rector, and the encores were quite nu-
merous, the lively stage business be-
ing especially appreciated, and all in
dIcatlng the hand of one we'll uD in
stage craft The first honors were di-
VIded pretty equally between Mrs. Hep
burn, Who made a very taking little
Yum Yum, and Miss Stayner, who act
ed and sang Katisha in excellent style.
Mrs. Gates and Mrs. Ulrich, the other
little maids, shared with Mrs. Hepburn
IN hearty recall, and all four of the
ladies were rendered floral offerings,
several being sent over the footlights
with the compliments of the Salt Lake
Opera company. Mrs. Hepburn's intro
duced waltz song in act also won an
encore. Of the gentlemen the palm
must be accorded to Mr.. Conlisk, the
40 ko, and Mr.. Conroy, the Pooh-Bah,
each of whom made a good deal of
merriment. Mr. A. F. Gates, the Nanki
Poo, and Mr.. F. M. Gates, the Mikado,
played acceptably but hardly with the
freedom manifested by the other gen
tiemen; the same must be said for Mr..
McMillan's Pish Tush. The chorus ran
away from the conductor once or twice,
but otherwise did good work, the ladies
rather excelling the gentlemen, espec-
tally in the business of the opera The
costuming and settings were handsome,
while Mr.. Weihe's orchestra, under Mr..
Hepburn, did efficient work
Considering the very bad time at
which our Ogden friends visited us
sandWiched, as they were, between
Secret Service" and "In Gavesf Man
hattan"-it is not surprising that the
''Mikado'' did not draw a crowded
house; at another time, we trust, they
viii have better fortune

In Gayest Manhattan" holds forth
at the Theatre tonight. The sale has
been large, and there is no doubt but
that the show, which is said to be one
of the most rapid that Roster & Bal
have sent out, will do large business.

One hundred and four trunks, bear
ing the label of Kellar, the magician,
have arrived at the Theatre in advance
of their owner.
This evening the Salt Lake Opera
company sings The Chimes of Nor
mandy" at the opera house in Ogden.
The cast will be the same as when pre-
viously given here, except that Miss
Levy sings Germaine and Mr.. Siddoway
does the notary. The Short Line runs
special up at o'clock, and the Rio
Grande Western sends one out during
the morning. The Opera company takes
its Thanksgiving dinner at the Reed
MOTEL this afternoon.

The Grand again played to its capac-

The news of the destruction of the
famous Baldwin theatre in San Fran
cisco, contained in yesterdays dis
patches, came almost as a shock to
many Salt Lakers, who had many
times attended performances within it's
walls. Interest was added by the fact
that Gillette's Secret Service" which
so lately appeared here, opened there
Monday night, and that all the scenery
and properties of that interesting play
were destroyed. The Baldwin is the
house that brought Al Hayman into
fame and fortune, and had long been
known as the Swell theatre of San
Francisco, being now managed by
Gottlob & Co., also the managers of the
Columbia. 1t will, in all probability,
be rebuilt at once, and in the mean
time the first-class attractions booked
for it will have to be divided between
the California and the Columbia,
though bookings had been made for all
three houses, and it will be difficult to
arrange the dates of the companies
which were to play in San Francisco at
the same time. 1t is - be hoSed that
such attractions as Frank Daniels and
others who were heading for the Bald
win, will not be turned back.
General sympathy will be felt for Mr..
Gillette, whose personal loss will be
sure to betvery heavy, aside from the
scenery consumed, as his four weeks at
the Baldwin were counted on to be big
winners. If he can find another San
Francisco house, however, it is prob
able that the run of Secret Service
will not be long interrupted.
