the Boston Lyric Opera company. 1t

leading role in the comic operas Of the
repertoire.
Robert Cummings of the Cummings
Stock company is considering a prOpo-
sition to bring an opera company here
for the Salt Palace theatre next sum

THE OUTLOOK.

For the second time this season Salt
Lake is to be favored by the visit of
an actress about whom two continents
are talking. And it is a question
whether Mrs Leslie Carter or "Zaza, -
Belasco's great drama, which she pre-
sents, has held the bigger share Of
public attention. Mrs. Carter appears
on Thursday and Friday. with a spe-
cial matinee Friday. Rather than take
the risk Of reaching San Francisco be-
hind time. the management did away
with the Saturday dates.
Whether under the title of Nell
Gwynn." Mistress Nell" or Sweet

spoken of as one of the most dramatic

the composition is the old Corsican le-

DIR. MOJLEN7',S CHURCH SUED.
MRS. ANNIE W. STEPHENS SEEKS TO
FORECLOSE \ MORTGAGE.

1t is probable that the publication of the sus-
pension Of the Rev DR. Alfred II. Moment by
the Brooklyn Presbytery hurried an action which
was taken late yesterday afternoon TO foreclose
a mortgage upon the Emmanuel Presbyterian
Church, in Flatbush. Brooklyn. This was the
church which DR. Moment was supplying at the
time Of his suspension and OF which he would
probably have become the ordained pastor. The
church has had troubled. though brief, career,
and II is believed that the foreclosure of the
mortgage, coming upon the division In the
church the Rev. George L. McClelland and
the present scandal arising from the actions of
DR. Moment. will result in the organization pass
ing out Of existence.
The suit is brought by Annie ". Stephens
against the Emmanuel Church. and benjamin F.
Stephens is made a co-defendant because he has
claim against the church. On account Of the
absence of the plaintiff in Spain, her affidavit
was filed by George V Morgan & Sons Of No
p William-st.. Manhattan. The mortgage to be
foreclosed is for S13,9OO

back by assignment by the executor Of the will

mortgage has been paid
Mr.. and Mrs 'terhenS were active organizers
