so tele-
graphed Mr. Royle. That gentleman and
Mr.. Henderson spoke highly of Mr.. Wells
delineation when the play was first done,
and it is probable that in arranging their
cast they could find no one who could SO
