make his success the less remarkable,

Eleanor Barry succeeds Edith Crane
as Trilby. She left last week for San
Francisco, and made her first appear
anee in the part last night.
From this paragraph, which we find
in this weeks Mirror, and another i'll
relation to Miss Crane. given below,
we assume that Salt Lake will see a
new Trilby as we'll as a new Svengali-
The company, which has had very
successful season in San Francisco, ap-
pears here Wednesday evening for one

There have been several efforts to
produce the noted play of my Part |
ner' in this city since Aldrich and Par
sloe presented it years ago, but no one
tas ever succeeded. Managers Rogers
has acquired the manuscript at last, |
and by payment of a stiff royalty he |
win put on the piece tomorrow night !
with the above cast. Louis Aldrich's |
role Will be played by Edwards, while |
the Chinaman, which made the fame |
of the late Charles T. Parsioe, sill fall |
to Blakemore. People should not con-
fuse this play with Partners" once
given here by the Palmer company with |
Marie Burroughs and Salvini in the |
ledsling parts. my Partner" is a
western drama after the order of Bret |
Harte's plays. am the scene is laid in
a mining camp near Mount Shasta, Cal. |
Miss Marshall the new member OF the |
company, will make her first appear
ance tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night, and for two sue
ceeding nights. there will be seen at
the Lyceum the most notable attrac- |
ton which that house has yet secured. |
Schillings' MINISTRIES is an organization |
which has played here regularly for
years, but the present season is the |
first time it has appeared at popular
prices, and it will probably do a large !
business at reduced rates of admission. |
This is also the only minstrel troupe |
which will be seen in Salt Lake until |
late next spring. About the only cid |
feature retained is the acrobatic act of |
the La Rose brothers, who will be re-
membered through their appearance at |
Saltair last summer in the Carnival
of Madrid
When Maude Adams and her mother
were last in this city, the writer ques-
toned them in reference TO the fire.
quent rumors heard about her starring |
tour. but both said that was an event |
a long way in the future. The time
has now evidently been set for next
September, for, according to the New |
York papers, Charles Frohman has
signed Miss Adams for three years
starring tour, opening in that month, in
what play is not stated. The Herald
says:
Miss Adams viii have new plays, of
nate in fitting her with dramatic and
comedy material as he has been with
Mr.. Drew, the young lady's admirers
and she has hosts of them in the me-
tropolis, as well as in all important
theatrical centers-will have the pleas
ure of seeing her in some interesting
and noteworthy characters. She will
appear in New York for extended en-
gagements, as does Mr.. Drew, and will
be seen either at the Empire or Garrick
theater. Her supporting company will
be selected from the ample Frohman
forces. Who is to be her leading man
is not yet settled upon.
with the exception of her infantile
ventures on the stage, nearly all of
Miss Adams theatrical experience has
been acquired under Charles Frohman's
management. One night nine years ago
he dropped into the Star theater during
a performance of THE PaymaSter,"
which was playing there in an interval
between more important productions,
and found himself wondering at and
admiring the cleverness of a young girl
in the cast. He was surprised TO find
that the young girl who was playing
the part in long dresses he had seen
in her mothers home in San Francisco
only the year before in short skirts
OFF the stage Maud was wearing short
dresses still He was then forming the
members of the stock company, which
he organized a little later, and he en-
gagged her"

George D. Pyper writes from st.
Louis to a friend here that the two
most interesting events he has wit
messed since mis- departure from home,
were the meeting which Bryan adj
dressed in that city, at which 10000
people went temporarily mad with ex
element, and the oJening Of the eX
position where Gilmore's famous old
band, under its new leader, Victor Her
bert, was introduced. The gentleman
who made the speech said:
Let US so back a few years, in
thought, and see how the events of that
time compare with the present. What
have we here tonight? Why, the OPEN
ing of our grand and glorious EXPOSE
ton. What else have we? We have
band upon the stage of Music
hall. But YOU all believe that the
dearest, the most respected and highest
esteemed member of this band is miss
ing. No. ladies and gentlemen, he is
not missing, He is here with us to-
night There he is
