the first act, Sam Sevine, Hannahs
cousin, places a ring on her finger in d
spirit of fun, and jokingly- recites some
words of the marriage service, in the
presence of some friends. This, they
afterwards discover, constitutes a. legal

a divorce however. and no more is
thought Of the incident until Hannah
meets David Brandon, whom she prom
ises to marry. The little ceremony OF
betrothal is about TO take place before
Hannalls father, the rabbi, when the
latter accidentally discovers that Bran
don is a lineal descendant of the priests
of Israel. In the rabbinical law, 1t Is
forbidden that priest should marry
a divorced woman. Brandon and Han
nah appeal in vain, for the old RABBI,
although broken hearted at the pain he
must inf1ict upon his daughter, remains
true to his religion. Brandon refuses
to give Hannah UP, and an elopement
is planned, but at the final moment,
while he awaits her at the window, she
goes TO receive her fathers Sabbath
blessing, weakens in her resolve to de-
sert her religion for her lover, and he
sees through the window that she re-
moves her coat and hat, and seats her
self at the table with her family. SO
the play ends with the tragic tension
unbroken. The most lavish praise is
bestowed upon the staging of the pro
duction by Mr.. James A. Herne. This
master in the art, first widely known
through his Shore Acres has again
struck the note of realism in a play of
widely different character. A somber
pitch is maintained throughout, and
there is none of the ranting which
might easily be developed in a play of
such sensational moments Wilton
Lackayes portrayal of the rabbi is
said to surpass even his Svengali. The

TALK ABOUT SAN JOSE SCALE
SALT LAKE COUNTY FRUIT
GROWERS MEET.
Secretary Wright of State Board of
Horticulture Tells About Work Of
the Pest In Weber County.

The meeting of the Salt Lake County
Fruit Growers association called for
yesterday afternoon in the office Of the
board of county commissioners, was
sparsely attended. G. II. Cole was in
the chair The object of the meeting
was to hear talk from Secretary
Wright of the state board Of horticuI-
ture relative to the appearance of the
San Jose scale in orchards in the north
western part of Weber county.
Mr. Wright stated that the scale had
unquestfonably made it's appearance,
but he did not believe there was any
necessity for serious alarm ON the part
of fruit growers generally He inn
pressed on his hearers the necessity for
Immediately reporting TO County Fruit
Tree Inspector Sorenson the presence of
any suspicious insects in their or
Chards.
Wherever possible, MIR. Wright urged
that samples of the suspects be sent To
the inspector, so that he might be able
to determine at once whether or mot it
was the San Jose scale. So far as
known the past is confined to narrow
belt in Weber county, but the state
board is going to take all proper pre-
cautions.
If it is deemed necessary a rigid
quarantine will be placed in effect ON
the infested district and such other
steps taken as will effectuaIly stamp
out the evil. The regular quarterly
meeting of the state board, which is
scheduled to be held in Salt Lake on
Monday, will be adjourned to Weber
county, and the members will make
personal examination of the orchards
where the scale has appeared
Those present yesterday listened to
Mr.. Wright's remarks with every evil
dence of careful attention. When he
had finished Mr.. Cole talked about the
scale and about orchard pests gener-
ally. An adjournment was then taken
until the first Saturday in November,

The World Outside.

All who had read the brilliantly bitter
novel THE Gadiiy'' by Mrs. Vaynich.
We're interested in the result of the
dramatic version, as produced by
Stuart Robson and Marie Burroughs.
The novel, as is now we'll known. was
a daring attack on the Catholic religion,
and contained much to arouse the ire of
followers of that faith. On this venom
Gus attitude toward the church depend
ed the dramatic value of the book, its
senSationalism and nearly ali of its
interest. The play was described as
"A liberal adaptation of the novel of
that name by Edward Z. Rose" AS the
result of one suggestion and another,
ali that might offend the religious ele-
ment Of an audience was omitted. 1t
may at once be seen that the fire was
taken out Of the argument, and Mrs
Naynich, much displeased, threatened
10 enjoin the production. Cold water
was also thrown by people who re-
menbered that Stuart Robson had been
a comedian-and an eccentric COM
edian at that-for q good many years
past, and a passionate part like that of
Gadfiy was thought TO be somewhat
out of his range. 1t was also thought
that O quiet, reserved actor like Ernest
Hastings was miScast in the part OF
the Cardinal. With so many well
grounded prophecies OF failure il was
scarcely possible that the play could
succeed, and the verdict came as ex-
pected. THE Gadfy" was pronounced
tame, fiat and undressing, lacking
the fire, the passion. the inspiration OF
the novel. AS to the actors in the cast
there. is some difference of opinion. but
ali agree that the play is a failure. Mr..
Robson has decided TO withdraw it
the end of this week. and will be fol-
lowed at Wallack's theatre. New York
"a week earlier than was intended-by
William II. Crane in Peter Stuyves-
ant. Mr.. Robson will have the play
revised more in accordance with the
ideas of the author, and in the mean
time, VIII prepare a new play by
Augustus Thomas, as yet unnamed,
which was fortunately held in reserve.
It is a matter of doubs whether '.rThe

If the ideas of the book were followed.
II would undeniably be daring ex-
pertinent to produce it in such a form
The dramatic columns of the eastern
papers Of the past week have largely
been taken up with reviews and argu
ments Of Children of the Ghetto" The
play has attracted widespread atten-
ton, and may be classed among the
dramatic sensations of the season. In
draUatizing his book, Mr.. Zangwill has
used only the situations of the first vol
u1ne, which, even in the story, are dra-
matte in the extreme. Founded as it is
on some peculiar points of ancient. rab-
binscal law, the play is a distinct de-
part1re from anything yet presented
TO the public, and is for this reason a
triumph for the author-ds amatist. In

others pending. The list promises to be
full one, although a vacant week now
and then is unavoidable. Manager
Piper says he often has an opportun-
ity to open his house for some inferior
grade OF attraction, but prefers to keep
the Theatre dark rather than lower its
prestige.
Regular theatre goers usually avoid
a small company with a big name, be-
cause experience has taught them to
do so. "Bluffing'' is a practice not en-
trely unknown in the theatrical pro-
fession. and it is usually the case that
the less the merit. the greater the
'sbluff." The visit of the Grau Opera
company last year created some little
comment, but awllens the manager

''The Metropolitan Opera company 1t
has been said that we must not expect
too much for so cents. Yet it is surely
permissible to make comparisons in the
same class, and such a proceeding
makes our last opera engagement
show up badly indeed. A company
which travels upon its own merits is
always emitted TO some consideration,
but an inferior organization which de-
ponds on a-well, borrowed-name for
it's prestige, not only condemns itself,
but spreads a falsly bad report for the
original, among the uninformed. Local
Arrangements are liable to be deceived
in just such matters occasionally, and
are no more responsible than the citizen
who buys his ticket for the perform
ance. 1t is hardly likely that a man
ager would have an off, week from
choice. In the present instance, at the
Grand, it looks decidedly as though
Manager Mulvey would more than

ers alone should make an interesting
evening. and as they all have roles
particularly suited to them, a perform
ance of unusual merit is assured. "Ho-

authors is said to have been carried out
in giving it a, consistent story, witty
dialogue and the happiestsof situations

high-class order. but of the catchiest
kind. AS in all Herald Square theatre
attractions, there wiz be chorus of
forty. The fact of itsSnitial production
at the Comedy theatre, London, the
same night as in New York, also added
to its interest. The MANAGEMENT have
gone to lavish expense and, in conse-
quence, the scenery and costumes are
promised. to be of particular richness.

Two Utah sheepraisers registered at
the American House yesterday. That
circumstance in itself is not strange.
Sheepgrowers often register at local
hotels and are as often as not from
Utah. The popularity about these two
was this: One registered as A. B.
Chase and the other as D. E. Frame,
both from Salt Lake City, and they
came together.
"a. B. C. D. E. F." said the clerk, as
the popularity of their initials became
apparent to him. How about @. Fl. l.,

Strangely enough, Chase and Frame
had never before noticed this peculiar
consecutiveness of the first six letters
of the alphabet when their initials were
combined.

"a Milk White Flag

The attraction at the Salt Lake
theatre on Friday and Saturday of this
week will be Hoyt's "a Milk White
Flag" None of the Hoyt plays have
been found deficient in the elements
which attract play-goers, and "A Milk
White Flag" is without doubt one of
the most popular of this authors sue
cesses. A remarkable feature about the
Hoyt comedies is that there are no
two alike, excepting that they all have
a satirical tinge. Perhaps no other
American author has displayed such
versatility in securing motives for his
plays as has Mr.. Hoyt. In this comedy
he has written a good natured satire of
the National Guard, a subject which he
has succeeded in treating with extra
ordinary originality, wit and humor.
It's success has been phenomenal, and
the war in Cuba and the Philippines
has caused anything pertaining to the
military to become very popular with
ali classes of people. "a Milk White
Flag is equipped with entirely new
scenery and costumes this year, and
the musical numbers and specialties
have been changed and improved. The
company includes several of the old
favorites, and is said to be one of the
strongest ever engaged for this play.
