OGDEN SOCIETY,
S~HHH&NHH&oco

The Salt Lake Opera company came
to ogden Monday night with a, crowd
of enthusiastic friends, the occasion be
ing the presentation of The Chimes of
Normandy in the Grand opera house.
This company is one of Ogden's favor
ties. but from this on it will doubtless
be more so. for the work Monday
night is pronounced on all sides as the
best done by the company. This i'm
provement was not confined to those
cast in principal parts, but was also
noticeable in the work of the chorus
The members worked Well together;
there was. precision of movement, and
Vet grace and ease that is often absent
from travelling companies ranked
among the first.
AS SerpoIette, Miss Savage scored a
distinct success. Her stage presence
was remarkably easy and her voice was
praised alike for its strength and its
sweetness. Much the same might said
of Miss Sallie Fisher, only in speaking
of her vocal work people generally men
ton sweetness before strength. There
was a bit of shyness in her manner,
but people could not tell if it were real
or assumed as it comDorted well with
the character of Germaine.
H. S Goddard, though undoubtedly
handsome and Of fine presence, is hard
" built on the plan Of the ordinary
handsome dashing young lover, but the
audience never thought of that While
listening TO his rich bass voice. As
Gaspard, the miser Mr. J. d. Spencer
made q distinct hit as an actor. He
was called before the curtain after his
MAGNIFICENT portrayal Of the miser' S
frenzy, in the second act.
George Pyper's mellow tenor voice
was heard to good advantage in the
mari of Jean Greencbeu8, and his solos
were in great demand. As the Boillie,
Alex Campbell was seen and heard
often enough to make the audience
wish to see him Oftener. Frank Foster
will be long remembered by reason OF
his inimitably droll work as the Notary
and when he appears in Ogden again
he must not be surprised if he is greet
ed with the cry "Salutet
Miss Ednunds was cast in part OF

little to say, to sing or do, but thai
