The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-11-01

that the prologue IS an interesting play
in itself, all patrons Of the perform
ance are requested to be in their seats
at o'clock sharp as it has been found
necessary to raise the curtain at that
hour.
In Philadelphia five of the lead
ing theaters will, on election night. be-
gin their performance at midnight.
Manager Burton rightly thinks the
Salt Lake public would prefer it's cleo
ton news sardwiched in between the
acts, or the acts sandwiched in be-
tween the election bulletins, Just as
you choose. The curtain will, there
fore, rise on THE Prisoner of Zenda'
Tuesday evening at $40; between each
of the five acts the orchestra will play
as usual, while on huge sheet dropped
in front of the curtain, the latest re-
turns will be exhibited. Before the
theater is out, therefore. Salt Lakers
will probably know the best or the
worst from the seat of war.
