1t will form the bill at the Grand this
week.
This play was originally written for
Minnie Madden. 1t is a companion
piece to Caprice" the two being the
plays in which Miss Madden has been
most successful. 1t is an interesting
story of a young devoted wife who
tries to save her husband. who has be-
come infatuated with an opera singer,
from dfshonor and disgrace He is
about to follow the singer to Russia
pleading urgent business as his reason
for leaving his home and wife. The

make him forget and when she recalls
their happy courtshiD and marriage

The Lyceum management are full OF
hope that this week will see the turn
ing of the tide at their house; the two
new people, Mr.. Brinker and Miss
Ward, who are said to be strong and
capable, make their bow tomorrow
night in Partners Aided by Mr.
| Hayes and Mr.. Lytton, they certainly
ought to give a telling performance.
Rumor has it that Prof H S. Krouse
who has so long held foremost posi-.
ton among Salt Lake musicians. is
thinking Of pulling up stakes and
going to New York to grow up with
the country. Mrs. Krouse has already
preceded him. We have not yet seer
the professor to inquire as to the truth
or falsity of the rumor, but some color
is lent to it by the fact that he is tc
be rendered a testimonial at the Grand
next Sunday night The admission
will be fifty cents to all portions of the
house; q select orchestra of twenty
will play under Krouse's baton, and
the following strong list of people will
aid in making up what should be a
rare programme:
Mrs. H. c. Woodrow, contralto; Mrs.
H. NJ. Dinwoodey. cortralto; Mrs
Walter Edwards. soprano; Miss Jennie
Long. soprano; Miss Rose Morris pi-
anist; Mr.. W. E. Weihe violinist: Mr..

Hugh Ward; Mr.. Mark S. Clayson, &C
companist.
Paderewsk's advance sale opens at
Calder's tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, and all the preparations have
been made for a good sized riot The
biggest demand will probably be for
the upstairs west end seats, where the
auditors can look directly down upon
the hands of the pianist and note each
particular hair Of his famous hirsute
adornment. His prices will be two
dollars for all gallery seats, one dollar
and half for the center tier down
stairs and one dollar for the side seats.

PaderewSki's, and at another music
store, the expectation being that the
respective advance demands could be
better handled if kept entirely sepa-
rate. Sousa is having enormous sue
cess on the coast, and his soprano, Miss
French. and his lady violinist. Miss
Duke, are drawing almost as much at
tention as his famous band. Both
PadereWski and Sousa appear under
the auspices of the tabernacle choir.
which, no one will be sorry to learn
retains a good part Of the heavy sum
that will be taken in at the tabernacle
during the three performances Mr..
Stephens singers, numbering 400, open
Paderewski's programme, but sing no
more that night. In the Sousa night
concert they sing twice, rendering the
grand selection, Noble Chief" 10 the
accompaniment of the great band, ard
one other piece unaccompanied. The
great chorus. the band, the soprano
and the lady violinist, VIII make up
programme which, Sousa says, he is
never able to present IN any other
city that he visits.
Sousa writes Director Stephens that
as far as his recollection goes, his Salt
Lake matinee will be the first time in
his professional life that he allowed
his band to play for % cents admission.
Nothing but your grand auditorium
your chorus of 1000 children and the
fact that we want to draw 5000 other
children with their parents to hear the
children singing with the band, could
reconcile me to playing for that fig
ure.' he writes. For Tschool children's
day" Sousa has orchestrated THE Pill
grim's Chorus" from "Lombardi." and
Stephens Utah, We Love Thee both
of which are to be rendered by the
1,500 children, accompanied by the
band. The youngsters will sing in two
parts, about 900 trebles and 500 altos.
Mr.. Stephens says about sixty people
have applied for excursion tickets to
accompany the choir to San Francisco.
AS the date of departure is not till
April Is. he thinks this number SO long
in advance, augurs decided interest in
the affair. The rate of $50, he states,
will include railway and sleeper fare
and board and lodging for ten days,
the only requirements being that the
