and so cents and an effort made to
pack the building for school child
rens day. Paderewski's advance

Mr.. Burton had the Madame Tavary
/ Opera company booked for a week in
March, but not desiring to run against
( Paderewski or Sousa, he induced Mr.
4 Pratt QaGt here as manager of Emma
1 Abbot) to cancel March 5, and Z to
/ give the tabernacle a clear field. Mr..
! Burton was accordingly rather exas-
/ perated to be told that Paderewski had
4 changed his date from the 5th to the
+ 4th. which will put him in conflict
with Tavary's last night at the theatre.
! What Mr.. Pratt's new star will charge
/ is not as yet known, but as her COM
pany is a very heavy one, people may
! as well be making UP their minds for
! a handsome advance. Paderewski's
! rates will be 50 everywhere upstairs,
/ $3.50 downstairs in the center, and 81
! on the sides. Sousa will adhere to
popular prices.
Wallace Munro will '1ay off" from
the Lyceum, and by way of filling time
in Salt Lake Che is manager for Miss
TittelD he will initiate a number of
society ladies into the circus craze
This is a fad which elsewhere has been
taken up by society even more vigor-
ously than the ladies' minstrel notion.
Mr.. Munro will teach a number of
ladies how to ride, train the horses
himself and in all probability give the
entertainment under the auspices of
the Woman's exchange in the EXPOSE

struck it lucky at last. He
has tumbled into the position of
leading man at Daly's, right
into John Drew's shoes in fact
and is now playing with Ada Rehan
The papers give him very good no
tees and the World introduces him
with the following anecdote: Charles
j. Richman, the new leading man at
Days theatre, has been on the stage
engagements the manager concluded
he was not playing the leading part for
all there was in it. and accordingly
dispensed with Richman's services.
The actor returned to New York and
after while applied to Carrie Tur
ner for the position of leading man for
her forthcoming starring tour. Miss
Turner liked the young mans appear
ance and questioned him as to his eX-
perience. Richman told her what COM
panies he had been with and what
parts he had played.
why did you leave Across the Po-
tomac?'" asked Miss Turner.
Il didn't leave at all" replied Rich
man with the refreshing candor that
is characteristic of him; II was dis
charged for incompetency."
What" gasped Miss Turner, as
founded at such frankness, which
promptly aroused her sympathy. Then
recovering her equanimity she contin-
ued: Il guess you'll do, young man.
You can consider yourself engaged at

Old man Stoddart's reception in New
York on the night of Thursday, Jan 80,
the sixty-third anniversary of his ap-
pearance on the stage, was one the
memory of which he will carry to his
grave. The house was packed. The
Mirror account says: -
