Manager Gates, of Wonderland, is re

Patience and perseverance, allied with
an earnest seeking after better

Columbus" met with the success
last week that was early predicted for
it, and we should advise the manage
ment to pursue this class Of entertain
ment for me exact length of time that
they find it profitable TO dc 50, but not
TO remain satisfied with their initial
flight in the realms Of light opera. to
the exclusion of further striving after
a more artistic effect. Musically Col
umbus" was eminently satisfactory,
being light, melOdious and consistent,
and last but not least, was rendered in
truly delightful style. MIR. f. X. Hep
burn IS not only an able conductor, he
is also a talented musician and COM
poser, and is proving himself Valu-
able adjunct to the Wonderland house
hold.
Miss Lena Crews, our only prima
donna, has so far done well, and, with
the majority, created a favorable i'm
preston. She is pretty, graceful and
sWeet-voiced. Her chief error in the
role of Columbus" was an apparent
inability on her part to grasp the exact
sense OF meaning of the lines she was
delivering, which not only OccaSloned
her TO stumble once or twice. but
caused her TO rattle out her words al
most completely unpunctuated, thereby
occasioning her audience a proportion
ate amount Of Inconsistencies as to
whom or what she was alluding to.
Burton Stanley is at present sailing
along in a full tide Of public favor.
The roles he has chosen to represent
have all been made very mirth-proVok-
ing by him. and so far, which is
greatly to his credit, he has rerrained
from resorting to any coarse or ques-
tiOnable methods whereby to distin-
guish himself. His son, who is
bright, clever lad, would do well to
retain this fact in his memory and do
likewise.
If Wonderland's future productions
are all as good as Columbus was, 70
cents will not be an adequate amount.

enough to pay. We would advise the
management TO think this over.
Next Wednesday, July 10, is the day
set for the kindergarten excursion to
Saltair The ladies in charge of this
undertaking have been working sedu-
lously in behalf of it and devising
plans whereby the utmost enjoyment
might be afforded to all who intend
visiting Saltair on that occasion. One
OF the interesting features of the day
will be the distribution of 500 in cash,
divided into four prizes, ranging from
$50 down to SO. Each purchaser Of
ticket, whether child or adult, viii re-
ceive a duplicate coupon. Early in the
evening the coupons will be placed in
two boxes, one containing the adults
the other the children'S. A little child
will draw the lucky number which
will entitle the holder to $50 in cash,
and the last will be a child's coupon,
representing $40 in cash. This alone
should prove a strong attraction, as
each purchaser will be allowed a fair
and equal chance. In the afternoon
there will be dancing for the children
from o'clock till 6. During the even
ing some fancy dances will be given,
also songs by Miss Maud Pratt, Mr..
Tom Ashworth and others. The grand
ball commences at 7:30 o'clock. All are
invited to attend. The members of the
