Salt Lake City. Dec. 5.
Dear Hal:-The seven days which
have elapsed since last addressed you
have not been distinguished by any
startling event in the world of amuse-
ments. The Young Ladies Aid society
after its three very clever performances
last week found itself in the condition
which confronted the society lady in
THE Charity Ball." or THE Wife" I
forget which; the performance was a
a grand success, the houses were i'm
mense, but the ducats that ought to
have been earned for the widows and
orphans had TO go out for rent, adj
Vertising, orchestra and salaries. So
what was left was literally a widows
mite. Under these circumstances the
young ladies buckled to, forced every
one concerned to work for nothing
though happily, everyone submitted
very gracefully to being fOrced-tnreW
open the house at so and % cents,
and made HANDSOME success out of
reputation of the Pirates Friday
night. 1t was verv unprofessional and
very unmanageria1. perhaps. to first
bleed your public dollar, and then
when you've got his dollar safe, open
you house at half price, but no one
complained, and the repetition was
more delightful than the original. That
delightful song bird, Miss Savage,
again warbled her way into our hearts,
and even thawed out Lieutenant jerks
into a respectable sort of lover. His
advancement has been remarka BILE.
All the others, including the chorus,
were heartily enjoyable as ever. Let
US hope we have not seen the last of
them.
They have had another blue week
down at the Grand. Time was, in the
honored days when Port Rockwell
awoke the main street echoes with his
cry of AL wheat" when folks took
their knitting to the theatre, when the
boxoffice accepted dried peaches and
yarn in lieu of coin of the realm-that
- Womans Power would have
thrilled all beholders and silenced all
criticism. In those good old days when
the muse was young and giddy, and
every foot Of dramatic soil green and
virgin, we would not have thought it
ali out of the ordinary for a young
woman to so out into the street, pick
up the nearest vagabond, ask him to
marry her, and forever after remain
silent. Now such happening rather
makes the stalls and boxes yaWn. It's
true it was Julia Dean Hayne who
used to ask us to accept that episode as
gospel, and now it's only pretty, little,

Nordica's interests, received letter
from Professor Houseley of Denver
yesterday, informing him that the re-
ceipts for the first two days sales
there amounted to 1915, an astonishing
figure, with the concert three weeks
off. Professor Houseley and his famous
chorus are to appear with Nordica,
just as Stephens and his choir will do
here. Mr.. Stephens says a scene from
"Cavalleria Rusticana," by Nordica
and the choir, will be one of the lead
ing features of the concert here. The
advance sale is to be held at Calders,
and the prices will be $3.50 and 81. The
date of the sale is not yet fixed.
With the compliments of T. D. Fraw-
ley we have received a copy of the
Honolulu Commercial Advertiser of
Nov. q. The paper is an eight-page
sheet, somewhat countrifed in ap-
pearance, but decidedly metropolitan
in the attention it bestows on theat-
ricalS. A full page is devoted to pic
lures of the Frawley company, and a
review of The Wife," THE Two Es-
cutcheons" and The Lost Paradise, ="
which the company rendered the first
week of their stay. They opened a
new opera house and business was i'm
mense. Mr.. Frawley and his clevx,
group of players, which includes Harry
Clarke and Madge Cook, leave Homo
lulu on the 10th and open for the holt
day weeks at the Columbia theatre in
San Francisco, working their way to-
wards Salt Lake later on.

NORDICA.
The Gifted Singer Who VIII Appear
Here Christmas Night.

The name of Madame Lillian Nor
dica is certainly a name to conjure
with throughout the whole civilized
world, and America may well be proud
of producing so illustrious a singer.
The career of this artist affords ma
terial for most interesting study and
proves what has so often been as
serted by those who ought to know,
that mere talent without PERSISTENT
and continuous hard work will rarely
or never succeed. Madame NOrdica,
although endowed with phenomenal
voice and charming stage presence,
found no royal road to fame. and her
enviab bile reputation is the result of in
born talent of the highest order de-
velOped and matured by indomitaDle
perseverance and unceasing effort,
which now commands the admiration
of the whole civilized world. The old
saying 1T is an i'll wind that blows no
good" may well be applied to the case
of Madame Nordica's nOn-appearance
at the Metropolitan Opera House this
season.
New Workers will keenly feel the
"ill-wind" of misfortune in being de-
barred from listening to our greatest
singer and actress, while we western
ers will have a rare chance of enjoy
ing what so seldom can be obtained in
our far-away countryside opportunity
to listen to the greatest singer of mod
ern times. Madame NOrdica's high
spirit would not brook the implied SUI
periority of the foreign favorites, who
imagine that they have a monopoly OF
the hOnors and pecuniary emoluments
of both hemispheres, and she very
wisely refused to submit to their die
tation, and without any hesitation
changed her field of action. On the
occasion of her visit to this city, Salt
Lake will surely prove its right TO its
name, THE Musical City of the West"
by giving Nordica a royal reception.

DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.

NOTICE.-To the Ladies and Gentle
men of the Grand Opera House Stock
Company:
very much regret that we are no
longer able to continue the season
which began September %, 1896. The
last performance of the company Will,
therefore, take place Saturday evening,
December 5. JOHN r. ROGERS,
Manager.
This is the notice which was posted
on the call board on the stage of the
Grand yesterday afternoon. The call
board is the place from whence all
members of the theatrical COMPANY
obtain their information of changes of
bill. rehearSalS, etc, and When instead
of the customary notice of MONDAY
rehearsal on the new play, this an
nouncement confronted the company
yesterday, their sensations NAV De
better imagined than described.
Manager Rogers, when seen by a
Herald representative, confirmed the
announcement and spoke very regret
fully of the necessity for making it.
I'VE are over $1,000 short on the sea-
son already" he said, and we have
made uD our minds to stop before we
are involved any further. It is with
the most intense regret that | make
this step, but it is unavoidable. l par
ticularly regret it on account of the
ladies and gentlemen of the company
who expected a seasons engagement. 1t
has seemed impossible to please the
public or the press; where the fault lies
| am unable to say, as we have worked
hard to give the people a high class of
entertainment at cheap rates. But
business has been very bad from the
start, except during the week when
Royle's play was produced, and the
biggest share of the profits then went
to Mr. Royle under the contract"
Mr. Rogers further said he had made
no plans, and he did not know what

scheme was the first to be given up.

The plan was for the opera COM
pany to have a season each year in
London and a season in America, and,
as the theatre was not to be ready SO
soon as the company, it was arranged
that the start should be made in
America When it proved that the
opera house never was to be ready.
the American season became the chief
object. The financial backing was
vested in an English corporation Of
supposedly untold wealth. Colonel
Mapleson is quoted as expressing sur
prise that the company got tired of a
little thing like the loss of from $4,000
to $4,000 week. The remark is char
acteristic CT the colonel

A dispatch from New York to The
Herald, in reference to the failure of
the Mapleson Imperial Opera company.
says: There were probably more
people to whom the news of the break
ing up of Colonel Mapleson's new I'm
perial Opera company in Boston was a
cause of regret than to whom it was a
cause of surprise. 1t was not generally
expected by the time the company
was fairly started on it's engagement
here, that it would be a financial sue
cess. 1t was rumored, indeed, that
the company would not leave New
York, but it went to Philadelphia and
then to Boston, and there it has
closed it's career, unless the resourceful
colonel succeeds in patching things to-
gether so as to take the singers, or
some of them. TO Mexico.

Opera company We're first promulgated

A Great show

Packed, crowded, jammed was
the condition of the circus tent
last night at the big benefit per-
Torrance given for the Kapiolani
Maternity Home and the Y. IL. L.
Fully seventeen hundred people
witnessed the twenty four regular
and four extra items on the pro-
gram, which was not only the
longest but the best given yet. 1t
is estimated that the two benevol-
ent institutions cleared at least
$1400 and the managers faces bore
signs of extreme satisfaction as
the vast audience poured into the
tent. Every member of Wirth's
circus company endeavored to ex-
coed their former excellence and
succeeded. The children all did
splendidly. Muriel Wirth per
formed her difficult feats on the
high wire and beautiful serpentine
dance in a charming manner
which elected thunders of APP
plause as did Elsie's trapeze act
and Katie's tumbling. Kachil
and Take also did we'll, the former
being presented with handsome
watch by his Honolulu friends on
account of his bravery at Waikiki.
The singing of Hawaiian airs by
the two glee clubs was beautiful
and the clown scored big hit.
Burns, Alberto, Hayes, st. Leon,
Montgomery and all the ladies
excelled their fine performing of
previous nights and Lahl Sing
did some very difficult riding on
the two Hawaiian horses. Miss
Lyndhurst never rode so well
before.
Prof. Berger and the big band
discoursed several fine pieces
which were much appreciated.
