The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-04-19

The Grand and Lyceun had things
their own way, and in spite of the in
element weather. did a big business
every night, with the usual crowds
yesterday afternoon.
This week, however, the theatre will
have al least two attractions-tomor-
row night the University Of Michigan
Glee, Banjo and Mandolin club, and
on Wednesday night the lecture on
''Japan," by Frank G. Carpenter.
The lecture to be delivered next
"Wednesday evening at the Salt Lake
theatre by the noted newspaper CORE
spondent, Frank G. Carpenter, will
without any doubt be a grand literary
treat. The subject, Japan, or the
Yankees of the Orient is an attractive
one, and in The hands Of SO able
speaker and descriptive writer as Mr.
Carpenter cannot fail to be well worth
hearing. The lecture is under the aus
pices of the Salt Lake City Press club
for the benefit of the Pioneer library.
The ladies composing the library com
mittee lind it exceedingly hard work
TO keep that very praiseworthy and
necessary institution running, on &C
count of the lack Of funds. Especially
is this so since the city council has,
in pursuance OF its policy of econo-
MIXING, withdrawn the city's contri-
button Of 1888 per month, and il has
come to either closing the library or
raising funds elsewhere for It's sup
port. The Press club. realizing the adj
vantages to every city of good books,
wants to do something for the library,
and therefore made an agreement with
MIR. Carpenter. The club gets nothing
out of it. neither q percentage nor in
any other way, and after paying Mr..
Carpenter and the expenses the whole
of the proceeds viii be handed over
to the library committee.
The lecture itself which will be il
lustrs ted by stereopticon views, will be
worth a great deal more than the 80
cents admission, and those who attend
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that their money win be used for an
excellent Object.
Mr.. Carpenter is on a world lecture
tour and a few evenings ago delivered
this lecture in Omaha and the press
comments of that city were highly
complimentary.
Primrose &, Vests world famed
minstrels are booked fo- the Salt Lake
theatre on the evening Of April 80.
This is one of the strongest and high
est class entertainments of the kind
on the road and will present a good,
live, entertaining programme.
Frank Mayo. with his own edramatiza-
tion of "Pudd' nhead WILSON, will come
to the theatre next week. 1t will be
one Of the productions of the year, and
the success that has followed Mayo
wherever the play has been seen is
sure to be repeated here.
The Examiner last week, in a column
criticism of the production, said:
'Pudd'nhead Wilson" as produced
by Frank Mayo and his clever band, is
as ever footlignts were reflected upon.
1t is glimpse Of the past to all in
tents and purposes, for the utmost at
DENTON has been paid to costuming
and staging, and the characters move
elong so naturally and quietly that
one feels as if it were not q play at all,
but that people long dead were being
caused by some mysterious agency TO
troop before his vision
The performance of the University of
Michigan Glee. Banjo and Mandolin
clubs at the threatre will, no doubt,
bring out all Of the people in the city
who have been to college, and those
who may have sons and daughters
taking a university course 1t is the
aim Of all Of the larger colleges to
some time arrange to send their glee
ci7rhs out to the coast. AS travel now
tS the time allotted to the clubs for
their tours is not sufficient to cover
The ground at all profitably. AS a rule
the glee club trips are of two weeks
Duration and only the towns or cities
In the immediate vicinity of the col
le-e are PLAYED. The. University Of
michigan enjoys the advantage of be-
sng at least 1000 miles nearer the Pa
+c5fic. coast than any other large eastern
institution of the kind. Last year their
clubs played as far out as Denver
x and. having such a successful tour, de-
cided the last minute to include Salt
Lake city in their itinerary this year.
IS is patent to any one who is inter-
eeted sufficiently to observe, the trips
are wholly under the management of
4he students. To be chosen manager
&c no NEAR, honor This fact of the
rfanagement changing every year is
not conducive to the best results
fnaucially. As soon as one manager
IS well enough acquainted with the
t,usiness to do it successfully then it is
4ir1e for another election and the ex-
detrimental stage is gone through with
arain This in measure, accounts
for the fact that the regular printing
Of the clubs has not been received yet.
Thev are provided with a nice line Oh
printing and photographers Of the
clubs. but they probably nave been
Skinned by freight or overlooked al
so1efher. Theso trials have nothing
- do with the quality of the perform
nnce. however This year the U. of NJ.
r,l1,bs consist of forty young men chosen
fl, competitive examination from about
1000 students.
THE members are drawn from all Sec
sions of the country and among them is
s,renerallv found at least one virtuoso.
sR-hose who have had the opportunity
t,f hearing a college banjo club will
have a treat, those who have never
abad that chance will have revelation.
"a Is commonly supposed that there is
not much real music in banjo but
rrhen one hears overtureS, marches
and patrols played by the typical col
lege club for the first time he is al
least pleased, if not astonished.
The college glee club is "sui generis. y
One of it's chief characteristics is
that 4hetre is always included in its
roster one or two singing comedians.
The collegian's love for fun pervades
fI,e entire performance. 1t is irrepres-
rsble AS will be seen in the pro-
.s~arnn,e below the comedy element
enjoys a prominent place:
