A press dispatch from De Lamar,
New, received yesterday, conveys the
intelligence that AL Thorne, the old time
actor, has just died at that place. The
mention of his name will bring up
troop of recollections to the minds of
the theatre-goers of Salt Lake Of
quarter of a century ago. In those
days. when the Salt Lake Theatre Stock
company was presenting a succession of
plays in manner that would have
been a credit to any metropolitan the
atre of the times, and when the names
of Mckenzie, Lindsay. Margetts. Gra-
ham, Miss Adams, Miss Clawson and
others were so familiar to theatre-go-
ers, Mr.. Thorne rose to a prominent
position as an actor, and for years held
a commanding place with that COM
pany. His forte was heavy roles, his
best work being the villains of the old
fashioned tpye, and old men of the
irascibie turn. He was a conscientious
actor and hard worker on the boards,
whole those who knew him in private
life say he was a very genial gentle
man. He left Salt Lake many years
ago, and has resided in De Lamar for
long time past.
