The following paragraph anent Utah
amateur dramatic societies, is taken
from the San Francisco Music and
Drama If any Of our young Thespi-
ans in the country are guilty of the
charge named, they should at once
about face. Stealing another mans
ideas is only another form of putting
your hand in his pocket. The article
says:
An apparent injustice in the provi-
sions of the Few copyright law is the
immunity amateur companies are given
from the penalties for it's violation.
Music and Drama is informed that in
Utah there are several so-called anna
teur organizations playing copyrighted
plays regardless of the law, which they
continue to make an exception in favor
of amateurs in all cases, instead of
those in which performances are given
only for charitable purposes. The Eph-
rain Dramatic club is playing THE Sill
Yer King" and I'm Mizzoura," and the
Society stock company of Richfield,
"Queena" and Little Lord Fauntleroy''

before. In the evening "Fatinitza" was
rendered, and it became evident why it
had been deferred to the last. The
company is not at home in the opera,
and neither the principals nor the cho-
rus were seen at their best. Mr.. Packer,
rendering the beautiful song. My Ma
tive Land" left much TO be desired, and
the singing of the four wives was very
much off color. Miss Mortimer played
Lydia swetly, and Miss Meyers made a
fair Fatinitza, though not bringing QUE
all the possibilities of the role. The
general of Mr.. Douglas was fair, and
the Turk of Mr.. Clayton was poor, Will
Mr.. Felch got considerable fun out OF
the ennuch.
