grounds of a monastery In the mean
time Alyarado, fleeing from a former
admirer Yvonne, a danseuse, seeks
refuge in the monastery, and by a
stratagem scales the walls and dis
. covers that Dolores is in the adjoining
garden. The duke appearing on the
scene again. is driven TO frenzy by
hearing the monks singing the sere-
made, AID with a detachment of the
guard breaks into the monastery where
Dolores has retreated, disguised as a
boy. Many ludicrous complications fol-
low. and all ends happily.
Absorbing as the general interest is
to hear Jessie Bartlett Davis, 1t is
scarcely less to hear her underStudy,
Jennie Hawley, formerly of this city.
Miss Hawley will be given an oppor-
tunity in THE Serenade' Saturday af-
ternoon, and has a pretty role, appear
ing first as a girl and then in the dis
guise of a boy She has written a
friend here that she greatly regrets
she is not to sing in Robin Hood IN
her old home, but the fates will it
| otherwise. The present announcement
is that Miss HaWley Will go out as
cOntralto in Alice Nelson's company
next year. Could her friends have de-
| cided, they would doubtless incline to
| the opinion that she could not do bet
| ter than TO remain another year IN
! her present place, where the schooling,
! thankless though her position must be,
is OF the sort that most beginners
would pay a big price to secure. Mat
! inee prices will be the same as at
night.
The following paragraph in this
| weeks Mirror sets at rest the many
rumoors which have been aioat con
corning Jessie Bartlett Davis starring
aspirations. The probabilities are that
Mrs. Davis would feel as much lost
without the Bostonians as they would
without her:
| Frank Perley is somewhat annoyed
| by the reiterated report that Jessie
! Bartlett Davis is to star next season
in conjunction with Lillian Russell.
| Mr.. Perley has a contract with Mrs.
! Davis for next season. 1t was signed
] weeks ago, and there is no possibility
/ that she will appear except with the
! Bostonians.'
Under the Dome" played to an i'm
mense matinee yesterday, and wound
up the work to a fair turnout last
night. Business throughout has not
| been large. except at the matinee. For
the coming week William Jerome's
company renders "A Jay in New
York" the character of which is well
! illustrated by the name. The play re-
NOINeS AROUND jay SIlllH, d HeWCOIlieT
in New York, enacted by Mr.. Conway.
Mr.. Jerome himself plays Dusty
Streets" and Miss Maud Nugent, au-
thor of Sweet Rosy O'Grady," does
the role of Daisy. Laura Wilson and
Carrie Massaney, vocalists and dane
ers, and Harry Taft, the whistler, are
also with the company, which is said
to give thoroughly up-to-date per-
Torrance.
The week of the 21st at the Grand
and the week of the 2Sth at the theatre
will see a rather vigorous coon fight,
which has been raging all along the
road, transferred to Salt Lake. The
Grand announces Georges operate
colored minstrels, consolidated with
the Georgia university graduates. The
theatre bills announce Richards &
Pringles' famous Georgias. in mighty
union with RUSSO & Hollands operate
minstrels.' headed by Billy Kersands.
What the row is about, or why the
two attractions follow each other up
along the road, or why Georges and
"Georgias.' no one knows or cares. If
they give a good show, they will be
welcome. If not, they may as well
fight shy of us at once.
Said Pasha," the biggest achieve
ment of the Salt Lake Opera company,
will be given in Logan on Thursday
evening, the oath. and the Oregon
Short Line will run a special excursion
through to the capital of Cache on
that occasion. \ new departure by the
railroad people will be the offering of
special rates to people in Ogden, Brig
ham and other points en- route, so that
any who desire can run up to Logan
on the opera train, see the perform
ance. and be dropped at their homes
again after the theatre. The idea was
suggested by the many Kaysville peO-
pie who went to Ogden to see said
Paisha,' and caught the opera train
back. 1t is also likely that a train
will run down from Preston and
Franklin to see the Logan production.
The Provo date has not yet been de-
cided on.
Director Stephens has issued a feel
ing card of thanks to the public which
ranged, his testimonial. The gross /
cost receipts ran considerably ahead |
of what the tickets indicated, as many
who bought tickets did not attend. |
Something over $1,000 has been re-
ceived, and after paying expenses Mr.. |
Stephens viii have a purse of over I
$500 left. surely testimonial that did /
not miss its mark.
The dramatic fever has now reached !
the Twenty-second ward. and on |
Thursday and Friday evenings next a .
double dramatic entertainment will be /
given under the auspices of the dea- /
cons quorum. for the benefit of the /
meeting house. Two pieces will be rem
dered; one, curtain-raiser called "A
Slice of Luck" and the other the COM
edy of The Three Hats Those who
take part in the two pieces are Ed
ward w. Fish, Hans P. Walgren, Min
ME Wheeler, Annie Walgren. John
Green, c. e. Watson, c. G. Shill, Ru-
pert Gaufin, Winslow Smith, J. H Gar
rett, Jacob H. Taryner, Luella Hyde,
Dean Wardrop, Stella Jacobs and Ida
Davis. The entertainment Will be free
to the old folks. widows and orphans
of the ward.
1t is probable that the clever operat-
ic trio, going under the name of the
TerZetto Opera company, consisting of
Lizzie Thomas Edward, soprano;
Thomas Ashworth, tenor, and John
Robinson. baritone, with Professor Pc
derson as conductor will appear at
several of the various ward houses in
the near future, rendering their sue
cessful operetta called Breaking the
Spell The recent rendition in the
Second ward meeting house was a
charming success, and the company
has wisely decided on a number of
repetitions.
The evening of Wednesday. March ..
marked a very pleasant musical gath
