Manager Rogers has reason to con-
graduate himself on the charming play.
and the magnificent Interpretation Of
1t given by his company a the Grand
Opera house last week. 1t was GER
tainly the finest performance vet given
on the stage Of that cosy little house,
and we are inclined to doubt if it could
have been played more brilliantly by
any metropolitan company now in eX-
istence. Every member of the com
pany did exceptional work and the pub
lie demonstrated their appreciation by
an extraordinary attendance Begin
ming with the opening night the house
was crowded to the doors at every per
Torrance. and the standing room only
sign had to be brought prominently
forward nearly every evening. For
the first time, as previously remarked,
there was d splendid audience on the
opening night, thus breaking what we
have always deemed an unwarranted
habit on the part of the public. of
staying away till the latter part of the
week. 1t is safe to say that not one
out of the large audience had occasion
TO feel disappointed at having attended
the first night. First nights are the
fashion elsewhere, they might reason
ably become SO here.
Tomorrow evening Money and
Matches VIII De presented. a high
comedy on the order of Days "A
Night Off, Railroad of Love-" ''7-2S"
and The Passing Regiment" This
particular piece is said to ce full of
that bewitching humor that has given
fame to so many productions of the
DAILY stage. The plot of Money and
Matches" appears to be highly amusing.
There is a professor and a stock-broker
who exchange places in the business
world and attempt to perform each
others duties. There is also a daughter
belonging TO- each. and in their wilful
attempt to run their own affairs, re-
CARELESS of any paterfamilias, bring
about the complications of money and
matches that gives the title to the play.
The daughters and their respective
lovers meet in the darkness and, in
order to regard each other at limited

intervals. lucifer matches are brought
into requisition that dying out bring
into life matrimonial matches.
The play, well done, as it undoubted-
ly viii be, should be as literally patron
lied as Zone Error" for in its line, it
is equally as meritorious.
MI Burton has completed arrange
ments with A. NJ. Palmer whereby his
''TriIby' company will stop over here
on their return Journey east and give
a matinee and evening performance at
the Salt Lake theatre on November 2.
This will be welcome news to those
who failed to attend the last perform
ance given here by this company, and
who have audibly regretted the fact
ever since. ''Trilby" was certainly one
of the most remarkable plays that we
have ever had here, and one of alb
sorbing interest, and he or she who, not
having seen it previously, should fail
to do so this time will indeed be guilty
Of gross sin of omission.
Professor Gleason is in Chicago with
his horse tanning exhibit and finds good
patronage although the wheel threatens
to make the horse a rare animal that
will have to be preserved from eXtinc-
ton, like the Buffalo in Yellowstone
Park. There are said to be 100000
bicycles in use in the city of Chicago
and the way that some Of them become
unmanageable suggests that Gleason
turn his attention to the tanning Of
them. Sandow, Julia Marlowe Taber,
William Gillette and Seabrooke are
among the other attractions at present
IN the windy city.

Fourteenth century, when the warning
factions of the Guelphs and the
Ghibellines kept the city in constant
turmoil of civil war as vindictive and
active as that in England between the
Montagues and Capulets. Orso, the
part taken by Mr.. Downing, is the lead
or of the citizen element, and Helena.
played by Miss Blair. is the sister of
the leader of the mobiles. In the early
phases of the play, Helena is grew
ously insulted by OrsO, and afterwards
seeks to kill him in revenge, but falls
in love with him instead, much to the
chagrin of her brother, who brings
about the double tragedy of her
death as we'll as that of her lover. The
part of Helena overtops all the
rest in its tragic power and
is rendered by the splendidly
handsome Miss Blair with fine effect
Mr.. Downing role is not specially eX-
acting and does not make of him the
conspicuous hero such as we see him
in the "GladiatOr" Mr. Edwin Ferry
as the Ghibelline chief, has a part al
most as strong and plays it with equal
address. The principal feature of the
piece is the play itself. Sardou has
struck out an original theme, daring in
its suggestiveness, even from the pea
of a Frenchman. How it. will be re-
ticipate. a plot that is essentially
risque is handled with such mastery
skill as to obscure its character in an
atmosphere of tenderest love and pa
triotic heroism.
1t takes nerve to present such
play to any audience, and the result
must be one of two things-it will
either be frowned off the stage or will
create a sensation. If accepted. it will
be evidence of our own modern power
Of assimilation. We shall show our
selves ready to receive such topics for
the drama as were accepted in Shak-
speare's time, but which have long
been tabooed by circumspect theatre
goers.
Another attraction promised at an
early date to SAT- Lake is De Wolf
Hopper in DR.. SyntaX," which has
long had successful run in
Chicago. The dramatic editor felt
it his duty to take in this
popular piece by way of anticipation,
and solely out Of a sense Of duty paid
close attention to the congress of
beauty there assembled in a musical
paraphase of the old comedy school"
which has always been successful
under whatever name or guise it has
been put before the public. AS DR.
SylftaX, the tall and graceful Hopper
assumes the role of instructor to some
twenty pretty girls, and the pranks they
indulge in on the sly-and otherwise
are caution to the Staid people of
Vassar, or wherever it is that the
scenes are laid. 1t is just the sort of
thing that will take with a Salt Lake
audience.

He acquired proficiency in boxing
that was the marvel of his companions
who soon yielded him the palm, and
rellgiously kept away from his brawny
right.
His most notable achievement, how
ever, in the athletic world was pitching
the famous Unique Base Ball Club into
the championship, when it was thought
that they had no possible chance.
In later years, when the exacting
duties of his position prevented him
from following the bent of his inclina-
tons, he has devoted himself to the
| requirement of knowledge of sport
in general that has stamped him as
one of the best sporting writer's in
| the country.
He is the pioneer in this kind of
literary work, as no other colored man
ever attempted to achieve fame or
dollars in that direction.
He is prominent Mason, being re-
Gently given the muchsought-after So :,
and is also an indefatigable worker in

| difficult character as we'll, if not better
than any male printer in this country.
She was born in the State of Virginia
and came to the The BEE Office when
she was but fifteen years old, as an ap-
prentice. and last June made her sew
enth year in the business.
She remained at the case little over
7 or 8 months and SO apt was she in the
art of setting type, and so bright was
her ideas, she was soon made assistant
foreman.
Her business was then to teach Young
ladies and boy apprentices, who were
ambitious to learn the printing busi-
ness.
In the mean time she was persuing
her studies at night. and by hard work
she was soon able to write articles or
the paper.
AS descriptive writer she has no
equals among Afro-American female
writer's. She graduated with high
honors from the Spencerian Business
College and was regarded as an apt
student. Her essay on "Savings"
which was written for the Washington
Loan and Trust Company while at the
college, was one of the TWENTY-FIVE
SSiSNsNu oul VI l"o Gu or more
and was one of the first to be pub
lished in the Capital Savings Journal,
and was the only Afro-American Sc
lected.
Before the Press Convention that
was held in Chicago, ILL.,, she read a
very fine paper, which was highly in
dorsed by the Richmond Planet and
other Afro-American Journals.
She IS the city editor of The BEE, and
at the same time she edits and prepares
the Fashion column and Pointers on
the Side, which have become so popu-
lar in this paper. She is also one of
the officers and stockholders in The
BEE, which she has deservedly merited.
Miss Anderson is Christian ladv
and a strong believer in the Baptist
faith.
Her very refined and ladylike dispo-
sltlon have won for her a host of ad-
m1rers in all stations of life.
AS journalist among Afro .Ameri-
can women she is in advance of them
all.
AS a printer, she has no equals
among Afro-American women.
AS proof-reader, she compares fav-
orably with any.
AS fancy job printer, she has no
equal among her sex.
Her last success was the passage of
civil service examination, making a

SPORTING EDITOR OF THE BEE

The subject of this sketch is prob.
ably one of the best known men in
this country, fact which can be at,
| taibuted to his position of many years
| as manipulation of rare excellence OF
| the festive glass, and the further fact
that the travelling public usually find
! their way to the hostelery over which
he presides with much dignity and
| uniform courtesy.
People from all over the country, OF
whatever station in life, from Congress
man to plebian, remember Roy with
equal facility.
In spite of the fact that he has been
for some time living in the north
western section of the city, Capitol
Hill, the scene. of so many pleasant
recollections of his childhood and in
cipient manhood, still has a warm
place in his heart.
In his earlier days, the days of his
youth, he was an unquestloned leader
of his fellows, and his right to lead
was generally conceded, because he
was one Of rugged frame, fertile in the
invention of new games to amuse his
playmates, and natural boxer of sur
prislng skill.
He was an industrious student,
and was ambitious to make a mark
for himself, but cts destiny that
shapes our ends, rough hew them as
we may" and his school career was
abruptly terminated at a time when
his future seemed most bright
He secured employment ol the

sions of labor he sedulously applied
himself to athletic sports, all thoughts
of future greatness, all thoughts of the
realization of his dreams being dis
PEELED by existing circumstances.
