This is the cast of Queens Evil
dence," the sensational play which
forms the bill at the Lyceum for the
coming week. The management say
they have felt the pulse of the public
thoroughly, and have now ascertained
that it is nelodrama it wants; hence
forth, therefore, comedy will find
resting place no more on the stage at
the Lyceum, which is to be known as
the home of the sensational. Queen
Evidence by the way is one Of the old
time successes of the Home Dramatic;
in it Governor Wells made one of his
SS-ANS' -
part which for some reason, will be
essayed under the name of Solomon
Isaacs by Mr.. Williams.
It is pretty well known that Paderew-
ski was disappointed with his reception
in this city. less with the monetary
part of it, than the den.orstrative. He
has been so accustomed to having peo-
pie PROSTATE themselves before him,
q ho Il I,n
meanor of an audience which merely
listened breathlessly and gave him
hearty applause. He said to Mr..
Stephens that he feared he had come
to Salt Lake fifteen years too soon. Mr..
Stephens attempted to reassure him by
saying that while his music was rather
heavy, yet the audience had enjoyed it,
and they had shown a great deal more
appreciation for him than they had for
1saye. Great 20 was the mournful
response, what must poor Ysaye have
done?"
1t will be news to many to read that
Modjeska was instrumental in introduce
ing the famous Polish pianist into the
musical world. When in Poland, some
years ago, Nodjeska met and heard
Paderewski and recognized his genius.
She advised him to continue studying
and advanced a large sum of money for
his education on the piano. Modjeska,
modest and unassumipg, has not
breathed a word of this, but PadereW-
ski does not make a secret of this
great kindness shown him by his coun-
try woman.
The third and last of the series of
concerts arranged for the benefit of the
tabernacle choir California excursion
fund, will occur at the tabernacle Fri
day evening next. Mr.. Stephens has
arranged a fine programme, and a fea-
ture which is expected to prove a
strong attraction will be the drawing
of the holders of season tickets for a
free ticket to California and return
The choir also gives a concert during
conference, which will probably be
their farewell
Harry Corson Clarke, Charlotte Tit
tell. Wallace Munro and several other
Thespians who are spending their ''at
liberty season in Salt Lake, have been
invited to render a triple bill at the
Murray opera house this week, and
two car loads of friends will accom-
pany them over the Rapid Transit, and
a full house is guaranteed them. They
will render zone Touch of Nature

Eliason 1.-The Mormon Magician" is
back from his eight weeks expert
mental tour in the middle western
states. 1t has proven so much of
success that he has signed a five years
contract to go into the profession and
W. w. Tillottson, his manager, has
gone to New York to book a forty
weeks tour through Klaw and Erlan-
ger.
This was EIiason's first appearance
east of the Rocky mountains and it is
gratifying to say that he was we'll re-
ceived everywhere. In this connection
it is interesting to note that Eliason
followed Hermann closely at Colorado
Springs, Col, La Sale, Ills, and Da-
venport, Ia, in the same theatres. The
critics at these places gave him most
hattering notices, prOnouncing him the
rival of Hermann and some said Gle was
the superior of the elder necromancer.
Eliason will start out on his tour
next August with an entirely new out
fit and new features. He will give two
or three performances here as a fare
well.
Mr.. tombstone, the enterprising man
ager Of Ysaye, has been writing Mr..
Burton, asking on what terms the great
Seidl orchestra and Saumet could be
booked here in May. 1t is to be hoped
the arrangements can be made as Seidl
is today in New York far in advance
of what Theodore Thomas was ten
years ago.
Her townsfolk knew that Maude
Adams occupied a high place in the
estimation of New York cities, but they
were hardly prepared for an outburst
like this, which appeared in last Sun
days World: John Drew and his ad-
mirable company in THE Squire of
Danes" are attracting large and fash
ionable audiences to the Garrick
theatre. During his present engage
ment Mr.. Drew will be seen in a new
play. Until then Mr.. Drew will silt
coldly around the stage in the Squire
of Danes" and Miss Adams will carry
the piece, as she has all the other
pieces in which Mr.. Drew has made
his great successes" Better one per-
Torrance by Maud, Adams than a
cycle of John Drew!
The Chicago Lady quartette, which
appears at the Congregational church
on the 18th or 18th, under the auspices
of the Or0heuss club is now to11rin o.
