note. An hour later Mr.. Rogers OF
the Grand received a dispatch from
Fltzslmmens' manager, asking that he
be booked there for Wednesday even
ing, and he viii therefore appear as
he did before between the acts of the
play. Prices VIII be advanced to 81
for this occasion. Needless to saw
the theatre and the Grand will not
issue combine tickets good for both
performances, though if the relations
between the two sports were less
strained, it might be good business
policy to do that very thing Just how
! much chance and how much design
there is in Fitzsimmons selecting the
same night as Corbett in which to
place himself on exhibition is a matter
of conjecture.

The second venture of the Salt Lake
! Opera company, and probably the last
for some time to come, will be Gilbert
4 & Sullivan's Patience" to be first
done at the theatre next Saturday
afternoon and evening. The company
is working just as hard on the charm
ing music and the aesthetic dialogue
as it did on the Mascot" and as its
numbers have been reinforced by the
addition of Mr.. r. c. Easton and Miss
| Edna Dwyer, the artistic success
/ should be beyond question. In
Patience" Miss Savage has a char
acter that should fit her admirably
and Mr.. Spencer's Bunthorne will
without question, be as strong a char
acterization of totally different kind
as was his Lorenzo in the Mascot"
Mr.. Goddard will have an excellent
singing part in the. Colonel, and Miss
Levy, Miss Daynes, Miss Pike, Mr.
Sherman and Mr.. Graham will be
well cast in the aesthetic and military
roles. The beautiful Greek costumes
for the twenty love sick maidens"
were shipped from San Francisco on
Wednesday last with the Mascot"
suits.
Patience" is considerably shorter
than the Mascot" and when done
recently in San Francisco it was pre-
coded by the one act opera of
"Galatea.' The Salt Lake Opera
company have heightened it by the
introduction of several gems, one a
song for Mr.. Easton, and another a
solo for Miss Levy. Besides these
Miss Daynes, Miss Pike and Miss
Dwyer will sing the charming trio
from Madame Youngs opera of Mr.
Sampson of Omaha" and the chorus,
selections from Sousa's latest opera
"El Captain" both of which are in
that popular composers best two-step
vein. Mr. Weihe has charge of the
orchestra. and Professor Mcclellan
will again assist. The Grand scale of
prices will be again adopted for both
matinee and night. and the Patience
and Mascot season will run from
the Bird TO the Sth; Patience" is to be
done in Ogden on the 9th. and in
Logan, Mr.. Eastons home on the 10th.

Carmen has proved so emphatic a
success at the Grand that the manage
ment has decided on repeating it on
Wednesday afternoon. At yesterdays

Director Evan Stephens of the tab
ernacle choir has returned from his
visit TO the coast, looking browner and
healthier for his sojourn in the land
IF flowers At Thursday evenings re-
hearsal of the choir Mr. Stephens laid
before the body the results of his trip.
He was listened to with absorbing in
-erest. and from the expressions made
il is probable that the big chorus will
indulge in another excursion to Cali
'ornia during the spring or summer.
NJ Stephens' report stated that the
HEARTBEAT managers of San Francisco
md Los Angeles were confident that
he choir would do a large business in
, series of concerts, and they showed
heir faith in the financial part of the
Enterprise by offering 20 per cent of
he receipts. they paying all the local
.xnenses This is 10 per cent more
han the average class of travelling at
"a ctions receives in San Francisco and
,os Angeles. The best offer came from
he manager of the California theatre
which has a large. auditorium and
tage where the chorus could be ,
,andled to good advantage. In Los
angeles Mr.. Stephens negotiations
we're with both the Los Angeles thea
re and the tabernacle, who offer the
arle terms. Should the trip be taken. !
viii consume about two weeks, and
he date will be during the month of
une. As a substantial guarantee fund
required, the only proposition
non which the trim could be made
-ould be for each singer who partici- {
ates to guarantee the sum of $40 and |
axe his or her chances on the |
nancial success of the adventure to !
ct il back again. The only doubtful l
arr of the matter is whether suf- 7
cient number of the singers will make
ne guarantee to assure Mr.. Stephens r
1ch a body of workers as he would 7
SQUIRE. He states that he would want .
nvwhe-e from 100 to $50 singers to t
anticipate. I
