At the Lyceum we are to have
what do you 'Trilby. The
company will be new throughout, head
ed by the Callicottes, who come hushed
with the triumph of eight weeks in
Pueblo. Manager Gates still says he
has the coolest place in town in which
to pass an evening.
The theatre employees, whose annual
ball is always a feature of the season,
are at the head of the mask carnival
to be given at Saltair Wednesday
evening next. Three hundred and fifty
dollars will be distributed in prizes to
the various characters, 500 being the
first.
AS The Herald predicted, Mr.. Charles
E. Evans is having hard time to
Frank Mayo. A recent paragraph says:
Manager Charles E. Evans has secured
complete control of the late Frank
Nayos play, ''Pudd'n Head Wilson"
The task of selecting the actor who is
to play this important role next season
is in the hands of Manager Mann. 1t
offers a great opportunity to win dis
tinction, and the most eXacting care
is being exercised in weighing the
qualities of the various actors who
have applied for the part. The one
who gets it will have to play the part
before he secures the Engagement.
This is somewhat opposed to the usual
mode of making engagements, but the
chance which it offers for winning
enduring success is worth a great deal
more than the mere breach of pro-
fessional usage. Among the candidates
for the place are Mckee Rankin, Odell
Williams, Louis Aldridce, Frank C.
Bangs and Harry E. Dixey.
Maurice Barrymore will make his
first appearance as a star next season
in mis- own play, Roaring Dick & Co."
at Palmer's theatre, on November Is.
The play offers opportunities for a
production with striking and big
effects. The hero is a sort of unpol-
ished Captain Swift, and is splendidly
adapted to the popular actors engag-
ing personality. No one can measure
the possible financial success of a new
play, but there is scarcely a doubt in
the minds of those who have heard the
play read that its literary and dramatic
merit will reflect great credit on the
witty and gifted author.
A good many Salt Lakers will re-
here with the Pyke Opera company,
and also appeared with Miss Bateman
in School, The following paragraph
from the Call tells that she is making
her way upward:
Miss Hortense Nelson, the sister of
Alice Nelson, of the Bostonians, Is
not the least of this galaxy of theatre
cal stars near the horizon. She has
secured an engagement with the COM
pany Of Rich and Harris, the Boston
Comedy company. She will have a
prominent part in The Night Clerk
The biggest thing looming up in the
way of amusements in the close fu-
ture, is THE Carnival Of Madrid" to
be produced at Saltair next month
The projectors and managers are the
national Predetermined Spectacular
company, Of Boston, and the show pro-
missed is the same one that has been
given at the Point of Pines, Mass, at
Bay Ridge and in Boston. Moorish
dancers, a troop of fifteen Bedouin
Arabs, aerial artists and several
novelty dancers are in the company.
Professor Talbot is chief pyrotechnist
and Frank Shendan the stage manager.
A grand stand capable of holding 900
people will be erected and the train ser
viz will ha or-1-r-1 40

Hugh j. Warde, who has been put
ting in two or three days with friends
in Salt Lake last night left for Den
yer. where he will join the stock COM
pany- at Ellitch's gardens MI Warde
made quite a success in San Francis
co and was about to sail for New York
by way of Panama, when he received
the offer which summoned him over
land eastward.
Up to last night, Mr.. Ashworth, who
IS to sing the tenor part in the mi
kado," and several members of the
chorus, had not seen score of the
opera The books were so late in ar
irving that postponement of the pro-
duction at Garfield has been rendered
imperative, and the date is now set
for the Goth. The delay is a wise move
Mr.. Blakemore should profit by the
example of the 'Pinafore" which was
not the big success it should have
been, because it was pushed upon the
stage without sufficient preparation.
Miss Truax should make a good Yum
Yum, and it goes without saying that
BlakeTnore will be an ideal Ko Ko. The
Garfield bowery is being overhauled to
make a proper outdoor theatre; the
stage will be in the east end; refresh
ments will be served at tables while
the opera is going on, Ia "Old vi
enna," and all the attendants will be
dressed in japanese costume.
AT saltair this afternoon, the K. of
P. band, 80 men strong, will give two
concerts between the hours of and G.
Professor Petersen is the leader, and
an attractive programme has been ar
ranged.
Mrs. Jennie Hawley Woodrow, one
of our foremost local singers, arrived
home yesterday afternoon after a pro-
longed stay in the east. Most Of her
time has been passed with friends and
relatives in Chicago. where she has
had the privilege during the past sea-
son of hearing the foremost operate
artists of the world in the great round
of opera produced by Abbey, Schoeffel
& Grau. Mrs. Woodrow says she has
no language to depict the splendors of
the productions she saw.
