cesses in operate parts. She will. nc
doubt, add another laurel to hel
wreath in this part. as it affords goo6
| opportunities for her talents. Miss
Martha Royle will have the female
comedy role of the piece. that of Res
ignation. Those who saw her in the
little operetta of THE Dress Rehears

tain no doubts of her success in this
character. as it is much on the same

| Mrs. Jennie Hawley-Woodrow viii
| play the part of Barbara, and she has
a number of very pretty and extremely
| catching songs. She will be remembered
best as Vladimir, in the "Fatinitza'
| production some time back. in which
part she has been compared to Jesse
Bartlett-Davis. The remainder of the
| female part of the cast will be in the
| hands of Mrs Newman and Miss Dollie
| Stopper, as Faith and Prudence. John
Alden will be sung by Mr.. George
! Piper. and Miles Standish by Mr.
John Robinson, neither one of whom
need any introduction to the Salt Lake
musical public.
The male comedy role will be in the
hands of Mr.. John Spencer. and in the
character Of Hatebad Higgins. he has
ample opportunities to prove that he
mas lost none of his cunning as a COM
edian of the very first rank
Mr. Dewitt Jennings will assume the
pass role of Governor Bradsford, and
! as he has had some practical expert
ence on the stage. he will no doubt, be
up to the standard set by the other
members of the cast. Mr.. George Yves
terveh plays the Indian, and though ne
mas not a word TO say throughout the
play. he is developing some good stage
business which will make his part
reminiscent of the famous Lone Fish
elman part in Evangeline.
The chorus is a select one. and num-
bers forty people. and altogether the
piece will. without doubt. be a rare
treat.
The Salt Lake Minstreis, who have
given some funny entertainments In
times gone by, are preparing to give
revival of aesthetic minstreisy at
the opera house for the benefit of the
Young Ladies' Aid society, We have
heard that the same dates have been
chosen for this entertainment as
those on which Priscilla will be
given at the theatre. We trust this
will not prove to be true as a conflict
of this kind would be far from saemly.
If we recollect Alright, d number of the
ladies and gentlemen who take lead
ing parts in Priscilla" have freely
given their services on other occasions
for the benefit Of the Young Ladies'
Aid society," and that organization can
scarcely lend countenance to compe-
tition of this sort We understand
that dates are to be had at the opera
house both before and after that will
not interfere with Priscilla
Next week. there will be completely
new features on both floors at Wonder
land. In the curio hail. the Lamar
brothers will appear in an act entitled,
SILENCE and Fun Ned and George
Nash, two rubber-legged boys perform
some grotesque acrobatic feats. Miss
Lawson will sing again, and Verno and
Williams. IRISH comedians. will give
some amusing specialities. Downstairs,
Prof. Anderson will attempt Eermann's
great Illusion. the Asiatic Trunk Mys-
terry. This performance will be well
worth seeing by every one.
Eliason will give the last of his
Soirees de AIagique at the Grand opera
again present his two greatest illu-
sions of After the BALI and Escaped
from Sing-Sing." besides a pleasantly
varied programme of magic and leger-
demain.
Mr. Eliason's season has been a most
successful one. and his work highly
appreciated by the large audiences at
tending each entertainment. His pro-
gress in his chosen profession is ex-
tremely gratifying to his friends and
admirers and equally satisfying to him
self from q financial point of view Mrs.
Eliason and Frank Eliason will be again
in assistance. whilst Willard Weihe will
discourse sweet music through the eve
ming.
Following the dramatic season some
vocal attractions will take possession
