The re has not been great deal of noise
made about the coming of the noted plan
ist, Sherw God, and his recital tomorrow
night under the direction of Professor
Krouse, but musical people are fully awake
to the event and Professor Krouse says the
advance subscription sale guarantees q
handsome audience. We trust it may be
so. We know generally that concerts and
piano recitals are losing ventures in Salt
Lake, and we would dislike to see Sher-
wood receive anything but royal recep-
ton. Following is the programme, and it
is one OF rare interest to both our amateurs
and professors.

Mr.. William H. Sherwood.
The Montreal papers are at hand with
notices Of Mr.. Royle's "E'riends," which
recently opened its season in that city
We are glad to see that last seasons rec
ord of success is being maintained. All
the papers give complimentary notices of
both the play and the acting of the au-
thor and The Herald says: Its author is
the star Of the company Edwin Milton
Royle looks to be man of thirty years
Of age, and. as seen upon the boards of the
Academy (where, by the way, the play
was presented last night), he appeared to
revel IN his own lines, and spoke them,
not as an actor but as man who meant
every word and action which his clever
brain had conceived and his alabaster fin
gers had placed upon paper. As an au-
thor he must take high place, as an
actor still higher. His support is able.
They ell seem to be the right people in the
right place. The story calls for very
strong character known as Marguerite
Otto and Miss Selena Fetter's work in this
role was really very clever. 1t is seldom
that one sees better studied or better
acted finale than her Good Bye" song at
the close of the second act. The part of
Adrian Karie demands an able elocutionist
ana o pianist in one. He is not often found,
but he has been in the present instance
Lucius Henderson deserves that many
good things should be said of him; it is a
toss up whether he is the m0re clever
musician or actor.
When the news was given out that
Abbey, Schoeffel and Grau had signed an
agreement to direct Miss Gales tour this
season, there was considerable surprise.
In the first place, it is unusual for that
firm to handle any attractions except those
of international celebrity Miss Gale has
been star but one season, and she had
still TO demonstrate her ability to make her
services distinctly profitable In these cir
cumstances the only explanation for the
new alliance seemed to lie in the report that
Mr. Abbey had hoped to induce Mary
Anderson to return to the stage for an
American tour and failing that ne had
taken up Miss Gale with possible hope of
making her Mary Anderson's successor
This surmise, however, was erroneous.
The firms motive for entering into the ar
rangement with Miss Gale was entirely
different In other words, it has sold the
use Of its name to the young actress for q
round sum. At least, that is what the
Mirror is given to understand by the ex-
PLANTATION OF one who is in a position to
know the true nature OF the transaction.
According to this informant Mr.. Haynes,
the gentleman who married Miss Gale last
week, was desirous that she should aban-
don the stage when she became his wife.
He argued that unless she could win fame
and fortune by her acting there was no
good reason for her to continue.
Miss Gale was reluctant to give up her
dramatic career, and urged that she had
not yet had fair chance TO show what she
was capable of. Finally Mr.. Haynes con-
sented to her playing one season more as q
test. II the results should be sufficiently
large to substantiate Miss Gales conf
dence, he would interpose no objection to
her remaining before the public. II, on the
contrary, there should be no adequate Pc
cuniary encouragement, she must leave the
boards and relinquish her aspirations.
TO this proposal Miss Gale is said to
have consented. But Mr.. Haynes also
considered it q sine qua non that Miss Gales
tour should be under the direction of
well-known manager.
Abbey. Schoeffe and Grau were asked to
undertake Miss Gales management. They
declined. Then they were asked to name
the terms on which they would be
willing to direct her business for one year.
The firm considered the matter and fin
ally answered that they would take charge
of Miss Gales tour this season for the sum
of $4,000. but they would not assume the
responsibilities Of any loss
Miss Gale accepted the FIRMS proposal,
and the agreement ~ as siQned to turn nvar
