ACTRESSES WHO CAN'T ACT.

Actresses who can't act were per-
haps never more numerous than they
are now" said one Of our best dra-
matte critics little time since. 'They
have pretty faces charming figures
and can smile most tchingly-what
more can the most eXacting play-goer
require?" In like way, Charles Mat
thews, writing in 1875 to country
manager, said: From my experience
Of provincial managers 1 should say
that young and pretty woman who
can't act and who knows she can't is
an acquisition, particularly when she
wants no salary for her ignorance.
Now, such a one my son asks me to Of
fer you. The lady Is clever off the
stage and has the advantages 1 have
named above, and he gives me his
word of honor that, so far as he
knows, she can't act a bit, and looks
upon a salary the first season as posi-
lively nauseous. She is anxious to
come to your theatre and show her
ineffciency Or anything else the pub
lie may require. She may be a genius
or a duffer; she doesn't know what she
can do, being like the man who didn't
know whether he could play the fiddle
or not, having never tried. She wishes,
at any rate, to put her foot on the
stage, which generally means putting
her foot in it, VIII you give her
trial? If she turns out worth anything
I pledge myself to remove her at the
earliest opportunity. If not, you are
welcome to her so long as you find her
thoroughly incapable. '-Shakespearian

The Salt Lake Musicians association
gave their second annual concert and
ball last night at Christensen's hall. A
Ialr sized company of devotees of the
divine art were present and a very
successful and pleasant evening was
spent. The entertainment began with
dancing, but this was interrupted at
about II o'clock for an excellent mu-
steal programme, which added pleasure
and variety to the entertainment.
The large orchestra began with
Polish selection. which was greeted
with warm applause. John P. Meakin
read an excellent paper dealing with
the aims, growth and attachments of
the association and ended with a reci-
tation as to a musical tramp, which
was given with his usual polish and
grace. Willard Weihe gave one of his
matchless violin solos and long ap-
plause greeted Utah's favorite violin
list.
The final numbers were a piano solo
by Professor Krouse and a selection
on the cornet by A. S. Zimmerman,
both of which were received with en-
thusiasm.
All then gave their attention to dane
ing, which was the attraction for the
remainder of the pleasant evening.

gaging the attention of Secretary Her.

Congress for authority to accept all
Of the bids at cnce. Inasmuch as the

to build two more battle ships, the
proposition would not be as radical as
might at first appear, for it would real
~ amount to the authorization of only
one ship more than provision was ex-
