When young EliaSon was chosen by
the audience last Sunday night to 20
on the stage MS one of the judges Of
Miss Fay'a "expefimentH,n ut was with
this IDEA that N there was anything In
her "msnifcstations" that could De
found out 1t would be made manifest
t. the amateur sleight-Of.hand man. He
evidently kept his eyes opoi, for he
now announces that on Monday even
ing he will duplicate Miss Faye Eek
perimentso anu then show how they
were done. Aapubllc interest In Miss
Faye performance was very keen, II
will probably be- Just US keen over the
promised expose.
Last night Bait Lake probably saw
Hazel kirke for tho last time. In n
very neat speech from the stage, Mr.
Weston said tue Old play, which had
been witnessed by more people than
any other play ever written before or
since Its time, was now In Its last
days, aud II Is not likely that It Will he
put before the public next season. This
final presentation was such one rs
will keep the old play green In the
memory OF Salt Lakers long after the
manuscript has grown musty on the
shelves. Old man Couldock and Ellie
Elisler played with all the force and
tenderness they threw Into their parts
ON tht,s nfst season out, and they MS
well us all Others of the company,
seemed To feel In the mood Of
doing their very best rs n sort
OF farewell tributs to the Old vehicle
which hal dOle 10 much for them In
the past. Then, too, they were doubt
less ~armed by large, friendly and
responsive audience, largely made up
Of Mystic Shriners, who came wearing
their caps, out OF regard to MIR. Wes-
ton. Al the iend Of act ., where Miss
Ellaler has her best scene, the knights
presented her with mammoth tiOtal
Offering, aud handed Mr.. Weston a
gaily decorated rope, which has some
| Significance peculiar to the order. Ii
was then that Mr.. Weston made his
neat little speech. The applause was
thundurOus, but hardly more 40 than
over Couldock's superb third act.
| The stage OF tolRy affords few
IL any inner pictures Of the rugged
school Of acting, tnan this veteran
furnishes In mis- soventy.eight Ia year.
Miss Eilslor was all tenderness, all
force, all womauliness; " she would
play all her ether part, with the ear-
nestness she threw into Hazel las,
night, she would score many deeper
impressions. The same might DO said
OF Mr.. Drouet. He IL much better In
this play than in his own; IN Doris he
furnishes AN instance OF repression run
riot.
Hazel Kirke is going to a matinee
this afternoon, anu Doris, which seems
to have taken n strong hold on the
popular taste, win close an altogether
100 brief season this evening.
