The Lyceum has done a pretty good
business during the week with its
comedy of "Old Heads and Young
hearts" and the living pictures. One
cannot tell by the title of a piece what
he will see when he gets to the Ly-
ceum. "Old Heads and Young Hearts
was first played in the Salt Lake thea
tire on March II, 1868, at which Time ii
was called Naval Engagements" with
T. A. Lyme in the leading part. 1T was
also given in the Social hall some six
teen years ago, under the same title,
and was played by Harry Emery and
few of the young ladies and gentle
men who afterwards formed the Home
Dramatic club. The same people then
belonged to the Wasatch Literary So
ciety. 1t was fairly well rendered at
the Lyceum, all things considered, and
in the role of the susceptible and iras-
chile Admiral Kingston, Mr. Harry
Taylor did better than we have seen
him do for some years. The living pic
lures were far from flawless at the be
ginning of the week, but Mr.. O'Malley
stuck to them with sincere desire to
make them as good as possible, and
every evening they improved. until
they finally became quite beautiful A
fellow up a tree might think it a very
easy thing to make these pictures, but
it was found in New York as well as
here that great many difficulties
stand in the way. They are chiefly
technical, however, and can be over
come with care and experience. The
subjects chosen at the Lyceum were
comparatively simple, but were well
worth seeing. Mr.. Anderson's scenery
is artistic and a valuable accessory to
the production.
The suit brought by Charles F'roh- |
man against O'Mally for producing
"Charlev's Aunt" 60 came up for hear I
ing yesterday. The case was closed .
against evidence and will be argued +
Tuesday This week will be produced 4
the three act comedy 'An Arabian .
Knight" followed by a series of four
Turing pictures, the subjects of which
have not been announced 81 4

fellow Scotsmen, and are old-time
friends. Stoddart has no warmer ad-
mirers than Mckenzie, Margetts,

Robert Downing recently concluded a
splendid engagement in Philadelphia.
The press of that city had the highest
praise for him. The conservative
Ledger said: He displayed great tall
ent and was aided by his magnificent
physique" The Enquirer: HE rises
TO the full height of tragedy" The
Times: with his magnificent carriage !,
and dramatic powers, he lends enchant-
ment to the drama and draws forth
volley's of applause" The News: His
pathetic voice. the ease and nicely
of his expression and the firm COM (.
mand he has of his facial expression,
are marvels of excellence and show the
result of long cultivation and strict at
tention to the infinite details of the
actors art" The North American:
