The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-12-16

On Tuesday evening next, unique
entertainment viii be given in the the
attire under the auspices OF the Ladies,
Aid society Of the Congregational
church 1t is called a Trades Kar-
nivai and is promised to be some
thing different from. anything that has
ever before been given in these parts.
One hundred prominent ladies of the
city VIII take part in the entertain-
ment, together With thirty business
men and seventy-fiye of the national
guard OF Utah.
We are inclined to think that Mr..
FrohnlaB is sending US a better COM
pany for Christmas. in the New
Boy" than he did in "1harley's Aunt"
The leading part is taken by Bert
Coote, whose portrait in that charac-
ter was recent feature Of the front
page OF the New York Dramatic Mir
ror. The San Francisco Music and
Drama says of their performance:
Re are more Laughs to the minute
~ e California this week than the
~ OF that handsome theatre have
echoed to for months. and THE New.
Boy which, in itself, is a funisier farce
comedy than 'Charlesrs Aunt with all;
the additional advantages OF being
played by a better all-around COM
pany, has made an unequivocal sue
cess 1t he's been said that it resem-
bies Vice Versa or Little Puck or
any other of the demonstrations of the.
celebrated story which Frank Daniels
made a saocess in, but the only point
of similarity is the school Of Doctor
Candy. There is something, more of a.
plot and less OF buriesuue in The New
Boy than tiIe pieces mentioned in COM
pariscn possess, and II moves along
with great vivacity through three acts
of solid amusement. Bert Ceote is ex-
ceedingly good as the complainant lit
tie husband who goes back to school
as the new boy out of devotion 20 his
ma1ronly wife. Mr. Coote's unique
though subdued comedy methods are
well suited to the part and he has the
CLEVER comedians best cssality Of max
ing a. point as though it had not been
preconcerted.'
''The New Boy comes to. the thea
ire on Christmas aftegn0on and night
and the following night.
1t is settled that the Calhoun Opera
company is 10 fill three nights at the
theatre during Christmas week They
open on the 9th of December with
'Amorita." followed the next night
with The Black Hussar and wind
ing UP on Saturday night with a. third
attractive opera. This company does
not come with a great flourish of trum-
pets claiming to be the biggest and
finest on this or any other earth, but
dts management does claim for it that
they give good performances that
please cultivated people as well as the
Masses and that more pains have been
taken to secure an evenly balanced
and well trained company than to have
one of the worlds great stars trailed
by a crowd of light-weigf1ts. There are
forty-three people in the company, as
evidenced by the contract that has
been made with the railroad people for
thei- transportation.
Next after the Calhoun Opera COM
pany, that is, for two nights. Dec 81
and Jan. l, comes the Troubadour en-
tertainment Of Lottie Collins. 1T is vau-
deville in character, though a principal
feature of the evening is a farcical
operetta in one act, styled 1.-THE Devil
Bird" In this piece the distinguished
creator of '"Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-a has
an opportunity to exhibit her peculiar
talent for comedy. There are other
good singers in the cast, and the rest
Of the entertainment is made up with
