The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-01-05

is playing in Oakland all this week
and comes back to the Columbia next
week. Steady prosperity accompanies
Frawley's venture, and he is in excel
lent favor here. He is very anxious
to put in week at Salt Lake with
such plays as The Senator" Lost
Paradise" and "Men and Women"
PaderewSki plays here to So a ticket
! and Sousa to $50. Salt Lake, there
fore, ought not to complain at paying
81 to hear the long haired genius and
| 81 to listen to the monarch of march
music.
We leave for Sacramento tomorrow
Thursday evening; close arrange
mentS there and take Fridays train
for home, arriving Saturday night or
Sunday morning. Although we have
not caught more than a glimpse of the
thousand attractions which make San
Francisco and its surroundings
paradise on earth at this season of
the year, yet we have seen enough to
promise the choir people who make
the trip that it will be the second red
letter event of their lives. Today,
January /, we have walked through
Golden Gate park and seen it all burst
ing into bloom and verdure, the scent
of the flowers and shrubs was hides
cribable; hundreds of bicyclists We're
riding in their shirtsleeves and in the
brilliant carriages that flashed by us
! many ladies had their parasols UP to
| keep off the suns rays. Ten or hf-
teen. thousand people were yelling over
the horse races near by; the scent OF
/ the flowers and shrubs was indeScriba-
bic. From an eminence not far away,
/ one could gaze down into the great
/ bay--one of the most beautiful in the
world-an6 see several great war
/ ships at anchor. and the whole surface
( of the calm waters dotted with big
ships, the colors of all nations flying
from their mastheadS, and smaller
white winged craft of all sorts and
sizes. The beautiful Cliff house, now
I reconstructed on a huge scale, the
/ seal rocks, the magnificent Sutro
/ Heights and the hideous attrac-
/ advertised to need describing, but
whatever one expects of them all, is
sure to be short of the reality. All in
all, it is sure to be such an event as
! the choir is justified in straining every
effort to bring to a successful issue.
H C. w.
/ Messrs. Stephens and Whitney re-
turned from their flying trip last
night. They are in excellent spirits
over their visit and think the choir
will not only enjoy a great time. but
do a fair business as we'll On their
way from San Francisco both gentle
/ men stopped off half a day in Sacra-
mento and made arrangements for
/ the first concert of the tour to be
! given in that city, either in the Congre-

A number of box parties are being
! planned for Romeo and Juliet" The
/ performances on Tuesday and Wednes-
/ day next promise to be the most bril-
liant yet given in amateur circles. Mr..
/ Haskell. who has been busy the past
week drilling the boys, brought the
costumes. which are magnificent, with
him from New York. There is to be a
corps de ballet" by. eight society
/ young men. which promises to be quite
a feature as to makeup and impersona-
! ton. The splendid reputation the
! Orpheus club has already gained for
musical excellence. and the we'll
known musical and dramatic tai

/ Mr.. Spencer and Mr.. Piper, is an as
