no such thing as throwing the voice and
that it is simply an illusion in which the
eye plays q bigger part than the ear For

voice-throwing theory was generally ac-
cepted.

Manager Piper says that the only
complaints he has heard aprOpOs Of
the Nevada concert. concerned the tenn
perature of the house and the noisy
steam pipes. If my patrons were un-
comfortable. he says, "how do they
suppose I felt? My first aim is to make
the people who come to my theatre
comfortable, and on this occasion, of
all others. I had tried to have every
thing in perfect order"
DR.. Palmer, Nine. Nevada's husband,
had requested that the heat for the
evening be moderated, and the engineer
counted upon the warmth which
usually. comes with a crowd. But the
evening was damp, and mud and slush
were tracked into the Theatre. Some
mysterious dTaughts made themselves
felt. with the result that complaints
have made Mr.. Pyper's life a burden
ever since. He has already started
some improvements to prevent further
trouble from draUghts through doors
leading from the auditorium to the
stage. and viii do everything in his
power to prevent a repetition Of Mon
day nights experience. So it is not
likely TO happen again, and people who
are inclined to think that it was done
just TO annoy them, should remember
that no one regrets the occurrence
more than does Mr.. PypeT.
There were scarcely any complaints
regarding the advanced prices for the
Nevada engagement. Some few who
were not posted beforehand. refused to
buy seats when informed at the box
office, but these were not many. For
such an engagement, people should eX-
pect tC pay a slight advance. Com
pare a concert Of this kind with some
Of the shows we have seen for a
dollar and a half, and one can readily
see that it is well worth the differ
ence. People who object to 81 for a con-
cert here, viii probably so to New
York and pay more than that for a
poor seat TO hear one of the small
fry" artists. They object to it here
because il is above the regular prices
Of the house, while a $3.50 seat at
the Metropolitan Opera house viii be
considered a bargain for any entertain
ment, because il is known to be half of
the usual price. The result Of the
Nevada concert has been most graft
flying TO the Theatre management. and
Manager Piper hopes to present many
more such attractions in the future.
BY this one occasion, it has been clear
~ demonstrated that high class con-
certs at the Salt Lake theatre can be
made to pay, and thus precedent is |
established. For the present season,
Walter DamrOsch, David Bispham and
Gadsld are booked for a date IN
March, and PadeTe7Viski viii come to
the Theatre in April.

general attention to insignificant hos
tile criticism, Of which scarcely any

raised such an outcry. The unfortunate
part Of it was that a good deal OF it

dramatic worth, but in many other
