Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1904-03-26

This Is the tenor Of dispatch Just
received by Manager PIPER which has
set the Salt Lake Tneater forces into
futter, such as they have not known
since the time OF the visit of Edwin
Booth himself Two months from this
writing therefore, unless something un-
forseen interyenes, Salt Lake will have
the pleasure Of welcoming the one
among her many daughters who have
adopted the stage, who has shed most
lustre upon her profession, ana GAINED
the greatest renown for herself. 1t will
be the red letter event not only Of the
season, but Of recent years, nj the old
play house and without doubt, Salt
Lake citizens will see that Mss Adams
does not soon forget her home coming.
What she VIII do besides THE Pretty
Sister Of Jose" yet remains to be
determined. She said to the writer In
New York only few weeks since, that

Salt Lake friends TO see her In all three
of her recent successes, THE Pretty
Sister Of Jose" quality Street" and
'The Little Minister"
Miss Adams last appeared In Salt
Lake with John Drew, on Aug, 20 and
o. 1894, when they played "The But
terfly," and The Masked Ball. That
was before she became a star. Soon
after Charles Frohman, perceIving her
undoubted talents, decided to make her
his foremost stellar attraction, and the
distinguished success she has met
with ever since, showed how correct
was his estimate OF her gifts,
Apropos Of Miss Adams coming, a
special word of caution may be said to
the matinee girls OF Salt Lake. Her
leading man, Mr. AInley who after this
tour will sail for England to take part
IN Eleanor Robson's London production
Of Merely Mary Ann" is noted as
about the most distractingly handsome
actor now before the footlghts, and
those whose hearts have not already
been stormed by Sothern, Edeson or
Farnum, may as well prepare to hand
over the keys Of the citadel now.

out, a new play was constructed with
the same character as the central figure,
and the name of THE Old Homestead

been done in every nook and corner OF
the United states year after year, and
II has always interested and always
