These are the casts of "Queena" and
"Niobe, the bills in which the present
Grand company will say farewell to
Salt Lake. Each play will be done
three nights, and the cast in each is the
same as when it made its pronounced
original hit, with the exception of a
slight change necessitated by the alb
sence of Mr.. Warde. Mr.. Edeson has
his part in "Queena-"
Anything with the Hoyt stamp al
ways goes" in Salt Lake, and the adj
vance advertising "A Milk White Flag
has received is sure to help it, even
though it does follow after Mansield's
four nights run. Hoyt's greatest IA
cility, aside from writing spicy dia-
logue and creating ludicrous situa-
tons, is the unusually happy way he
has of discovering new and odd types
of character, or else taking types IA
miliar TO everybody and subjecting
them to a regenerating process which
makes them appear like some new dis
covery. In "A Milk White Flag it is
the gayly caparisoned militia boys to
whom Mr.. Hoyt has devoted his at
tention, and the manner in which those
well known individuals have been
treated is continued evidence of his
originality. There is said to be a spirit
and dash in "A Milk White Flag
which begins in the first act and runs
riot throughout the whole entertain
ment. To provide this it has been nee
essary to employ clever company.
Frank Lawton is the recipient of
rounds after rounds of applause wher-
ever the production has been seen. His
representation of the private, Gideon
Foote, hired man, is extremely anus
ing. He is a dancer of unusual ability.
and his whistling speciality in the last
act is said to be one ,of the
features of the performance One
would not think there were
many laughs to be gotten out of a flu
neral, but funeral forms one of the
main themes of the play. No one but
Hoyt. would dare employ humor like
the lSSewing: Although it seems i'm
poSSlblesS5au can extract no end of fun
cut of funeral if you are in the mood
for 1t. Just imagine that the corpse
has no trousers on, the widow being
so mean that she does not propose to
waste a pair of garments when the
body is seen no further down than
the waist. Allow your imagination to
carry you still further to the CONVEX
sation the widow has with the under
taker. The gentleman in black has
said what first-class burial would
cost-SS00. Ridiculous says the
widow. Why, he only weighed 1872
pounds, and a dollar pound should
be ample" 1--WE do not bury them by
the pound" says the undertaken, but

For the remainder of the week. and
until their train rolls out of the Rio
Grande depot on the morning of the
13th-may the date be ominous only of
goods luck-the Tabernacle choir and
their California chorus will engross
the entire attention of musical circles.
1t is assured now that there will be
more than 800 people in the company
and seven large sized Pullman cars
or eight smaller ones will be required
to transport the party. The train runs
as a special all the way, and in every
respect it will be managed in a style
fitting the great body of singers who
occupy it. and the community they rep

in the Congregational church, Oakland,
