~% oMoRRow afternoon and
IS evening Denver will hand
81 down its verdict on "Corian-
ton. and with undeniable in
terest Salt Lake has turned its eyes
in that direction. While Denver's opin-
ion can hardly be regarded as a met
ropoIitan criterion, what the critics
there have to say about the production
ought to give fairly good idea of the
reception in store for "Corianton'
among the disinterested theatre-going
public of America. 1t means much. 1t
will be the Indicator Of success or fall
ure of a project in which Utah men
have invested thousands. 1t goes with
out saying that the company took along
the best wishes of every Salt Laker.
One grave danger threatens ''Corian-
ton" aside from the defects of the
play This is the likelihood of an i'm
preston going forth that the produc-
ton is backed by the Mormon church
and is intended to accomplish mission
ary work Such a belief would kill the
production instantly. The Washington
Star has already said the dominant
church is exploiting" the play, and in
nearly all the eastern papers "Cortan-
tom is referred to as 1.-The Mormon
production" To let the public know
that it is largely a Utah production is
all right, but allow any further report
to spread and people will avoid it as
they would smallpox.
Here at home the fallacy of such a
view is apparent The stockholders
are members of the church, but there
is no connection between the church it
self and the drama On the contrary,
the production was given the cold
shoulder by the highest ecclesiastical
authorities. The play tells how a mis-
sionary fell before the charms of the
only VIGOROUSLY bad woman mentioned
in the Book of Mormon, and the sub
ject Is altogether too literal to receive
the sanction of the Mormon church, no
matter how anxious the officials may
be to encourage Utah talent.
"Corianton" VIII be seen in Denver

The route from there on is as follows:
Council Bluffs, Sept. 10, opening new
opera house; Sioux City, IL; Des

certain whether two weeks or only one

on there has not been a booking closed
The company has it's choice, Manager
Blair explained, of two routes, one

rect to Chicago for a six weeks run al

some of his characteristic expressions

careful preparations before attempting

In my business has made me extremely
cautious. never undertake job with
out due consideration of all details. A
sneak thief may go around from house
to house IN an aimless sort of manner
and enter the first one that is not prop
erly barred, but not so with a pro-
fessional.
John always sent me or to exercise
the horses on the few days when Mr..
Goddard did not use them, and 1 en-
ployed these spare moments to ac-
quaint myself with the surrounding
country. 1 passed Dr. Squires' house
few days, examining the premises with
critical eye.
I found that the house was located
some distance back from the main
highway and that it was nearly con-
cealed from view by shade and fruit
trees. A small grove of woods backed
up to it on one side and an open pas
ture field bordered it on two other
sides. The easiest and safest approach
to IL, 1 conceived, was from the wood
side.
The house itself was an old fashioned
fiat rooted mansion sadly in need of
paint and general repairs. 1t was
gloomy enough TO drive almost any
body away from 1t after dusk, and /
did not wonder that strange stories of
ghosts and spirits had been gossiped
around by the country people. II had
been a superstitious person, 1 should
have selected the house as the last one
to rob. IL was probably this idea that
