The authorities in the colony of
Virginia, at the time OF the contest in
England between the Stuarts and
Cromwell, appear to have been de-
voted TO the Stuarts, and when the
C~romwellian government threatened
To send a fleet to reduce the colony To
submission, its officials dispatched a
message to young Charles, who was
afterwurd King of England, under the
title of Charles II, but was then hiding
in France, asking him to come over
and be king of Virginia. II is said
that Charles was on the point of start
ing, when the collapse of the common
wealth and the Cromwellian regime
took place, which sen him back to the
English throne. Charles never forgot
this devotion of Virginia to his for

the country Mr.. Hayman makes dates
6nd contracts with all OF these big
travelling companies. not only in the
3sEbove named theaters, but in many
vother intermediate ones. Sometimes he
makes arrangements to dispose of
every available date at a certain the
alter; at other times he arranges to
play a certain attraction every night
during the season at some theater or
other. Having some fifty organiza
lions under his control, each playing
every night in different cities, it can
easily be imagined that Mr.. Hayman's
experience is somewhat exciting during
the busiest part of the season. He is
not always subject to financial loss
with these different companies, as
some of them arrange with him on
what IS called in the profession "a GER
tainty," but in others of them he is
largely interested in the nightly re-
ceipts. Thus it happers that their ad-
ventures on the road are of constant
and vivid interest to Mr.. Hayman.
Fires, railway accidents, frosts and
floods are liable to Interfere with his
plans and dates, while probably there
are some less public calamities that
affect the success of his maneuvers.
1t must be clear that an arrange
ment of this nature is of great advan-
tage to the Salt Lake theater. Mr.
Hayman is strictly in the swim, and
is enabled to watch the growing popu-
larity of every attraction before the
public, while he is shrewd and far-see-
ing enough to make many of his bar
gains several years ahead of the public
appearance.
