Dear Hal:

Dear Hal: Dec 4.
Our amusements this week have been
on the descending scale; not as to
patronage accorded, for the box offices
are experiencing the old-time booms al
most without variation, but as to in
trinsic merit, In Old Kentucky" and
John Grif1thS are not themes exactly
calculated to invoke the muses.; Mr..
Dazey's play, in fact, begins to bear un-
mistakable signs of being frayed at the
edges 1t is 2 repetition of The old, Old
story: First season out, high class COM
pany, high class salaries; second sea-
son out, a high-priced man or woman
knocked Oft here and there; third sea-
son out, cheap people all around, with
the unfailing result of a big ffrst-night
house, and a CHASTITY drop on the Sec
ond.
Mr. Grifiths, from the four bit stand
point, viii pass, but not much more.
He is, in fact, bargain-c0unter actor,
one of the numerous class that storms
the smaller cities and Dopular-priced
houses, with keen managerial sense
enough to select several capable people,
to build uD some ambitious scenic eff
fects and to do some copious advertis-
ing Of the sensational sort. But, as for
art, the force that comes from repres-
sion, magnetism or repose-Such things
are as much hidden mysteries to Mr..
GrifIiths as they are to the boy whose
duty it is to keep Mr.. Griff1ths' head
encircled with red calcium halo. /

for that walk.
Manager Burton put us all in his
debt when he so promptly enforced the

various professional tardy ones. who
would wait outside on the steps ill the
show began, rather than to miss the
opportunity of sailing in with soaring
plumes and rustling petticoats, to dis
tract attention from the stage. The
new rule only needs enforcing a few
times TO make it entirely salutary. On
the night of the Chimes of Norman

ordinarily large houses, have touched
the boxoffice figures that this young
woman has drawn in 1.-THE Little Min

ceipts at the Empire he was thought
to have made a wonderful record, but
the stock company once went him 5000

who has steadily played to more than

week set the mark at $4,000.
Advance notices are reaching us of

way, and which appears at the theatre

entertainment offered by the company,
which consisted Of three parts, the
first being a concert of five numbers,
the second a complete performance of
the third act of the opera Faust and
the third, the fourth act of Verdi's
I'll Trovotore." The probabilities are
that Salt Lake will have to round up
it's shoulders and stand an increased
rate for this attraction.

The wei known baritone, B. B. Young

DeWolf Hopper should do some
securing around Salt Lake. In a re-
sent interview he says:
you may not believe me when I
tell you that New York is the poorest
place in the country in which to re-
cruit a chorus. The reason for this is.
! suppose, that the old timers of the
profession there stand together
away the youthful and charming. A
good chorus must possess three quail
ties-to be able to sing, to be of pleas
ing appearance, and to be able to act.
The New York product can sign and
act all right; experience is a fruitful
teacher; but we cannot get the pretty
girls and shapely figures which serve
to make pleasing stage pictures. We
are as careful in selecting our chorus
as in choosing an opera It is not our
purpose, however, to cater to the
chappy and sophomore element. That
is not the idea at all. Our chorus may
distract the chappy-we can't help
that; but what we seek is pleasing
stage pictures. 1t is not so easy to
secure these as you may imagine. 1t

San Francisco Chronicle: Although
'The Bells of Corneville' have sounded
melodiously on nearly every stage in
Europe, Pastor Brehan of the Church

The theatre will be dark every night
of the coming week except on Tues
day when the long awaited charity
ball under the auspices of the Young
Ladies' Aid society comes off. Besides
the ball itself, there will be minuet

and gentlemen, and the court costumes
arranged for it, are said to be gorgeous
IN the extreme. The galleries will be
thrown open to spectators at so cents.

Manager Burton has just given
the Salt Lake Opera company a
decided testimonial in booking it
for repetition of the Chimes
of Normandy for the afternoon
and evening of New Years day.
The four performances of the Chimes
given here week before last, did not
by any means run the opera out, and
the closing house was one of the larg-
est of the season. Mr. Burton is con-
fident therefore that there are two
nights more good business in the tune
full opera. The company renders it in
ogden tomorrow night, in Provo, where
the house has been sold by subscrip-
ton, Friday night, and in Logan
Saturday. so that by New Years Salt
Lallers should see a very smooth and
