! Speaking of the tabernacle choir, Mr..
| Stephens has arranged the grandest
musical spring festival for March. 1896.
! that Salt Lake has yet seen. This is
a series of three performances, in
which the world famous Paderewski
will appear one night, and Sousa's
band the next night and the following
afternoon. All the events will be I'M
der the auspices of the tabernacle
choir, which will also take part in the
night programmes. The Saturday after
noon affair will be a huge popular
tabernacle matinee for juveniles, one
thousand of whom will sing with the
great Sousa's band. 1t is probable
that railroad rates will be made from
Idaho and Montana points, and that
large delegations will come down
from Butte and Helena. 1t is
not generally known that a
number of people Travelled from
J Salt Lake to Denver merely to hear
| Paderewsl6i; and when our northern
! friends can see and hear the long
! haired phenomenon and have Sousa's
! band thrown in at the same time, they
! are apt to flock to Salt Lake to signal
! iZe the event.
Willard Weihe is laboring very am
J bitiously and industriously at the
head of the Grand orchestra, and for
4 the coming week he has arranged a
/ programme which he thinks will strike
! his audiences as about the best thing
he has put forth. One of the features
will be the rendition of 1.-THE Village

on Friday and Saturday evenings we
I shall have a burnt cork performance

have been able to ascertain Of the
event is that it will closely follow the
regular lines of minstrelsy; that the
ladies will all undoubtedly black
up and that they have been under
going coaching for some time at the
hands of the gentleman who staged
the successful Brownies for Miss Long

to say that the Free List Suspended"

! Governor-elect-Wel who, as all his
| friends know, is a better actor than
a speaker, received some warm tele-
grams of congratulation from theatri-
cal friends in the east. Among them
was one from Harold Russell, now
leading man of the Madam Sans
Gene" company in Cincinnati, who
wired, Hail to Utalh's new governor;

1t is said he is not aware what play
Georgia Cayvan has secured for her
starring tour or what sort of part he
will have in it. The New York papers
just git hand say that Miss Cayvan
has purchased the American rights in

been running for some time at the
Court Theatre, London. In this piece
the leading lady is supposed to have
attained the age Of so. Miss Cayvan
will have the age limit reduced all

wants to know why in Paul Potter's
dramatization of "Trilby," where all
the characters are supposed to be

assume an accent when her fellow
players do not. Mr.. Potter can proba-

Potter assumes a French accent in
playing the leading part in Francillon,
/ although all the others in the cast
also French-speak a perfect English.
