ried programme, rather long, but en-
tertaining, and when r.Warde stepped
on the stage he had SO big a reception
0hat he was FORCED to make a speech.
which he did in very neat order. Harry

Goddard, the baritone, Mrs. McNally,
Mrs. Fisher, Mr.. Beesley, Mrs. Ed
wards, Mr.. Tooker and MessrS. Spen-
Ger, Pypsr, Patrick and Whitney all

lean Girl will appear at the Salt Lake

Grafton Donnelly, author of Natural
Cas- Hallen and Harris Later On"
Darkest Russia" and the successful
opera ship Ahoyr' and other success
full plays. The play is a new one here,
but it has been a success everywhere
it has been produced. 1t had a run
of four weeks in San Francisco, playing
at Mr.. Hayman's California theatre,
and his Marquam Grand in Portland,
Oregon, and the western circuit.
The following is from the Oregonian,
Portland, Oregon: H. Grafton Donnel-
ly has written a really good play, pre-
scented at the Marquam Grand theatre
last night by ]. P. Howes excellent
company. Both the play and company
made a decided hit. The play is one of
wholesome sentiment and reflects the
shadows and sunshine of life in ma
tural colorS. In the unfolding OF the
events the better sentiments OF human
nature are stirred, and there is natural
sympathy with the nobility of charac-
ter of an American Girl, who stands
on her native dignity, asserting her
womanhood una dashed in the presence
of titled pretense. There is pretty
Dict that does not drag through the
nurlieus of vice, but shows to what
length intrigue and baff1ed love may
go.
ST. MARKS RALL-This evening at
ST. Marks hall the grand sacred con-
cert for the benefit Of the Lutheran
church will take place, the following
artists taking part: Mrs. Anna Col

separate photographs, there being IA
of the chorus proper and twenty-five
soloists; also groups of the Bel Canto
and Cecilia clubs and the glee club;
views of the temple and tabernacle,
and the interior of the tabernacle,

work can be gained from the fact that
there were nearly fifteen dozen photos
on each frame-a total of over two
thousand prints Mr.. Edeson of the
Grand, who is an old-time manager,
considers these stands the most at
tractive of any advertising which
could be done for such a mammoth

credit is due to Miss Mabel Brain for
the artistic arrangement of the photos,
