famous old play of "The Love Chase
gorgeouSly costumed. In her support
this year are such well-known players
as Barton HILL Hattie Russell and Ma
thaniel Hartwig.
Henry E. Dixey, the original Adonis,
as bright, clever and comical as of
yore, is booked to amuse theatre-goers
here with Augustin Days adaptation,
"a Lottery of Love- Mirth and music
combine to make this one of the funni-
est comedies ever presented, and it
was in this that the eminent French
comedian, Coquelin, made such a de-
cided hit during his American tour.
Few actors there are who care to I'M
dergo the ordeal of comparison, but
DiXey has courted the test in produc-
ing this comedy, and report says he
has proved himself capable to approach
higher standard of comedy work than
he has attempted in the past. His
handling of the role of Adolphus Dou-
bic Dot, the mother-in-lawed hero, is
called one of the cleverest of his per-
formances. He is supported by happy
company of players, including George
Pauline French, and several other IA
voriteS.

which the above is the cast. This is
the play which ran a whole season
at Daniel Frohman's New York Ly-
ceum, and in which George Cayvan
made pronounced sensation by APP
pearinC in trousers. If Miss Warren
does the same thing here, without
doubt the sensation will be equalled.

up in his hotel with one of his old
spells of sickness for the past day or
two and though he expects to go to
the Grand ultimately, he will not be

| whose work through the week has
shown steady Improvement, has a re-
sporsible role.

the production of Romeo and Juliet

Ultimate" AS to the musical merits
of the production, it is only necessary
to remind amusement lovers that the
Orpheus club, under the very able
conductorship of Mr.. Peabody. has
in it's five years of existence earned
and maintained the reputation OF be-
ing the best male chorus club Salt
Lake City has known, a fact recently
emphasized by its capture of the first
prize for male chorus singing at our
great Eis.eddfod. It is worthy of
mentioning that the club has been
brought to it's present high state of
excellence .purely through a love Of
music on the part of its members and
its conductor. and that in all the time
it has been before the public 1t has
never before made charge for its SER
vices.

likely to excite not only the curiosity
but possibly the envy of some of their
lady friends.
The well-known musical capabilities
and dramatic talents of the principals
in the cast. which includes the inim-
liable Spencer. are an assurance that
the operate and burlesque features
of the production will be properly pre-
scented. An especial merit of the
opera is that is pleases not only the
lower part of the house, but the gal
leries as well. something too frequent
ly overlooked in productions by ANA
teurs.
The members of the Tabernacle chorus

expenses concerts will be given at Sac
ramento and San Francisco, and possibly
in Oakland or San Jose. The Tabernacle
