task of playing Jura against the rec
election of Frawley, while Mr.. Royce
will have his hands full, to be frank
! with him, with Kings part Of the
Russian brute Remark Cook and
Clarke have admirable roles-those in
which they made their very first bow
at the Grand, and very we'll they are
remembered for their work. Miss Tru-
AK and Miss Leach should both be well
fitted in their parts
The Lyceum is in new hands, those
of Mr.. Gates, the gentlemanly door,
! keeper, Mr.. Gleason. the stage man
ager, Mr.. Brinker, the leading man.
and Mr.. ELMER Ellsworth. who will

There were three very sparselv At
tended matinees going on at the same
time in Salt Lake yesterday afternoon.
All three audiences rolled into one
would have just about filled an audi
toTium comfortably. The day was an
ideal one for a matinee, too. The rea-
son for the poor business may be set
down, as far as the theatre is con-
cerned, to the fact that people will not
pay IS cents for a daylight show I'M
less it be something of overtowering
Importance. which Mr.. Foy is not For
the Grand it can be said that their
bill Of fare possessed none of the ele-
ments Of novelty; and as for the Ly-
ceum, Caste is roo old, too familiar.
and has been done too much of late
to make it possess any attractiveness,
even at Is cents head.
The man who has to figure ahead in
order to see his way clear to indulge
in couple of theatre tickets at S150
apiece, should commence to do his pre-
liminary thinking right away. Frank
Mayo in "Puddin' Head Wilson," is
near at hand, and the man who al
lows him to go by unseen will regret
it ever afterwards. The play set San
Francisco wild with admiration, as
it had been doing New York for
twelvemonth previous, and the Salt |
Lake contingent who recently visited
the coast and saw it there unanimously
agree that it is the best dramatic /!
treat the west has had in the past |
decade.
1t will be a thousand pities if this,
the home of choral music and choral |
societies, is to be unrepreSented in the |
Eisteddfod in Denver. If I
our chamber Of commerce wants to do |
something to attract attention to Salt /
Lake, let it bend its energies in the /
direction of inducing a chorus to enter
for the coming contest. We understand |
the eXertion of working up the chorus /
which took the California tour, has |
left Mr.. Stephens exhausted, and that |
he has announced that under no cir
cumStanceS will be enter the tabernacle |
choir for the Denver contest; still it /
might be possible for him to train a |
detachment of his singers, and have
someone else shoulder the work of par
ticipating IN the EisteddfOd 1t will |
be inexplicable to Denver if we enter
no chorus for the contest after she sent
one TO US last year, and it is to be
hoped the way viii open for some of
age. The first prize offered for the best
chorus is $4,000, and in Denver the Choir
sterS are already at work on the diff
lcult music selected for the occasion.
If the Eisteddfod is not to go on with
out US, there is no time to be lost
Speaking of Denver and Denver mu-
sic, the music lovers of that progress
5ive burg will be pleased to know that
Professor Housely's music was given at
prominent place by Mr.. Stephens on
the programmes of the tabernacle choir
California tour. "Hark, Hark My
Soul, was rendered by the choir, and
Mr. Piper several times sang Rousley's
charming song Mine Always" 1t
never failed to evoke hearty applause.
Since he returned home, Mr. Piper has
received letters asking where copies of
the song could be obtained.
A very biting young man is Mr.. STAN
ey Jones, the editor of the new Lon
lon magazine, entitled Tomorrow.
Yet who shall say his complaint does
1ot have a great deal of foundation?
He makes severe protest against the
Using social aspirations of actors and
actresses and declares that no modest
woman who goes on the stage can have
JAILED to be shocked, if not democrat
zed. The writer adds that there is
20 other profession in which a woman
Or man openly leading an evil life
IAN command such honor and respect.
When popular actor and his wife,
continues Mr.. Jones, cor his leading
ady, which is sometimes pretty much
he same thing, claim a place in soci-
ety, they should conform to the same
social laws as others. What should we
say of doctor who went about ever
