PRESS AGENTS PROMISE.

David Warfield, who is so favorably
remembered for his work with the
Weber & Fields company, will begin
his engagement at the salt Lake the
atre next Thursday night. No happier
or more popular selection could have
been made, for Warfield comes flushed
with the triumph of his remarkable
tour last season, including his four
months stay at the Bijou, New York,
where the 'houss full was cOnspicu-
Gus at every performance. David
/ Belasco's new star was the sensation
of the season on Broadway, and his
strikingly real and artistic imperson-
alton of Simon Levi became the talk
of the town. The play in which David
Belasco presents David WarfielC is
1.-The Auctioneer,' referred to as
/ character comedy. This suggests, and
indeed il is likely, that 1.-The Auc-
tioneer" will prove TO have been writ
ten and produced on the old Harrigdn
and Hart model That is to say, its
people viii be quaint characters to be
found in the poorer Districts of New
York-this time the locality is Hester
street-and its scenes will be repre-
sentative of familiar corners Of the
cosmopolitan town. Warield win of
course be the center of interest. The
/ character of Simon Levi gives him the
fullest scope in the line of comedy
which has made his so successful in
recent years. Mr.. Belasco has given
his best endeavors to this production,
supplying il with new scenery and a
score of pretty girls. Moreover. he has
brought together an uncommonly
strong company. Among these the
most important are: Marie Bates. the
/ tipping aunt in Mrs Carriers "Zaza";
/ Robert Fischer. Dallas Tyler. Eugene
