Little Miss June Mathis is
Achieving Fame.

Salt Lake has sent a good many sons
and daughters to theatrical fame and
fortune. but of ali her predigies none
has commenced with the same brilliant
prospects as Miss June Mathis, who has

between the bandit and Parthenia, his
Grecian love. She knew LAS You Like
It from beginning 10 end, and could
give entertaining bits from nearly all
Of Shakespe3Te's plays long before she
had entered her teens. All this she ac-
cOmplished without assistance IL was
not until a year ago Uaat her parents
concluded TO Ekatify the child's amfoi-

duct In order to calm the imminent
storm, The girl recites for her mother,
rendering several styles of elocution-

thirty minutes, and. except at the last
moment, the young actress has the
stage all to herself. There is fine sub
stance in the little play for humor,

widest possible scope and to test her
versatility.

MISS Ethelyn Markham won the
IVI honor of being queen Of the street
fair just as the clock struck Z
last night, after the closest voting con-
test ever fought in this city. the near
est competitor being Miss Florence
Lewis. The final vote on these two
candidates was q, 651 and 2S.O6S. out of
a total of 67,S07, and although the ballot
boxes were closed promptly at 1880 in
the evening, the final result was nor
obtained till midnight
The real contest vas fought out be
tween the friends of Miss Lewis and
MISS Markham yesterday and last
evening and the interest taken is indi-
Gated by the fact that during the day
and evening p, 369 votes were cast for
Miss Lewis and 2C.5O2 for Miss Mark

she proved to be the winner in the end
