atrical entertainment it was not consid-
cred good form to pstronize low comedy
and the wild Irishman was a despised
character. From the Mulligan Guards
of old to Old Lavender and Reilly and
the 400, Harrigan has persistently inn
proved his work. faithfully sticking to
the same vein. With each production
he more aggressivsly appeals not only to
the risibles, but also to the heart. His
songs and Braham's music have been
strong factors in this direction, and
above all the selection OF players who
had the talent to extract the essence OF
humor from the works, and the good
sense never to overstep the line OF
reason.

The distance from Salt Lake to Los

San Francisco it Is 100 miles. Nearly
400 miles is found to the advantage OF
the southern metropolis. Such a saving
means that all the wealth of Utah, Ne
