Melbourne Mcdowell Miss Daven-
ports husband and leading man, has
made some very rapid strides since he
was first seen in Salt Lake. He made
a good impression here as the surgeon
in Held by the Enemy" at the time
when Henry Miller played Colonel
| Prescott; not long after that he took
a place in Fanny Davenports COM
pany, and later married her. Miss
Davenport is the sole owner, manager
and director OF her dramatic enter
prises; she buys her plays, adapts them
to the stage, makes designs for her
scenery and allots the salaries 10 her
company. Professionally Mr.. McDow-
ell is simply her leading man, and he
is paid salary just as all the rest of
the company are OF course he leads
the salary list, and in and around the
company it is said he could, if he
chose, put by $500 a week without
pinching himself.
Miss Davenport literally goes TO the
extreme of prodigaIity in mounting her
plays; any other manager having a
church effect to produce would borrow
an ordinary organ in any town where
he wanted to produce his play. Miss
Davenport had an Instrument specially
made, and it is carried wherever she
goes. The old antique furniture used
in "Gismonda" is all genuine, and II
cost a small fortune; she had design
after design submitted to her of the
scenery, and the artist who was finally
given the task of painting the great
cathedral scene, was in despair before
he could suit her. After she had torn
~s--f--
idea in reproducing a cathedral that
stands today in Athens. The church
service and the palm procession were
obtained from Father Ducre, the noted
New York Catholic priest, who
coached" the actor and chorus in the
chants, and the choir work Sardou
sent over was rejected by Miss Daven-
port and w. w. Furst given the work
of composing satisfactory music. All
ing Almerio's speech, is said to have
been written by Davenport, and as
showing that Davenport's editing of
Sardou manuscript improved it, it is
claimed that the play did not succeed
either in Paris, London or New York
when done by Bernhardt, but that, as
rendered by Davenport, it has been
one of the most decided successes of
her career.
The closed piano in the orchestra
during the Davenport engagement has
told a mute but a sadly eloquent tale.
The loss that Mr.. Darlington has sus-
tanned in the taking away of his wife
will come as crushing blow, all the
more hard to bear in his case, because
if ever there were two souls knit to-
gether by a mutual devotion, they
were those of the young pianist and
his wife Both were musicians, both
artistic natures. their tastes
were identical, and they went through
life almost as much boon companions
as they were man and wife, sharing !
tolls and domestic cares
together. The funeral occurs at to- |
day, and the theatre orchestra will at !
tend in a body: Mrs. Edward, Mrs. Ag- |

The Herald dispatch announcing the
death of Nelson Wheatcroft was
great and sad surprise to many adj
mirers in Salt Lake. Wheatcroft was
well acquainted here, his appearance

Henry Miller and LIE Moyne when 1.-The
Wife" was first presented here by
Frohman's Lyceum company being

villain as few other actors on the stage
can do. One of the best remembered
of his speeches was in 1.-THE Wife"
when Miller says to him, between his
teeth, III kill you" Then you'll
hang" was the airy response, uttered
as only Wheatcroft could utter it. His
reading of that one line always brought
down the house. OF late years he had
confined his acting to New York, being
director of the Empire theatre school
of acting there. He was also the author
of several plays, the best known of
which was "Gwynne'S OATH lately

DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.

Fanny Davenport's truly marvellous
engagement wound up with a great
matinee audience yesterday afternoon
one that counted up in dollars and
cents more than either of the two
opening nights. At full night rates
such a matinee in Salt Lake is a phe-
nOmenon, and Miss Davenport may
well feel proud of being the one at
traction able to fill the house at an
afternoon performance without making
a concession in her charges. The COM
pany proceeds at once TO San Fran
cisco, where it will rest a week prior to
the opening there. Miss Davenport,
Mr.. Mcdowell, her husband, and Mr..
Mckenzie, her manager. remain over
Sunday here, resting. and will proceed
leisurely to the coast. Very few at
fractions could afford a weeks idleness
in the height of the season, and the
fact that Miss Davenport gives up a
week S receipts to gain rest. shows well
the plethoric condition of her purse.
