ton can make the trip He would not
think of entering the contest unless
he could go with the clubs entire
strength, and he now fears it will
be impossible for every one to go.
We may lock to see a Denver delega-
ton over here soon TO try and induce
our singers to change their minds.
Salt Lake is the one point which Den
yer had relied on for material when
the Eisbeddfod was first conceived
It was known in a quiet way while
Frederick Warde was here that finan-
cial grass had been very short with him
for some time past; feeding was some
what better when he struck our pas
lures, but in the northwest he seems
to have encountered arid lands again.
Music and Drama says:
There seems to be no truth in the
rumor that Frederick Warde's company
had collapsed, though it is reported
that the season, which has been more
or less Improbable from the start, will
close in Minneapolis tonight The I'M
expected failure of William Greer Har-
rison's Runnymede, upon which he
made the error of building great hopes,
handicapped Mr.. Warde at the very
outset of the season, and he was com
PEELED to substitute some of his old
attractions, the usefulness and value of
which had been greatly impaired by
frequent repetitions. The additional
handicap of a weaker company neces-
STATED the presentation of the old
pieces with less satisfactory castles
than had been seen in them before,
and the result was quite natural.
Last season Mr.. Warde's son, who
happens to be his manager, ridiculed
the idea that the departure of Louis
James would weaken the drawing pow
ers of the Warde company, and express
ed his confidence that Mr.. James would
not do as large a business by half as
the older organization. The result
shows that young Mr.. Warde was a
poor prophet or, as is his custom, was
Grating through his chapeau, for it
now appears that the tour of Mr.. James
turned out fairly profitable; while it
has been reported that Mr.. Warde is
largely in arrears and that his leading
lady left him in the north with several
hundred dollars due her for back sal
airy.
In all parts of the country, but more
especially in athe south. where Mr..
Warde had previously been very sue
cessful, and on this coast in the towns
where he anticipated repetition of
most disappointing, and the conclusion
is natural that after making a combi-
nation with so strong player as Louis
James, it was bad judgment on Mr..
Warde's part to star alone.
A letter to the editor, signed pro
fessional." Indignantly asks whom
last Sundays paragraph in relation to
morals in the Salt Lake profession
had reference to. AS if there were
any need of asking. The following
paragraph, in the Music and Drama
last week, sheds a partial light on the
subject: Emily Lytton and Edmond
Hayes are now playing in the stock
at the Lyceum theatre in Denver.
While at the Lyceum in Salt Lake the
lady posed as Mrs. Hayes, and in Den
yer, which is the home of young En-
NETS mother she resumes the name
of Mrs. j. K. Emmett.
Miss Marion Tit, who made many
friends during her stay in Salt Lake,
is now located in Santa Barbara,
where she is studying voice culture.
Evan Stephens was pleased to receive
the following letter from her last
week:
To Professor Stephens-I must send
just few lines SO that you will know
how glad l feel over your success.
You have without doubt had con-
gratulations without number showered !
upon you. None are more earnestly
sincere than mine, though they have
been more Ion time" You see I only
received The Herald of April 26 this
morning.
Several Barbarenos Of my acquain-
tance (musicianS went up to San /
Francisco specially for the privilege
of hearing the choir, and they all !
came back enchanted, and when [
hear their praises sung so glowingly |
1 feel SO proud-even though 1 am !
not and never have been a member |
to say that 1 know of their faithful, |
work and the indefati- |
gable zeal of their leader.
I am staying here in the land of |
sunshine and flowers" 1t is lovely
but give me Salt Lake for every thing, |
make this latter remark it shocks
the natives horribly. They exact a
lot of homage for their California.
I think there must be something in |
the Utah air which goes to the build
ing up of voices. One does not hear
such sweet, rich, mellow tones any
where else.
Following is the programme for the

LONDON, May 9.-The theatres con-
tinue to do a good business, the mu-
sic halls being especially crowded.
The business at the Lyceum, however,
IS waning. THE Gay Parisienne" is
still drawing large houses, and Bar
ritz" which since it's first production
has been almost entirely rewritten. is
still an attraction. 1t has been found
necessary to employ Sandwich men
to keep up the interest in the Prison
sr of Zenda.''
E. S. Willard has secured a strong
play in THE Rogues Comedy" and
t will undoubtedly be a great success

daring swindler, an INSCRIPTIONS

The Strand will be reopened next
week by Wiifred Clark, son of John
Sleeper Clark. Mr.. Clark has secured
several new plays, chief of which is
lis American comedy called "a Bad

The old and familiar Tooles' theater
will shortly be pulled down and it's
