PRESS AGENTS PROMISE

A really famous attraction comes
70 the Salt Lake theatre tomorrow
night for an engagement of three
nights, without the usual matinee.
The press agent says: "'The Stroll
lers' is a musical play in three acts.
The book is by Mr.. Harry B. Smith of
Robin Hood" fame, the music by Mr..
Ludwig Highlander, the composer of
many OF the recent musical successes
IN the metropolis. A brief synopsis of
the story is as follows: Bertha, a Hun
garlan gypsy and ballad singer, having
married Augustus Lump, d tradesman.
the TWO enter upon a prolonged career
or bad luck. resulting in their taking
70 the road as strOllers. picking I'D a
hVifg by giving entertainments at
country fairs, etc. In the course of
their rambles they happen to find a.
diamond necklace and a thousand
mark note, the property of a prince.
Many ludicrous situations follow in
thelr endeavor to return the necklace
10 It's proper owners without casting
reHecIons upon themselves, during
which al sorts of DISCUSSES are resort
ed TO by all concerned. The story is
snappy and easy to follow, and the
music is the sort that sends one away
from the theatre whistling some air OF
the play.

A little book Just out has stirred up
a furOre in professional circles. II is
entitled by the Stage Door" and is
the joint work of Ada Patterson, a
New York newspaper woman, and Vic
tory Bateman, the well known actress.
Mrs. Annie Adams. the mother of
Maude Adams, has furnished a preface
for the book. giving the stories in it
her sanction and telling that she has
witnessed some of the events and
known the heroes and heroines in real
life on the stage. The stories incident
ally are said to be bold in their faith
fulness to the truth, and this fact is
what has caused such a stir. as it is
said some Of the truths told on the
real principals in the story would have
remained untold if they had anything
10 do with it. Fictitious names are
used, but those who know have been
able to recognize the characters.-Cin-

The Grand theatre remains dark until
Thursday evening. when the popular
Richards & Pringie minstrel combina-
ton begins an engagement of three
nights, with matinee Saturday. OF the
attraction, the press agent SAYS:
Its programme is a revel of bright
minstrel ideas. retaining the pleasing
traditions of ''Old plantation days" as
well as the gaudy, dandihed acts of to-
day. and runs the entire gamut of the
best in vaudeville and minstrelsy.
Every feature is new this season. and
the organization is the best effort OF
its enterprising management. One of
the special features this year express
ly engaged for this tour is Bonomor's
troupe of Arabian acrobats. A special
train of the companys own Pullman
cars is used in its transportation, and
the street parade. which takes place at
2:3O p. m. on the day Of the company's
arrival in this city, is one Of the most
pleasing spectacles one would wish 10
witness, as il introduces new features
and many Of them. Watch and wait for
the big event.

Joseph Jefferson tells a story Of
dramatic business" in the earlier days
of the Walnut Street theatre in Phila-
delphia. Camille" was being played,
and all was going with intensity. Then
came a scene between Camille and Ar
mand. In the course Of which a SER
want was to enter with lights
In those days" says Mr.. Jefferson,
sea island cotton was stage ice cream,
just as mOlasses and water was stage
wine, sherry or port, according to the
proportion of molasses. Armand and
Camille were seated at the table, where
they had been enjoying such Vfands
as these, and their dialogue was MAX
ing the very best sort of an impress
sion on a crowded house. Then in
came that maid servant with the wab-
bliest sort of candelabra. The scene
was so engrossing that she was scarce
ly noticed, but when she set down her
burden between the lovers and one
candle toppled out and put the ice
cream in a BLACKWELL the strain was
broken. The entire audience burst into
a laugh. and the curtain had TO be
rung down."
