and the Callicottes came very close to
being wound up with it. The Herald
the other day stated that these people
had no right on earth to be playing
''Trilby," which is owned by A. NJ
Palmer, and intimated that there might
be trouble over the production. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Palmer has already
heard of the theft of his property, and
he yesterday wired Attorney Barlow
Ferguson to have an Injunction placed
On the Callicottes. Mr.. Ferguson
fore the papers could be issued it was
necessary to ascertain something about
the copyright by wire from New York.
No answer could be obtained in time to
stop last nights production, so the
run" of the piece was not interfered
with. Should the Callicottes, however,
attempt to produce it elsewhere in
Utah, Mr.. Ferguson will be on their
trail instanter. AT the next session
of congress there is every probability
of law passing making play piracy
a jailable offense.
At the Lyceum this week there will

pills were Ada Dwyer Russell, Bishop
Whitney, Governor Wells and others
who have acquired local fame as ora
tors, actors and reclters. Prof. Hamill
says of Bryan: ''It was in 1878 that
Bryan first came into one of my classes.
He was a good student but an awkward
speaker, though keen and logical in
thought. Eiocution seemed to be the
one thing in which Bryan desired to
excel.
Many young men with more appar-
ent talent would have been discouraged
and never have made an effort to be-
come a public speaker"

If this is true, and they have the pro-

of its part of the entertainment.
Probably the first thing of any note
we shall have at the theatre, will be
the Empire theatre stock company,
which will call after it's visit to San
Francisco. Viola Allen heads the la
dies as of yore: the familiar face of
Henry Miller will be lacking, but in his
stead comes Dodson, the newest leading
man, who is said to be decidedly in
vogue in the metropolis.
George E. Lask sends us from San
