hold an audience. Equally unanimous
have been the tributes to his genius Tor
manufacturing unexpected and thrilling
situations, and with these Secret Ser
vice fairly teens. The scene at the end
of the second act, and those in the third
and fourth, are simply admirable. Mr..
CiIlette's company is made I'm of excel
lent people. Miss Sarah Perry, the lead
ing lady. though given TO lisp which
sometimes mars her work, is graceful ana
forceful; Mr.. Thomas as the boy soldier,
and Miss Hope Ross as his sweetheart,
made an admirable pair of comedy lovers;
Miss Ross was rendered some handsome
floral remembranceS in her dressing room
by friends whom she made when here
with Frawley; the TWO darkies, in the
hands of Mr.. James and Miss Leigh, were
most faithful portraitures; Mr. Gollan
villain was not all it might have been
made, an indiStinctiYeneSS in utterance
marring his work; Miss Waterman S
and the host OF minor characters We're in
thoroughly efficient hands, the artistic
work in the telegraph scene, the great
one of the play, being specially due to
the excellence with which the small roles
We're played. Secret Service is undoubt-
edly good for a great engagement in Salt
Lake, anu If it proves a box Office record
breaker. it will receive no more than 1t
should.
Hi Henry's Minstrel company, which
has been secured by Mr.. Mulvey for next
week, will by far prove the best attrac-
ton booked at this house during the sea-
son. The company numbers fifty white
performers and presents something so
entirely new in the minstrel line that it is
more of a classical performance than any
thlnS else. The opening scene represents
the forward deck of the warship Brook
Ign, with the players dressed up as jack
les. The big guns. the searchightS and
the harbor of Santiago are among the
scenic features. End men, bones and all
the accessories that go to make up the
old-iine minStrelsy are done away with
music
its place. Hi Henry himself is one e.
the most noted cornetiStS in the country
and for the past fifteen years has been
| before the eastern public. The attraction
! enjoyed a three-Weeks' run in Denver,
and the critics were very enthusiastic In
| their praise.
