One of the most successful fads of the
season in New York is the living pic
ture craze, the pictorial masterpieces
of the greatest painters being repro
duced in tableau1, as many as twenty
of them in one evening. The first cost
of these productions is very great re-
curing aheayy outlay for scenery ana
costumes, but afterwards it is a COM
para tively cheap show to run and very
profitable. Thousands of dollars are
first invested, however. The fetching
feature of the entertainment is proba-
biy in the liberal selection of nude and
semi-nude subjects, such as Venus
Arising from the Sea-" "Hebe,' THE
Last Days of Corinth," of which there
gre not a few in the most successful
living picture entertainments. One OF
these entertainments is now about to
be produced in San Francisco.
Some resentment is felt by the pro-
fession that Madeline Pollard should be
permitted to assume the role of a dra-
matte star for no other reason than
that she was the heroine of a. disrepu-
table romance. Madame Janauschek
has appealed to the Professional
Woman's league to prevent legitimate
actresses from engaging in the support
of Pollard.
Edwin Milton Royle is now on his
third successful tour with Friends"
and in the course of his travels, Salt
Lake will again have the opportunity
Of seeing it.
"Charley's Aunt is one of the big
cards boxed for the theatre during the
coming season. 1t has made a great
hit in London, having been run at the
Globe theatre for nearly a year.
One of the most successful attractions
at the Academy of Music, New York,
was "In Old Kentucky" which ran for
three months and them fulfilled other
engagements in the large cities. 1t is
now making it's way westward and will
be seen here before very long.
The third month of Aladdin, Jr," is
now on at the Chicago opera house, and
1t continues to draw big houses right
along. 1t is the greatest of the
productions Of the American
Extravaganza company, of which
Mr. Henderson is the sole manager.
The people of Salt Lake will have an
opportunity to see it during the COM
ing season.
THE NEW GRAND.
We learn from the owners of the
Grand opera house that strenuous
effort will be made to get the place
