The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-11-17

THE Ticket OF Leave Man" are some
of his favorite roles in those old days.
Good reports reach us of the work
of two Salt Lake girls who are pur-
suing their musical studies in the east
and south; one is Miss Helen Shear
man, who is in New York, and who
has decided not to adopt the stage as
a profession, but to fit herself for
ratorios and concert work. She retains
an excellent church position. The
other is Miss Lottie Levy, daughter
of Sam Levy, who is with her mother
in New Orleans. Miss Levy had strong
clear, soprano voice, and the teacher
under whom she has been studying
four months is so we'll pleased with
her progress that he proposes bring
ing her out at concert in the near
future.
It is like breath waited from other
days to read that Emelie Melville is
back in San Francisco singing in comic
opera. Sixteen years ago Melville was
the Lillian Russell of the comic opera
stage and nowhere was she admired
more than in Salt Lake. Soon after
she left here came her eseapade with
the comedian of her company, Tom
Casselli The two fled to India where
Casselli soon after died, and Melville
was divorced by her husband in the
San Francisco courts. This is the first
time she has revisited America since,
and though her voice is not all that it
was, San francisco papers still speak
very kindly of her accomplishments.
Last week she appeared at the Tivoli
in Madame FaVart.
At the Grand on Wednesday afternoon
next, Miss Ruth Eldredge the profess
sor of elocution and physical culture,
will give an entertainment in which
she will be assisted by members of the
stock company. A number OF her
friends have taken hold of the affair,
and intend working it up into sub
stantial testimonial for the young
lady, who is one of the hardest of our
workers. We trust they may be sue
ceSsful.
From all sides come the busy notes
Of preparation for next years Eistedd-
fod in Denver an evidence that the
affair in Salt Lake was everything that
had been expected for it ir the way of
arousing interest in these Welsh con-
!
from the Ensign chorus down, will no
doubt enter the lists, and from way
over the water in distant Cambria,
comes the news that a ladies chorus
will come to compete. 1t is the same
! Welsh chorus that won a. prize at the
| Worlds Fair, and they intend touring
America. 1t looks as though Denver
would have to build a regular amphi-
theatre to take proper care Of her
white elephant.

LONDON, Nov. 15-Nothing now
prevents the immediate beginning of
work on the new London opera house,
save a technical permit from the crown
leaseholder ON the property and the
London county council. The syndicate
which has the matter in hand has Sc
cured a. long lease at "a yearly rental
of "a, 200. The plans for the building
submitted by Mr. Walter Emden, the
we'll known theatrical architect, have
also been approved by the syndicate
and a sum in excess of $4,000 is in
the keeping of an insurance company.
There is much speculation as to who
will manage the new place of amuse-
