DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.

Tomorrow evening at the tabernacle
the concert on which a big section of
our musical forces has been at work
for three months past will be rendered.
The event is to take the form of a
testimonial to Professor Stephens,
whose long and arduous labors in the
cause OF music in this city and else
where have made him the most promi-
nent figure among the musical circles
of this community. The programme ar
ranged is an entirely UNIQUE one, con-
sisting, as it does. of u numbers, every
one of which is by Mr.. Stephens him.
self, and nearly all of which are today
unpublished.
The first number will be a selection
from the oratorio called 1.-The Siege of
the Nephites" the words and music of
which were written by Mr.. Stephens
many years ago. The 500 voices of the
tabernacle choir form the chorus of
Nephite men and women, while Mr..
Goddard. Mr. Piper and Mrs. Nellie
Druce Pugsley assume the three char
acters to whom is assigned solo work.
George Chadwick, one of America S
greatest composers, said of this ora
tcrio, the manuscript of which was sub
mitted to him, that its style was mas
terly, but that he regretted it was

many treats the production afforded,
none excelied that of seeing Spencer
and Young in harness together again.
It was a breath from the old Home
Dramatic days that their army of
frie nds found especially eXhilarating.
The only regret about the entire pro-
duction is that it took practically all the
handsome receipts to pay for rent, cos
tunes, orchestra, lights, advertising
and the THOUSAND and one etceteras in
separate from presentation of such
pretension. Mr.. Weihe is understood TO
have observed that the profits would,
with economy, keep him in rosin for the
winter. But he rightly feels the opera
is a long way from dead, and if the
right moment is seized, it may be put
on at some time and made to yield a
profit yet.

Musicians who have attended the re-

have been enthusiastic in their praise
of the scene from the opera of The

heard that Mr.. Stephens could not have
finished his work. which is written on
grand opera lines. Many people think
it would have given him more than a
local reputation if it could have been
published. The libretto of the opera is
written entirely by Mr.. Stephens. and
much of it is in rhyme, while all the
remainder is in blank verse. Its plot

Dear Hal: Feb. 26.
That we are indeed the metropolis of
the mountains was never more plainly
evinced than in the astonishing way
we have stood up under the strain of
four consecutive weeks of opera, with
the last week an operate double
header A few years back anyone who
would have suggested such a run could
be achieved IN Salt Lake would have
been laughed at. Yet there were not
three nights in the whole series when
the houses could be called light, and
on most of them every seat was occu-
pied.
Mr.. Grau HES himself away very well
satisfied with his fortnight's stay, and
the probabilities are that Salt Lake has
not seen the last of him. His company,
despite some uneven spots in it, has
made many friends. and can be ranked
as the best 50-cent attraction the Grand

ed. Miss Mortimer has been the prime
favOrite; Miss Myers must shut off that
tIemulo stop before she can read her
title clear to a place among the accepted
prima dome; Mr.. Fetch is a good CO.
median and a conscientious worker; MIR.
PScke has some good tenor notes, one
stereOtyped set of gestures, and an I'M
graceful bearing that recalls poor old
Mike Forster, of the vanished Salt Lake
stock actor days; Mr.. Langlois needs
two things, and needs them badly; one
is a course in articulation, the other
new walk. Without them his naturally
good vocal organ might as well be uti-
liZed in crying tOmaleS. The chorus has
done both good work and bad work.
What il knows well, it sings well; but
if it ventures on new ground, it gets
decidedly shaky. Like the little miss
with curl in the middle of her fore
head. when its good its very, very good,
and when its bad its horrid.
Mr.. Weihe's amateurs entered the
lists against the professionals, and
routed them foot and horse, that is,
comparing artistic and financial results.
The chorus of the home people is such
a one as no travelling organization car
ries, with the possible exception of the
BOstonians, and in the list of the prin-
ciDals are some who come close to the
professional line. Mr.. Weihe has more
reason than ever TO feel proud of his
organization, and said Pasha" may be
