Mason & Mason left bright impress
sion here when they appeared In "Ru'
dolph & Adolph' last season, and Man
myers Jones G. Hammer feel little doubt
that they will pick up the thread OF
good business Monday night where
they laid it down last year. Their en-
gagernant Is to last three nights and
a Wednesday matinee. The German
rag time songs of the two Masons arr
said to be hilarious things to listen to
and the company they bring Ia claim
ed to be bright and up-to-date.
For the last half of the week the
Grand management announces SEN
satIonal play from the Third Avenue
thester, New York, sailing under the
name Of The Convicts Daughter II
was brought out for the first time last
season. AID scored q big SUCCESS with
everyone who delights in thrilling sen
satlons, virtue triumphant and vlcs
knocked out. The,features Of the pro
ductlon are announced as the southern
home Of Col. Gould. stone quarry

cape OF Weary Willie on the top OF a
fast moving freight train"
Quite the most pretentlous Offering at
the Salt Lake Theater Of late Is the
engagement Of king Dodo' who VII,
hold court for two nights and matinee
commencing Friday evening next with
Raymond Hitchcock in the title role.
Mr.. Henry w Savage has sent on tour
the same brilliant company which de-
lighted New York for two months dur
+, ing the run of the piece at Days Thea
Ter and for seven months at the Stude-
baker Chicago King Dodo' Is the
creation Of Pixley and Luders, and Is
classed as comedy opera fun OF tune
flil catchy music, an evidence of which
Is the whstled melodies which are
Invariably heard after a performance,
The scenes are laid in imaginary Dodo-
land and have a BEAUTIFUL semi tropi-
81 cl setting. King D0dO' Is an imagln-
~ ary monarch with an imaginary king
dom who is searching for the fountain
Of youth. AT one moment the pseudo
King feels like the first syllable OF
telephone call and shortly after Is exer-
cising his royal prerogatives. Next he
becomes young again under the In
fuence OF an elixir but at the end re-
appears In his former role. The work
Is replete with scintillating epigrams'
gnrightly music, excellent military
drills by a lot of pretty girls in white
costumes and waving plumes, solos,
choruses, stirring cimaxes at the end
OF each act and effective ensembles.

The big musical festival in which
Tlery's Royal Italian band, the Tab
ernacle choir and the organ are all To-
have part, opens next Thursday after
neon and Will run three nights with
Saturday matinee, Everyone remem-
ners the tremendous hit this hand made
here last year when 1t was under the
leadership of the eccentric, but Won
derful Creatore. Creatore has been dis
Icnsed with, since then, because his
managers could not tolerate his bust
ness methods, but the same men, in
creased by the addition of 10 or 10 more,
have been engaged and placed under
the direction Of the noted bandmaster'
Rivea who Is as well known as COM
poser as he is as a leader. The band
ought to have royal reception.
l@ The voicing OF the Royal Italian
band Is as different from that Of the
average military concert band as day
Is from night 70 begin, there Is a pre-
ponderance OF reeds In this band, which
is Of itself a great advantage. Then
the leads In the Italian band are all
PLAYED by trumpets, and not comets,
which are used In the ordinary bands.
The trumpet Is a much more difficult
instrument to master than the cornet.
and has a decidedly purer and sweeter
tone and greater carrying power, Nor
Is the trumpet the only instrument
found In the Italian band that is a
stranger to other organizations. Oboes,
French horns, bombardlnoes and flu
glthorns are rarely heard outside OF
italian organizations. and when they
IRE used In other bands they are in
variably played by either an Italian or
German, generally an Italian These
Instruments with their pure, beautiful
tones, are what have made II possible
for this band TO attain the perfection
II has in rendering the great Italian
operas and masterpieces.
Bishop o. +. Whitney has received a
pleasant letter from Joseph Haworth,
the actor, dated at his home near viii
loughby, Ohio. lie says he Is waiting
fer call from Kansas City where he
expects 10 go TO play a round of char
acters such as "Richelieu," Hamlet"
'Shylock," "Jekyll & Hyde" "Thc
Pells," and possibly Julius Cesar" II q
is busily engaged building a new coun-
Try house and stables at present, upon
the Ridge Road" where he has q
nores OF land. He speaks pleasantly OF
his delightful stay in Salt Lake, though
be mourns the fate OF "Corianton" and
hopes It will not be long before It is
ilit upon its feet again. He says he
frequently hears from Mr.. Bean in New
York. who is very much greved at
the way matters were moving with his
play. He adds that he must sympa-
THE with that gentleman. for II seems
strange TO him that his play can be
locked up and his living imperiled by
such unbusinesslike methods as those
which have been pursued.
