Mr.. BickneH Young and his wife drew a.
very handsome audience at the Congrega-
tional church last evening. and more than
double the size of that which attended
their song recital a year ago If they
continue their visits, as we all hope they
ma, there is no reason why their an
nual appearances should not become
liked institutions and prove Very profitable
IN Salt Lake and in other cities where
the gifted singer and his wife are as well
liked as they are here. They are last from
San Diego, where they appeared in two
very successful concerts. Mr.. YOungs
programme last night was conducted on
the same lines as that of a year ago. He
took the platform, and in an easy, con-
VerSatiOnal way explained the number
about to be rendered, or gave some inter-
esting fact about the composer, following
II up by rendering in his rich baritone
voice and in his artistic style the song
referred to. He did not leave the platform
Till the close. and the programme
throughout consisted of II numbers. only
lasting an hour and quarter, no encoreS
being accorded, no mater how heartily the
applause. Mr.. YOungs voice has changed
In no respect since he was last here. Its
predominating quality is it's tender sweet
ness, for which reason it tells to best adj
vantage in the selections of a baHodic
form. like those of Lock LOmOnd" or
"Bendeineer'S Stream" or ITO Mary"
rather imam IN those requiring dramatic
force and fire like the ''TOreddOr'S Song
Many of the selections given last evening
were new here, and generally it may be
said that those which met with the heart
lest favor were Loeb LOmOnd, - "Bende-
neer Stream, 20 In Palermo, ITO Mary"
Autumn Sadness and LAS In Waves
Without Number, a beautiful song by
Chadwick. 1t is, however very hard to
discriminate, when each number was rem
dered so eXcellently. Mrs. Young presided
at the piano and aided by her tasteful and
skll1ul accomplishments and interludes TO
dlyeSt the affair of any sort of stiffness.
A large number of old friends called on
Mr.: and Mrs Young at the close of the
recital They leave for their home-Chi-
cagO-tOday.
Mr. Young is nephew of President
Brigham Young and a brother of Messrs.
LeGrand and Seymour b Young He left
Salt Lake some years ago to teach in the
Chicago conservatory.
Katie Putnam drew $500 house at the
theatre last night. the larger part of
which was confined to the galleries. There
is not very much to be said for the new
play of Tom Tinker's Kid either in the
way of blame or praise and generally it
can be summed up in the statement that
the galleries roared over it, applauded the
rescue from wild switch engine with en-
th=siasm and encored to the echo that
Stratling novelty. "There'n be a hot time
in the old town tonight" If one were to
ask the habitues of the parquet for a YER
dict, probably it would be much less rap
turous- Miss Putnam is just as she al
ways was wild, rollcking, hoydenish
and vastly taking with those that like
I that sort of thing. Mr.. Emery had only
a slight part, with no acting oDDortuni-
ties The gentleman who aided Miss
Putnam in the singing albeit nasal in his
quality, also won coed deal of applause.
