But Manitou deserves 1T, for she is widt

them. One can scarcely separate art
from nature, A grand BALI was adj
VeT5fsed one evening and we timidly
went TO gaze from afaT at tine scene.
Here the contrast was greatly in our
favor; we could have imagined it at
Sandy, but not at Saltair and our
hearts bounded with delight to think
OF the magnificent pavilion on the lake,
its thousands CT elegant, gracefui
dancers, and its charming music

scenery-that of the grand canyon es-
pecially. Juding from his looks the
professor has been too busy with choir
business, planning and pleasure seek
ing to have been enabled to greatly
benefit himself He still wants a good
rest and says he would run down to the
coast If there were any way to raise
the needed funds for Denver other than
the giving of concerts
Mr.. Stephens says nothing is as yet
decided as to the giving of a concert
en- route in Leadville and Pueblo. The
cost of stopping over for so large a
body is 50 heavy that il would require
very heavy receipts to yield any sort
of profit. 1t is understood that the
Denver committee pledges a thousand
dollars, besides caring for the 900 sing
ers The total expenses will be about
$4,000.
The weeks business at the Grand has
net been at all bad considering the
weather, the galleries having held up

probably not occur before October con-
ference. Mr.. George Edeson, now in
Denver, has not yet engaged the Grand
company for The season.
At Saltair all preparations are now
bent on the Madrid Carnival, which
comes on next week; the announce
ments say $50 people are employed in
the spectacle. At Garfield the ''Mikado"
has drawn so we'll that it will run an
other week. A concert will be given
there this evening, most of the Mi

Georgia Cayvan, who started public
life as an elocutionist, made her first
stage appearance in Boston as Hebe in
"Pinafore," her first dramatic effort as
Dolly Dutton in Hazel Kirize'' at the
opening of the Madison Square thaater
(now Hoyt's) in New York, and her first
hit as Daisy Brown in Gillettes The
Professor in the same theater Miss

A Denver paper says of Hugh Warde,
rln rct ini17 IL
and Walter Edwards at Elitch's gar
dens: Hugh J. Warde, the new light
comedian and character man, got him
self INFO favor without difficulty by a
neat performance of Bobby Appleton.
He is a young actor who manifests ar
tistic instincts and will doubtless be
valuable in the company.

Nj. Hoyt has established a reputation
as a keen observer as we'll as a hu-
morist Characters and incidents that
may seem commonplace to others ap-
peal to him. and he has the happy fac

would be quite impossible for him to
see anything and not give it quaint,
crisp and original expression. His nat
ural acuteness of observation has been
accumulated by his early experiences as
a newspaper man.
