Blakey has stepped into Clarke ODE
Boots for next week. Mule is only 8
slight bit; if Clarke had had any
chance I believe we should all have
called on him for speech.
MARGE.
The week past in amusement circles
has been uneven; Two profitable nights
at the theatre, two or three good
houses at the Grand, and the others un-
expectedly light, slight business, even
at the matinee, at the Lyceum-this
tells in a nutshell the results of the
week
AT the theatre, darkness will reign
till Saturday night when the Scandi-
navfans are to have an innings. One
OF the great Ibsen's playsswill be seen
for the first time here.
His beautiful lyric drama, Gildet Paa
Solhaug (the celebration of SunnyhilD
will be produced by Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Monsen, the Norwegian actors and Mr..
Frederick Monsen, assisted by a select
company of local amateurs. Mr.. and
! Mrs. Monsen were formerly members
of the Bergen National Theatre and
the Royal Theatre at Christiana during
the time that Henrik Ibsen and Bjorn-
stjerne BjornSon were artistic directors
at these Institutions of dramatic art

season, they received the highest praise
for their excellent production of Scan
dinavian plays.
| Next week will be a bustling one of
six straight nights. John Griffiths, re-
membered for his rendition of Faust"
last year, gives a spectacular produc-
ton of that play with himself as Me-
phisto on Monday, and renders Edwin

venge" Tuesday. The other four nights
will be devoted to Frank Mayo in
''Pudd nhead Wilson,, without doubt
the finest dramatic treat placed before
Salt Lake this season.

This is the cast of the famous old
comedy, "Everybodys Friend" which
the Grand company will essay during
the coming week, and which, now
that it is announced, causes everyone
to wonder why it wasn't thought of
before. Blakemore and Edwards will
have the prize roles, and the other
favorites have what ought to be con-
genial parts.
The stock company at the Lyceum
theatre will this week present the cele-
brated comedy THE Private Secre-
tary" The version tc be given is that
by Leonard Grover, and is the same
one which the Home Dramatic club
used here some years ago.

When Harry Corson Clarke DOTTED
his makeup as Lord Mule last night,
it was to say goodbye to Salt Lake for
what will probably be a long, long tpe-
riod. Last nights train bore him to San
Francisco where he will begin rehears-
ing with the Frawley company
tomorrow morning for the sum
mer season at the Columbia.
In September the company goes
on the road, and if ut comes east,
Mr.. Clarke's admirers will see him on
the theatre stage, from which point of
vantage he has always had an itch
ing desire to address them If it does
not come east, Mr.. Clarke will remain
with it till the spring of 1897, when, if
he carries out his present plan, he will
take three or four choice Bohemian
spirits and go on a tramp around the
world in genteel vagabond way, play
ing when and where they choose, strik-
ing first for the Sandwich islands
thence to China, India and South At
RIGA. We may be pardoned, however,
for cherishing doubt whether an ac-
tor OF Mr.. Clarke's abilities will be al
lowed to do anything so desperate by
san Francisco managers. The last few
