There are good many charming
things I'm "A Dairy Farm" presented
for the first time here last evening at
the Theater. The authoress has la
bored to- build up a rural stage picture,
Astounding with quaint and homely in
cidents, after the lines OF the lamented
Herne, and when she has chung to this
style, she has succeeded very we'll She
made her mistake In endeavoring TO
blend the quiet. homely and rural with
a touch of the blood thirsty and lurid;
while the latter features caught the
fancy OF the gallery habitues, they
rather Jared on the sensibilities OF
the lower part OF the house. The indi-
Vidual acting was In many cases adj
mirable, and few more artistic things
have been seen here this season than
the delightful "Minty" OF Miss Waldrop
who might be another edition of
Mabel Hte--the old miser OF Mr. Rock,
the Eunice Jane Perkins of Miss Hart
ley (who was occasionally reminiscent
of May Irwin, and the Sarah of Miss
Ward Mr., Byers as the stern old
squire was also good, but MIR. Davis as
the hero was hardly convincing, The
episode Of the Christmas Eve party
was charmlngly acted by the entire
company.
The whole production Is well worth
seeing, and the final opportunities to
witness II will be tonight, tomorrow
afternoon and evening
MIR. jolly OF Joliet" was received
with open arms at the Grand last night.
He might well be. for he came with a
company of first class performers, and
as pretty a chorus as has ever been
seen In Salt Lake, The author of the
play in introducing Il, says he does so
not with the idea Of putting lbsen and
Plnero permanently out Of the business,
but merely as an effort TO drive away
dull care. Well, Mr.. Newman sue
ceeds admirably, with the able assis-
lance OF Mr.. Edward CARVE, his clev
er company and his pretty chorus girls.
No one expects a musical farce to
have much Of plot, and the plot last
night was not much more than a peg
on which TO hang several first class
music hall turns. Edward CARVE Is an
all-round clever comedian, whose ia
cial expression alone was enough to
amuse the audience. There was no
weak point In the cast and the best
were hard to pick out. Jack Marshall,
as the village pest, caused uproarious
laughter Jack Baldwin as "Cheste"
Wayback was also good. Miss Molie
Thompson, in a "Bowery" role was very
amusing and did very clever musie
cal speciality turn in the first act. Miss
Gertrude Foot as Aurelia Judson Show
ed herself to be a capital Coincidence.
Mr. Jolly Of Joliet should play to a
crowded house tonight and (tmorrow
night Matinee tomorrow at p. m.
