Coghlan first came to this country
under contract with John Stetson. He
| appeared with success in nearly every
city in the United States during three
years engagement.
In addition to the plays he wrote he
| was the literary executor of Lord Lyt-
ton and finished two of his uncompleted
| dramas.
| AT the Players club and the other or
| CARNATIONS to which Coghlan belonged
| in New York he was regarded as a lone
| performer. He would occupy table by
himself, where he drank, ate and
smoked in solitary dignity.
He was, Notwithstanding, a genial
man, but his humorS We're uncertain.

Marie Wainwright and Aubrey Bouci-
cault are co-stars in the Eastern COM

| cault came near leaving the company
| few nights ago at Washington. The
| Post says of the incident: "Boucicault

J American stage. Members of his COM

him peacefully. He has a fiery temper,

rather lively times behind the scenes Of

Miss Marie Wainwright, his co-star.
The exact cause of the trouble has not

Wright's husband came over from New
York, prepared for any emergency, bu.
Mr.. Boucicault fortunately apologized
before his arrival. Matters were some
what strained during the rest of the
week. Incidentally Mr.. Boucicault
threw up his position because he be-

disadvantage. but he was finally per-
suaded by Brady and Ziegfield to re-
main with the company through next
week at any rate"
Concerning the Beach & Bowers
minstrels, who will be at the Grand
next Sunday night, the Salt Lake Tirb-
4 une says:
Beach & Bowers minstrels is an ag-
gregation which boasts of no gorgeous
stage settings and no mammoth effects

were engaged there must have been a

decidedly in the majority. They are
all possessed of sweet voices, however.

an original acrobatic act. Don Cor

ures of the performance, and may

one of the best of his line. A drill led

Kenno-La Barre trio did an acrobatic
