Christ, and Is the room IN which Jus

tlnian code. The fourth act goes back
10 the Grecian style of architecture
and depicts the home Of Andreas. The
fifth act is in the imperial box over
looking the hippOdrome. The last act
IS also divided. The palace OF Jus

emperor hides to escape the heat Of the
burning city, ends with a view Of the

Andreas and Theodore meet their

one of the most successful American
plays produced in a good many years.
It Will return TO Salt Lake, with its
record behind it, next Friday and Sat

The author is credited with having
given a vivid picture Of social life IN
Kentucky, and with the has
woven enough thrilling incidents into
the story TO win the applause of those
who crave for the spirited action of

Of p~tckaninnies, who, to use a COM
mon expression, lend local color to the
scene. The heroine is a pretty, young,
mountain maid. It is a new type-for
she wears neither short hair nor short
dresses-far removed from the tradi-

Of the week. 1t opened with "Ermine,"
and followed with the Chimes of Nor
mandy Bohemian Girl and THE
Mascot" The company is not particU-
larry strong in vocal talent, but it
gives its operas quite a~cCeptabIy and
as a popular priced attraction is worth
seeing. Susie Kirwin takes the leading
roles, and she has good support in For
est HUI and ". II. KOhnle. The latter
is doing exceptionally good comedy
work. The chorus is a little thin in
voice, but fortunately there are about
it no indications Of that middle age
maturity which makes improvement a
thing out Of the question. All the voices
as well as the faces are fresh, and there
is a youthful lightness about its stage
movements that is in marked contrast
to the matrOnly waddling of most comic
opera choruses. The company carries
an unusually large amount Of scenery"
The company is giving matinees at
20 and 10 cents.

Miss Blair and her fine company pre-
scented Camille yesterday afternoon
at the Salt Lake theatre. The house
was a little more than half filed and
about so per cent Of the audience was
feminine. The number Of handker-
chiefs in evidence was quite as much a
tribute to Miss Blair as to Dumas. for
the actress gives a splendid portrayal
of the heroine o~utcast, vet hardly ex-
cites the same amount Of sympathy in

consultation. and the result of a dag
nOsis was that the actress had a well
developed case Of appendicitis. An Op-
Grafton was deemed necessary and it
was successfully performed. Imagine,
then, the Amusement of the surgeon
when upon the removal of the vermi-
form appendix the long lost diamond
was found. Miss Blair's surprise was
as great as that OF the surgeon. whom
she b0uatifully reimbursed for his skill.
Misc Blair was puzzled for a long
time TO learn how the gem could have
possibly met such a peculiar fate, but
she remembered that while troubled
{ with a slight nervous affection some
time ago she contracted the habit of
niboling at the setting of her rings.
1t was while doing this that she IN
consciously swallowed the highly priced
jewel"
Marager Gressitt is confident that
the foregoing e~ffusion is the limit, and
he offers a substantial forfeit if it is
beaten this season.
Here is another advance" story
which is altogether cOntemporaneous
with Mr.. Gressitt's contribution:

Duchess Of Cornwall and York. have

hundreds of poles. gay with bunting,
