rive on Wednesday, when rehearsals
! of Caprice will be Immediately be-
gun.
The people at the Grand last night
would not have missed the entertain
ment they received for double the ad
mission charge. 1t was entirely sepa-
rate from that provided on the bills too.
1t all occurred in the fourth act, when
! Edeson steps on the stage. His head
had no sooner appeared than the house
sent up shout that lasted until he
came to the fOotlights and made his
usual nightly talk" 1t was a good
bye talk this time, however and the
governor was visibly affected as he
made ii. He said in all his experience
he had never met with kindness so
overwhelming as that which the Salt
Lake public had ShOwered upon him.
He thanked the public, the press and
the ladies and gentlemen of the COM
pany; all, from the orchestra to the
man in the flies, he said, had labored
with him for the success of the house.
He then turned back and was thrown
a handsome bouquet from the Junior
club of Rowland Hall. But the inter-
Iuption wasn't on yet. Walter Ed
wards shed his villainy for a moment
stepped forward, took the governor s.
hand, and in the name of the players
and the orchestra presented him with
diamond pin, paying him handsome
tribute at the same time. Then Mr.
EdesOn tried to speak again, but
couldn't, said God bless you and let
the play go on. He leaves for New
York tonight The employees of the
house also gave him a handsome re-
membrance in a silver brush.
Yesterdays matinee was immense
and last nights turnout was fair.
Mr.. Edwards got the usual vociferOus
applause for his very admirable con-
ception of the character role of Humpy
Logan.

Not for many, many moons has the
theatre done any such business as that
reached by the Brownies. Yesterdays
matinee was full, even up to the third
circle, and last nights house saw no
diminutiOn of the jam above and be-
low. The receipts for the four per-
fOrmances could not have fallen much
below 81, 900. With such a total, with
a prosperous week at the Grand. and
with $500 advance sale for Nordica,
the talk of scarcity of money in this
community would seem to be merely
talk and nothing more. The manager
stated last evening that the half
weeks receipts in Salt Lake We're
equal to those of the full week in Los
Angeles.
Wanted, the Earth" is 1.-THE farce
comedy with which the doors of the
Lyceum will be reopened tomorrow
night John Dillon, a well-known
comedian, who, we believe, was once
seen in Salt Lake as Pittacus Green,
is at the head of the attraction.

A copy of the Canadian American,
published in Chicago, and just at
hand. has a page devoted to a local
celebration of Burns birthday. Pic
lures are published of Charlotte Tit-
tell, late leading lady of E. H. Sothern
without mentioning her record at the
Lyceum of this city. Singularly
enough, nesting close by on the same
page, is the picture of Wallace Mon
roe, who is announced as the drama
tizer of Scott's Lady of the Lake.
