maAFed by his intolerable nuisance.
WeSadmit that we are bored by it,
n yet at the same time, we appar-
emily make no move whereby we
might be relieved of it.
Meanwhile, the -self-satisfed artistic
devoutly folds his hands. divests him
self of all blame in the matter, and re-
ligiously places it upon the clamorous
audience.
The artistic says, the audience de-
mands an encore, they cIamor for the
repetition Of a number, and then there
reS1alns nothing for us to do but to go
o8cn~and sing. If We fail to do this
our behavior is denounced as disagree
able.
This sounds. and is, plausible and
somewhat difficult TO answer. OF

1T stands to reason that an audianoe

repetition of anything that is pleasing
TO them. but the fault lies with the
artistic and not with the audience. IF
IN acknowledgment TO one or two re-

audiehce think of this?
The more painfully amateurish an
artist is. the more promptly he will
respond to this obnoxious encore
craze. The more strictly professional
he Is. the more he will combat it bv
e decided but courteous refusal. The
audience clamors for an encore be-
cause it knows the artist has come
prepared to give one, and feels that
1t is only doing Wha is expected of
1t; but nevertheless it is clamoring
for that which it does not want.
We are Informed that there is a
likelihood of the Butte Opera company
visiting our city for a short engage
menp during the month of JULY. This
company is composed of fifty people.
~ amateurs under the direction of
KIT. S. H. TrelOar. The management
of this concern lies with Messrs. !
Lane and Dwyer, the latter an old
Salt Lake boy, who is well remem-
bered here. Gauke's famous ladies or
cnestra with eight in-strumentalists
viii also accompany them. This fea-
ture in itself will be quite a novelty

be included in their repertoire of op-
eras to be given here, with one or

clippings received from Great Falls
and Helena, this company is rated very
highly. Their performances were de-
noted as being singulariy artistic and

er, the management of the Grand
opera house have concluded to SUBJ

NEXT of the Pyke Opera. company,
end the public viii therefore be, or
Monday, presented with a revival Of
II. NJ. 5. Pinafore," with special
scenery and new costumes.
1t is unnecessary to say a word
out "Pinafore.' Every school girl
knows its music by heart, and for that
reason, if no other, it should be given.
It is perennial and never loses its
freshness and charm.
"Pinafore' was first produced III
America at the Boston museum in the
winter OF 1873, with Marie Wainwright
as the Josephine. Two weeks later,
the second production was presented
at the Academy of Music, Montreal,
with Louise Manfred as Josephine
and Digby Bell as Sir Joseph. Mrs.
Pyke can, therefore, be to be
identified with the life Of "Pinafore"
in this country. Next week, Mrs.
Pyke viii Play Josephine; Al Leech,
Sir Joseph Porter; Winfield Blake,
Dick Deadeye; c.. NJ: Pike, captain
Corcoran; Arthur Boyce, Ralph; and
Helene Salinger, Little Buttercup.
With such q cast, the piece ought to
be a go.
Miss Babcock's '.Eleusinia" will be !
repeated at the theatre next Thurs {
day, the performance being given for s
the benefit of the Utah kindergarten !

of Miss Babcock. The scenes are laid [
in the long ago; just when, no one can t
