capable actor anu excellent support
III IA DEBUT before a Salt Lake su Hence
last night so stsr, In q play emanat
ing from his own pen, set at rest any
doubts here tofore entertained and his
work In A Is ldier OF Il ttune brought
him many heavy curtain c.lie. 1t 10
true thst he is not yet In the elias. to
which the younger Salvini belonged
and II is doubtful whether that young,
iorceiul, romantic actor will b. re-
placed for long time, but Otis Skin.
ner stands pretty well to the front
as capable actor with the romantic
drama as his iorte sud his future
career will,be watched with pleasure.
OF his play, A Boldier Of FortuUe,
much OF good can be said, 1t 10 tingeu
with the fire Of drama and reml MIS-
cent OF Don Quixote in places and In
tensifieI by the Introduction into the
plot OF the celebrated poisoners the
Borgias, Caesar and LucfetiA. 1t is
thrilling and repleto with strong
climaxes and is altogether a goou
play. The company presenting IL was
not overly strong, being msnifestly
weak in places. Maui DIrbin (Mrs.
Ssinner) ~ delightful little LADY anu
played sympathetic role with u
great deal OF feeling though how che
ii lie the leading roles in Mr.. SINNERS
repertoire OF plays including as It does
many particularly exacting ones, Ia
not clear. Misc Sarah Trusx came in
ior an immense round Of applause
upon her first appearances last night
and though her part was not lengthy
one, as Lucretia b rgia, she neverlhe-
less gave II @ Characteristic reI dItioD.
Eda Aberle as the ward OF Mach a.
velIi was maidenly anu pretty, Mr..
Fteuerlck MOsiey was CAREFUL and
capable as Cesar BOrgia the Duke,
though as much cannot be said OF
Frank l.. BY lvester as DsuUiRny
whose manifest weakness was de.
cidedly apparent. The scenic
fleets were in keeping with the
time OF the action OF the play anu
were very pretty and effective, the
costumes as well Deing OF the antique
style. For come unacc III ntable reason
the Theater was cold last evening and
wraps were In considerable demand.

nance, Carmen, has been lsokeu for.
ward to with interest by patrons Of the

OF novelty, In view OF the usual run
OF society plays, which have been pre-.
sented heretofore. Carmen Is distiuc
success for our home company, anu IL
staged with such close attention to de.
tall as t. ref set very great praise on
the stage management. The introduc.
ton OF the Torreador song by Mr..
Kyle, the ESpani h song by Miss
Ranken, the Spanish da ce by Miss
Masters and the mandolin and guitar
trio OF young ladies was a decided
charm TO the Illuminated garden
scene. Mr., Kyle sang In good vice

Miss Masters for her Spanish dance.
Miss Bstemsn as the passionate Car
