ner. He said Salvini would not allow
ii, and that the entrance should be
made from the side
1T was quite absurd to spoil the en-
trance in this way, and naturally
protested. But you may know what q
quiet, lovaIle man Mr.. Booth was.
Without speaking further to the
| prompter about il. he said TO me that
he would make the entrance from the
side then. but in the evening we would
enter from the center. And so we did.
Salvini was at his grandest in rolling
out the Italian for Here comes the
lady let her witness it, and looked off
! TO the left But we were standing al
most beneath the shadow of his arm.
.Of course, he was furious when the
performance was over The Italian
language was none too expressive to
express his feelings toward US. Mr..
Booth listened for awhile, then said to
him quietly:
MIR. Salvini may do these things as
he chooses in Italy. but he must re-
member he is in America now, where
we strive to deal fairly with the Ia
dies.
'Salvini quickly recognized that Mr..
Booth had too much the best of him to
admit of any answer from himself, and
/ he never again protested against Des-
demonas entrance by way of the center
of the stage"
Judging from the number of opera
companies headed this way said Will
/ lard Weihe yesterday, the news of the
success of the Salt Lake Opera COM
pany must have penetrated to the out
side world. We are still confident
however. that the public will keep a
/ share of its favor for the home con-
Germ. We are hard at work on "Said
Pasha," and have concluded the make
up of the cast, which will include Miss
Savage, Miss Fisher, Miss Dwyer, Mr..
Goddard, Mr.. Spencer, Mr.. Pyper, Mr..
3. s. Young, Mr.. Sherman and Mr..
Carl Scheid.''
Mr.. Shearman will do the Pasha, and
the two comedy roles, those of the two
English tramps in Constantinople, will
be in the hands of Messrs. Spencer and
Young, whose joint work in the old
Home Dramatic company is so well re-
membered as to form a guarantee that
no opportunity for fun-making will be
missed.
Immediately after Francis Wilson, the
comedian, had finished a most appro-
pirate speech at the opening of the new
jefferson theatre at Portland, Me-,
early in September. says a st. Louis
paper, he was congratulated by num-
Der of his friends for the great sue
cess of the effort Among the number
was Speaker Thomas b. Reed whose
home is in Portland, and who has long
been a friend and admirer of Wilson.
His words of praise were very hearty.
He said that he would give a great deal
if he had the art of condensation down
as fine as the comedian-that is, say
ing a great deal and to the point in a
few words. For forty years he had
been studying the art of oratory and
speech making, but had failed to ac-
quire the element of brevity. He
thought that the man who could ex-
press himself in public as neatly and
appropriately as Mr.. Wilson had just
done was to be envied. This was high
praise from a high source.

The declaration of David Belasco that
Mrs. Carter is too womanly to strut
about the stage in male garb,'' has ere
ated much comment III New York the
atrical circles, and the semi-official |
statement has been pretty generally |
resented. Mr.. Belasco's remark was
called forth by the query of a Morning |

her reputed determination TO play |
Shakespearean roles, as to whether she |
would play Rosalind in LAS You Like !

and Julia Marlowe are to play Rosalind |
in New York this week. No one has |
ever had the hardihood to refer to Ada |
Rehan as unwomanly, and Julia Mar
