IOOOOOOOOOO 10000 ON
! SSS 30
gagement has been arranged as fol-
lows: Thursday evening. and Saturday
urday evenings, Or. SyntaX."
After an exceedingly successful
week with the Galley Slave" the
management of the Grand opera house
purpose producing Tom Robertson's
popular comedy, School"
This is a piece in which excessive
merriment abounds from start to I'm
ish, caused by the scrapes and compl-
cations INDUCED in by mischievous
schoolgirl. In this play the curtain
acter as Numerically opposed TO
Francesca in THE Galley Slave as
could possibly be conceived. She is
to be a schoolgirl in the midst o+
bevy of her kind reading the old story
of Cinderella. She is the envied pos
SCISSOR of admirers by the score, VINO
ali aid materially in bringing about the
amusing complications which besei
her path. The part of Naomi Tighe,
of our heroine, will be undertaken by
Miss Mcintyre 4 meddhng wife and
pretentious schoolmaSter roles to be
interpreted by Mrs. Chester and MIR.
Edeson, will incite much of the nirtn
N the piece. i almost goes without
saying that Ingersoll and Edwar(N in
! the respective parts of Lord Beaufoy
and Jack Poyntz, will do ample justice
to their roles as well as to the reputa
zion already acquired by them.
'.Schoor' is likely to have a very
successful issue at the opera house the
coming week
What promises to be a great attempt
in the era of realism VIII be seen at the
Salt Lake theatre next Wednesday
evening, in the melodrama Of Lincoln
]. Carters Fast Mail" This play is
we'll known throughout the country for
the completeness and magnitude of its
mechanical effects. The production is
under the personal supervision of the
author, Lincoln ]. Carter, and special
scenery is carried for the ten complete
sets used in the play. In a second act
a steamboat is shown with the boiler
rooms and their intricate machinery
and the glowing furnaces. The boat is
blown up by a tremendous explosion
and the wreck is seen going down mid
river. A great railway scene is an
other achievement of this performance
in the direction of realism. A freight
train of fourteen cars is run across the
stage with an illuminated caboose and
practical locomotive The fireman
and engineer are seen at their respect
i've stations, a mail train comes speed
ing by and catches the mail pouch just
as every one has seen it do many a
time, producing an effect entirely real
istic. In the last act Niagara Falls are
/ shown in all their natural beauty. A
cataract of real water is placed upon
the stage, boiling and foaming like TO
nature. Soft moonlight adds to the eff
/ feet and the scene would need only a
suspension bridge to complete the effect
Of reality.
The engagement is for one night
only, Wednesday,, Nov 6.
It is rather singular that the comedy
School, should have been selected
for the coming week at the Grand, and
! that the comic opera Of Or Syntax,"
which is really the same piece under
another name, should be coming to the
theatre.
1t may not be generally known, but
is nevertheless fact that the coming
week IS likely to be the final one for
NhlSS 2hC1uly 1PBf-oAe1ASS az NiiS
Grand Opera house. The manage
| ment is at present in correspondence
with Miss Bateman, who may, before
long, again become a member Of the
Opera house stock company. 1t is also
on the tapis that Miss Pollock will
abdicate in favor of Miss Maud Win
terS the erstWhile talented member of
the Lyceum theatre. After next week S
performance, Miss Warren will assume
~ Of lnadincr 1aHU of tho
Opera house, station that she in
every way merits. and viii undoubtedly

On Friday the Lyceum management
came to the conclusion that the city's
patronage did not warrant the expense
they were undergoing with high
salaried company, and the brief season
of theatricals a that place came to an
abrupt close. On that day Mr.. Rich
man called for his weeks salary in
advance, said to be 1926 claiming a
doubt as to whether the house could be
kept open with its limited attendance;
bat prepayment was refused and the
stalwart star declined to continue his
enga cement. 1t is said that
Miss Dwyer had made five
weeks contract at 500 per week
ana had gone TO cOnSlQera Die
expense for dresses in authorization
OF that amount of revenue: but it is
probable that she will realize nothing
more than the two weeks stipend she
has collected. AS to Miss Winters, she
may find an opening at the Grand. but
just how the remaining members of the
company will dispose of themselves
will develop later.
The closing Of the Lyceum is not a
matter of great surprise. 1t was more
Of a problem Why it should have
opened its doors to compete with the
Grand in a line of business for which
the size Of the Lyceum was not
adapted. There is a definite demand
for a cheap amusement place, where
the admission ranges from Is to 25
cents but for higher priced entertain
n,ents the market was already supplied
before this third house beckoned the
public to come to its support.
No very definite plans seem to have
been arranged for the future at the
Lyceum, but it is probable that the
house will be open for contracts with
travelling organizations of a class that
cannot get dates at the theatre, and
thus the little house may still have
its sphere in local theatricals.
Palmer's "Trilby" was the attrac-
ton at the theatre yesterday afternoon
and evening. the attendance being
rather light at the matinee but gener-
Gus at night.
