MUSIC AND DRAMA.

During the past five years the most
successful of all n1elo-dramas have been
those that contained touch of nature
that appealed to the heart-such dramas
viii live forever and anon. 1t was with
this fact before him that Hal Reid who
is known as tn author of Human
Hearts, took a trip down to Tennessee
and after spending several monts in the
mountains. mixing and mingling with the
natives of that section wrote and placed
before the public Knobs o. Tennessee
and it is now considered his most famous
play. 1t is full of dramatic situations,
thrilling climaxes and pathetic scenes
the author taking great care not to over
draw them.
The light almost ephemerai plays that
for a long time reigned supreme, are
gradually passing and being replaced by
those containing more substantial merit,
which is in part, the reason Of the sue
cess of KNOBS O. t. nessee." This
clever production will De elaborately
staged, a strong cast and presented at
the popular Crawford theater Thursday,
March 21st.

new rooms have been added and With
in the past two years the patronage
has increased enormously. with pros
pect of further expansion. Illustrative
of the growth of business. there have
been 1000 more batherS so far this
month than for the entire monEl Of
July Of fast year.
Yesterday 300 people went in bath
ing and many more would have bought
tickets had there been enough kiss to
rooms to supply the demand without
tedious waiting. A partial relief for
the pressure was the opening OF forty
newly equipped bath rooms on the
north arm. for the first time in the his
tory Of the resort. Here about 200
De irons were accommodated. While
the water is not so shallow close to
these rooms, this section viii not be
used during the remainder Of this sea-
son. except on days when the patronage
is abnOrmally large.
That the bathing business at the re-
sort is the most profitable. not except
ing the railroad transportation, is ad-
mitted by the management of SaltaiT.
but, at the same time, it is conceded
that if whisky were Obtainable at the
bar, many patrons would buy bathing
tickets. Many bathers prefer corn
Juice to beer after coming out of the
water to take off the chill, imaginary
or real. and so long as they cannot
have their needs in this respect salts
fed they refrain from bathing. 1t is,
therefore, not improbable that whisky
may be restored next year

rooms Next Year.

Profting by the experience Of a rec
ord-breaking season and lack of facil-
tiles to supply all the demands Of bath
ers on big days. it is the intention Of
the management Of Saltair to double
the bath house accommodations for
next season. Now there are but 500
rooms for the use Of bathers, but with
the opening of the resort next year.
Manager McAllister announced last
evening. the accommodations for bath
ers VIII be increased TO 1000 Only in
this way. he believes, complaints Of
reimbursement and, inefficiency in
handing large crowds can be avoided.
in discussing the matter. Manager
McAllISter said that the resort is am
ply supplied with bathing suits and
tOWe.s. but il is short of rooms when
more than 5,0G0 people in a day pat
ronlZe the resort for the purpose Of
taking a dip in the brine. The plan in
view and to which the owners have
given tentative assent, is that the
rooms in the north arm of the big pier
VIII be made seTviceable and in addi-
ton this the south arm will
be extended and new rooms built
The reason for practically cOnclud-
ing upon this enlargement of accom-
mOdatiOns for batheTs is that the own
ers of the resort have awakened to the
fact that the accommodations for bath
ers have not kept pace with the. grow
ing demand of patrons. Since the year
after the resort was Quilt, in 1885, no
