I'm selecting the opera of Patience
for our second work" said Mr.. Weihe,
director of the Salt Lake Opera COM
pany, I'VE wished to attempt some
thing in as strong contrast as possible
to the Mascot That opera is more
of a buffo order; the. fun is fast and
furious, and the acting is as prominent,
if not more prominent, than the music.
Patience as everyone knows, is an
aesthetic opera; everything is on the
subdued, quiet order: it might be called
a comic opera classic; the music is of
the daintiest, most exquisite style,
though there are two or three ringing
finales in it that will give our chorus
as GOOD a chance as it had in the
Mascot But I should say that in
Patience it will be music first, acting
second. Our Mascot people will be
augmented by Mr.. r. c. Easton and
Miss Edna Dwyer; the love sick maid
ems chorus and the chorus of
dragons will be the same people as
those who took part in the Mascot
with two or three additions, which
will make the chorus work stronger.
Mr.. Weihe also said that the expert
ment of second class prices for first
class attraction had proven successful;
he was convinced that many people
had seen the, Mascot who would not
have gone had full rates been charged;
hence the same scale of prices would be
for Patience" The dates OF
the engagement are as follows: Pa
tience," Saturday afternoon and even
inc. and Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, April g. and Z; the Mascot
is to be revived for two nights only,
April and 6.
Excursions to Ogden and Logan are
expected to be made with Patience"
later on. r. c. Easton came down from
Logan last evening and hal his first
rehearsal with the company.
"Mahara's Darkest Tennesseans" is
the way the minstrel company of real
negroes is announced which opens at
the Grand tomorrow night. The only
Billy Young is with the company; the
engagement lasts three nights, and as
