There seems to be a great diversity
of opinion in the minds of numerous
Salt Lakers regarding the outcome and
future Of the new Grand on Second
South street, and some, who pretend
to know whereof they speak, are very
loud in their expressions of disapproval
at the manner in which the new enter
prise is being handled, predicting
disastrous outcome, while others are
warm in their enthusiastic praise of
the success OF the project. Now, what
ever the outcome, we feel that a great
deal of credit is due the young gentle
men who first conceived and afterwards
carried out their praiseworthy scheme.
Numerous difficulties must be over
come, particularly in financial way,
for all such enterprises always exceed
by great deal the originally intended
cost, and a playhouse is the worst of
all to eat up cash; but there is an end,
and when it is just appearing in the
very near future, after SO many
months of sunless disappointments, we
feel that encoura cement and not con-
demnation should be extended the pro-
jectors. The opening date is now set
and the company a { last settled upon,
although loud threats are heard from
the actors and actresses who hold con-
tracts for engagements which have
been set at naught by the arrange
ments for new ones with new people,
but sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" and when the doors are open
ed all will probably go smoothly

ed for the opening bill, Captain Swift"
has been withdrawn and substi-
tuted by the romantic comedy

adaptation by Helen Odell, entitled
