THE WORLD OUTSIDE.

The much heralded and widely adver-
tised production of Ben Hur," which
made its first bow to the New York
public at the Broadway theatre last
week, may be considered the most inn
pcrtant production of the season. The
audience for the opening night was
large and very brilliant. and in it were
ssen the Leading literary and dramatic
people of the city. The play is .nelo-
dramatic in its type, and the scenery
and settings are pronounced the most
gorgeous ever seen in this country. In
fact, some of the critics call the play
"a spectacle" but one. they add, in
which all the intentions of the author
have been realized.
The success of the production was
enormous. and it is safe to prophesy
that all New York and surroundings
will want to get inside the Broadway
theatre. / is also safe to proph- sy thas
iney will have a chance to do SO.
That the scenic effects are beautiful
almost beyond belief, we can partly
realize from the descriptions. The first
scene shows the star in the desert,
where the wise men fall down and wor-
ship. This is entirely pantomime. The
first act shows the roof of the Hur
palace in Jerusalem. The Grove of
Daphne, the temple of Apollo. are all
shown with marvellous art, and the
chariot race meets with the widest
demonstration. One of the scenes shows
the interior of the Roman galley, with
the slaves chained to the oars. The
whole production is. a remarkable ex-
ample of what American skill and in
genuity can do. General Wallace. in
an interview at the close of the first
performance. said: Il take this lesson
from the performance of this evening
that we are no longer DESTROYS only for
scenic effects. no longer dependent upon
London or Paris, but that here in New
York there Is at command the genius
to undertake every theatrical neces-
sity''
1t is furthermore said that there is
not one vulgar note struck in the en-
tire produetion-it is all in harmony
and in perfect taste. The play, unlike
the book, is not "A Tale of the Christ, .
for the religious element is kept in the
background. The coming of the Saw
Tor is indicated by a shaft of. hght--
the curtain is then dropped for an in
slant, and when it is raised again he
has passed on, and the sick are healed
The situation not only avoids all Of
Tense. but it is intensely dramatic. y
humorous point about the chariot
scene is that several reviewers insist
that its success is due 10 our national
inclination to horse racing
The cast includes w. S. Hart, Ed
Inund Coliyer, Frank Mordaunt, En-
nett Corrigan. Edward J. Morgan, Ma
bel Burt and Gretchen Lyons.

Thursdays Change of Bill.

Il That great success of the dramatic
era, sPudd'nhead Wilson" comes to
the Salt Lake theatre, on Thursday
night for the remainder of theeweek.
The announcement is one which will
cause great pleasure to the theatre
going public. The play itself is a mas
terpiece and its success is scarcely TO
be wondered at whsn we take into con-
sideration its authors-Mark Twain
and Frank Mayo. Twain gave the play
its comedy and Mayo gave it its dra-
matte strength. TIE combination is a
most happy one. The story of the play
is too well known in Salt Lake to re-
quire extended comment. But few pro-
auctions come to IDS with such strong
newspaper endorsements, and it is safe
to say that the engagement will be one
of the theatrical events of the season.
The company, which is headed by Mr..
Edwin Mayo, includes Miss Adelaide
Fitzallen as Roxy.
The only other attraction in town
Thursday evening will be the produc-
ton of The Chimes of Normandy at
the Eighteenth ward meeting house. by
the Salt Lake Opera company. Miss
Lille Pye will assume the role of Ger
maine. Miss Savage and Messrs- God
dard, Piper, Spencer and Campbell will
assume their old parts. while chorus
of twelve voices will assist.

ING CdIuS, anu III lIilS way larry coL-
centrate the drama in the eastern part
of this country.
Contradictory as it may sound, many
plays succeed through adverse criti-
cism. That is, when a play is a little
off color" as the saying is, and this
fact is freely mentioned in the news
papers, even though it be in censure,
it usually serves to boom the produc-
ton. This would seem to show an
element of vulgar curiosity in the ma
tional character. but it is probably that
same way the world over 1t speaks
well for Salt Lake that the advance
gossip about Mile. Fiji did not tend
to increase the patronage, but if any
thing, decreased it. The second night
showed an audience about the size of
a corporal's guard, in spite of the
newspaper indications of the plays
character. Managers of plays of this
sort usually utilize the spicy element
for advertising purposes, generally in
an adroit manner which is supposed to
give no hint of its real object Plays
like Mile. Fiji occupy no important
place in our drama. If it is true that
they have been the rage in New York
for two seasons past. as we are told
we may be sure that it is but passing
fad. 1t is an unhealthy taste which
will soon die out in its most ardent
patrons.
To say there is nothing objectionable
in plays of this sort is to take an ex-
tremely liberal view of the case. Per-
haps they do no harm-likely they~do
not. vet they show a glimpse of the
seamy side of things which is decidedly
not desirable. 1t is the old theme of
the problem play made light of in farce
comedy, with the Important difference
that in the latter. all, of course, ends
happily.
When vice is used in farce comedy, it
is introduced as jolly good thing. a
cause for endless merriment The
theme is tawdTy. vulgar. cheap. and
entirely unworthy of liberation. This
class of plays originated in Paris, and
in Paris it should stay, the stage there
is used to it Here in America, farce
comedy authors like Broadhurst, Du
Souchet and the rest of them, ought to
be good enough for US.

characteristics may be much alike,
there is at this day a considerable diff
ference in many of their ideas owing
10 the different life they have led for
several generations; and it must also

is OF a rebel stock-his hand against
every man, and every mans hand
against him. In 1895 when the great
trek from the colony took place, these

one has to distinguish between them
and the colonial Boer, who during the
same period has gradually been enjoy
