Thorne, James O'Neil. Walden Ram
say, F. F. Mackay, Sara Jewett, Ida
Vernon, Maude Harrison and Madame
Pouisi in the cast, and on their first
summer tour produced it here in the
Salt Lake theatre. where 1t was re-
ceived with great applause. The
theme upon which it is founded is that
OF a too confiding country wife having
her eyes opened by her gay city friend.
The characters are all real, just the
sort of people one meets in a large
city. The action takes place at Sir
and at the celebrated Cremoine. dur
ing a bal-masque Harry Corson
Clarke will play Joskin Tubbs, the old
Londoner. who is looking for q good
time; Wright Huntington, his nephew
Charlie Wagstaff, from Manchester;
Howard Kyle. the gay Sir Percy Wag-
stan; Cecil livingstone. the head waiter
at the Cremoine, Brisket: Florida
Kingsley. the too confiding wife, Sophie
Greythorne; Lisle Leigh, the worldly
lady. Maggie Wagstaff; Madge Carr
Cook, Mrs. Joskin; Hugh Ward, her
young nephew. Henry. who is studying
TO be doctor; and Victory Bateman,
the modest serving maid, Rebecca. the
cause Of all the trouble. During the
action of the second musical, dancing
and vaudeville specialties will be intro

1t is from this act and this piece
that Hoyt got his main ideas for the
"Trip TO Chinatown The comedy will
be new departure for this excellent
company. who will then have been seen

of the old English comedy, David

The management also are considering
Henry Hamilton's new play, "Har-
vest" a piece on the same lines as
Sowing the Wind" or Lady Winde-
meres Fam for an early production.
Mr. Hamilton is best known as the
adaptor of Moths Our Regiment
and The Danicheffs." Harvest" is
his first original play.
Falstaff claimed that he was not
only witty himself, but was the cause
of wit in others, but this is not true OF
all humorists. There are many come
dams who make other people laugh
and yet are by no means keen in their
own discernment of humor. Some of
the funniest people we meet are quite |

Other comical fellows are as appre- /
ciative of their own wits as they are /
Of the wits of others.
1t is said that Victory Bateman is
an offer from Charles Froh-
man for his production of The Rae
ng Duchess for next season.
