lighted big audience at the Grand last
night. Salt Lake has had a number of
minstrel shows this season but, Win
not more than one exception. IL has had
none so good as Barlow's. This is say
ing a good deal, too. People who went
expecting to hear a lot of cheap, old
Whlskered gags and funny business,
were agreeabiy disappointed.
3 1t would be impossible, Of course, TO
put minstrel first part through with
nut giving us something we had heard
. -tore BarlOw's did not achieve the
/ impossible but it did the next best
I thing. The old gags We're so few that
/ they We're lost sight of IN the general
] excellence of the performance. The
/ company is not large one, but il con-
! tains considerable talent.
] There was Charles Milton, for in
+ stance. Milton has been doing black
/ face stunts for a long time under one
/ Of the most serious handicaps that can
/ fan to the lot of any human being. He
/ Is almost totally blind. But nobody no.
| uced his afiictiOn last night. He was
! as merry as the best of them. He sang
/ and laughed and jOked and the house
\ applauded him until it was tired.
/ James Stuart was there with the
]
/ THE Song of All Songs" a medley of
/ all the popular songs, and some that
/ are not popular, and the audience
/ worked him overtime. His final bit was
/ an unmelodiOus quintette that stood
| the people up. 1t was as good a bit of
| business as has been seen at the Grand
! this season.
! Nearly all of the singers in the first
/ part labored under the handicaps Of
| colds, more or less serious. Neverthe-
less they appeared to good advantage
and If the huslUness wears off by to-
night. their part of the programme viii
/ be a real feature.
In the second part the first feature
/ was the COrnet solo by ]. A. Coburn.
/ Mr.. COburn has a thorough knowledge
| Of the instrument. and his selection was
received with noisy demonstrations of
approval By way of encore he played
| The Old Kentucky Home" which was
also well received
Something new in Salt Lake was the
Warm and Turenne team Of Roman AK
manipulatOrs. The way they juggled
[ the heavy implements was a revelation
l to most of the people in the house. The
act was warmly applauded at frequent
I intervals. Other splendid features were
dancing. Cameron and Toledo In grand
| opera selections and the Hates brothers
/ In acrObatic feats.
| There are many good laughs and sew
eral thrills in the Barlow performance.
/ The engagement runs through Wednes-
day night, with the usual Wednesday
matinee
The well known Clyde Fitch play,
Lovers Lane comes TO the SALT Lake
| theatre tonight for an engagement
| that viii run through tomorrow night
with the usual matinee.
The sale of seats for Rose Coghlan in
The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" opens at
the box Office Of the Salt Lake theatre
this morning.
The seat sale for "The Wrong Mrs.
Appleton" which viii fill out the last
half Of the week at the Grand, opens
this morning at the box office.
A fair house heard the recital given
at Barratt hall last night by the Uni
versity of Colorado Glee and Mandolin
clubs. OF the many numbers, including
encores to every selection, the instru-
mental pieces were easily the most
popular the Glee club being particu-
larry unhappy in its selections.
There are a number Of good voices in
the club, the bassos being particularly
strong. In the Winter Song" by Bull
lard, they showed TO best advantage
They also made a good impression in
the comic song Gas"
In The COzy Corner" and Spanish
SilhOuettes" the Mandolin club exhibit
ed a dash and swing that indicated
plenty of hard training. Another fea-
ture, and probably the most artistic of
the evening, was the banjo playing Of
+. NJ. Planque, who executed with the
greatest ease and skill such difficult
numbers as the Salome IntermezzO.
the NIiserere from II TrOvatOre" and
Haydn's Gypsy Rondo."
An event not on the programme, and
one that caused considerable amuse-
ment, was the rag-time step dancing of
C.. T. Van SAINT, who gave as an encore
an imitation Of a stiff-legged man dan
cling, which would have done credit to a
professional minstrel.
At the conclusion Of the recital last
night the Colorado boys were taken to
Temple hall on First South street and
a dance was given in their honor. There
was a large number of students pres
ent and a most pleasant time was had.
