The boy Wanted company, by
plastering the town with posters as a
circus would, and paying for the
poster privileges the same way-in
passes-succeeded in jammins the
Grand last night as it has been damned
before but few times in its history.
Even the roof boxes, view from
where only commands a sight of the
parting in the actors hair. were
crowded full of humanity. We wish we
could say that the show is worth all
the struggling that it took to see it.
1t is in brief a rafting, variety sketch,
with a good deal that is hilarious,
considerable that is new, and much,
too much, that is broad, vulgar and
disgusting How the numerous young
couples scattered through the audi

repeats Monte Cristo' Thursday and
Saturday evenings, presents his new
production of THE Dead Heart We'd
plays The Courier of Lyons" Satur-

prOvement cause This will be con-
tinuation of his former lecture. and will
be, like that, handsomely illustrated by
stereopticon views. The admission hav-
ing been fixed at 10 cents, a crowd like
that which Professor Talmage at
tracted before should be drawn out.
Harry Corson Clarke's stay in Salt
Lake will be limited to one week.
What Happened to Jones" will be in
Ogden during the present week.
The Thatcher-Harris concert at the
Congregational church Thursday even
ing is attracting considerable atten-
ton among music lovers. 1t will form
the real debut of three coming artists
in this city, Thatcher, baritone; Harris,
violinist, and Shepherd, pianist.

The tabernacle choir is actively re-
hearsing its part for next Saturday
nights concert. What the choir viii
render with -Melba has not yet been
settled, but there is chance for hear

may do the mad scene from Lucia"
with action and in costume.

A great deal of interest is being man.
ifested in the appearance of the noted
Welsh prize singers from Wales, at the
tabernacle Saturday night. The sale
of seats begins tomorrow morning, at
Daynes & Coulter's music store, and
