believe that Salt Lake is destined TO
become one Of the greatest of the vest
ern cities. if they did not believe that
a great municipality is growing up
here in the mountains. they would not
think of spending the millions of dol
lars they must expend in order to get
here.
Ii is not possible now to estimate the
value the new road will be to Salt Lake,
but that it win bring much money here,
that it win be material factor in the
growth and prosperity of the city, no
one viii question. The Burlington will
afford the Salt Lake Route another out
let to the east and the north, and it
win afford increased freight and pas
senger transportation facilities for the
residents of this section. Besides. COM
ing in here from Wyoming, it win open
up new section of country that viii
naturally be tributary TO Salt Lake
City.
The time is not far distant when Salt
Lake City VIII be the hub of one of the
most prosperous and progressive sec
lions of the United States, with rail-
roads radiating from it, as spozes in a
wheel, in every direction. We can't
have too many railroads in this coun-
try, for every new line adds its quota
TO the general advancement.
The Herald hastens to welcome the
approach of the Burlington. We want

late the people of Salt Lake and OF

ton.

Kitty Morton is a fourth emergency

talented children, so that there may

youngsters bulged so with ability that
one stage wouldn't hold them along
with Josep.line's husband, Fred Niblo,
and George MS wife. Ethel Levy.
The half of the Four MortOns who are
father and mother, however, don't
have to be secondary TO the half which
is son and daughter. The Morton fam
lily balance is maintained in Lee Ar
thurs new piece. Breaking Into So

rosy, pretty little body that she lead
the quartette easily. Kitty plays a
kind of belle of Avenue \ that is dit-
ferent from Ellie Fay's. The middle
act of both farces shows a break into
smart society. Elfie's caste breaker is
tough really and Kitty's only pretends
10 be. Kitty Is an Edna May for de-
mureness and Elfie is a Marie Dress
Ter for boldness. Ellie wears mOdish

No audience has laughed moro at a
Shakespearean comedy than one did,

Elizabethan stage ever saw. However,
SOtheTn and Marlowe need not defend
their course with 1.-THE Tanning of the
Shrew," for that play is COMMONLY
tempered with i'm performance and may
have been clOWnish in the representa-
lions directed by Shakespeare himself.

Managers of producing theatres in
Broadway don't inform themselves of
available ability among actors else
where. They find out nothing about
the ability that comes into the edges OF
the town with minor travelling COM
panies. / concede that a player with
vogue has an extraneOus value, yet
to my thinking a change of faces IS a
relief of monotony, and surely play
is better off if the characters it intro
duces are really. as they purport to be,
strangers TO the audience. There was
that kind Of satisfaction at matinee
performance of THE Player Maid,
for even its star actress. Florence
Davis, although known to some of New
York society as a gFand-niece OF JET
fersOn Davis, was a new personality on
our stage. This Miss Davis is a dupli-
cate of that Fay Davis who has good
theatrical rating. The similarity eX-
tends from looks to acting; the quality
as we'll as the mannerism is the same
in both; and 1t is all by chance, for 1t
comes from neither kinship nor imita-
ton. Florence Davis has acquired ia
cIity as a cOmedienne-nOt enough OF
it to distinguish her greatly. yet suffi
cient TO save her from the derision conf
monty encountered by those who try to
get a start fameWardS in q single
Broadway afternoon. She brought a

call as ever having seen before. Yet

Al EW YORK. Oct. 21.-Chrlstian reli-
v gion. Tammany politics and
Shakespearean literature are set
forth newly on the New York stage.
Christianity is the subject of The Naz-
arene." the title OF which promises. or
at least threatens, that Christ VIII be
seen and heard. The audiences hope
and dread that il will be so, if l may
judge by the one I watched, for expec-
tatton and apprehension We're in the
faces all around US. The play began
in the Jerusalem palace of High Priest
Calnaphas, to whom HerOd's concubine,
Herodias, denounced Christ as a sedi-
tious agitator who ought TO be de-
stroyed. Leper Simon asserted the
truth of the redeemer's gospel and the
genuineness of his miracles. Apostle
Peter was there, and Simon oade lin
testify for his master, but he denied
him while the cock crew. Judas was
present, too. and he accepted the bribe
TO betray the Nazerene TO the soldiers
sent to fetch him. Pontius Plate ar
rived TO hold the trial, and while wait
ing he sentenced Barrabas, who had
already been converted to the new re-
liglon. HeTOdiaS was so hatefully sure
OF Christs crucifixion that she had
brought along the crown of thorns and
the cross. Simon begged to carry the
cross to Calvary, and the weak, dis
tOrted leper would have fallen under
the burden but by the miracle of his
cure, he became instantly strong and
shapely. Judas returned in remorseful
agony, threw down the pieces of sill
Yer and fled from the approach of the
the prisoner. The eager and apprehen-
siye audience was stare-eyed and tense
nerYed. Evidently it would be disap-
pointed If Christ did not enter and
dismayed if he did. But the action
passed suddenly to the convulsion of
nature after the crucifixion, the palace
fell in ruins, a luminous cross appear
down.

baker in the BOwery section, where he

a ball in Tammany hall after his 2

And what could Yankee doodle do,

As the singer is Joseph CaWthOrne,

dian, and as the purpose of the play is
to pOpulariZe him, it is fair to assume
that the Yankee-doOdle-do doodle refrain
is meant for an assertion of what is

teal politics. New York has a munich

We are accustomed to condensations
and arrangements in dramatiZations
Of books, but in this case the book is
the Bible and the liberties taken in
that prologue of The NazerenS' seem
startlingly audacious. Thereafter the
play illustrates Roman persecution Of
the early Christians in the manner of
many others, including The Prince
of Peace" which Hal Reid and Bertha
Westbrook, authors of this one, pro-
duced years ago. Quite as usual, Nero
lusts for the Christian maid, and, when
she resists him, condemns her to death
in the arena. Some playwrights have
made Nero or some other of the Gaze
sars, yield to the girls charm of piety
and set her free. Wilson Barrett
turned him into a Christian convert and
loving bridegroom. Victorien Sardou
left him cruel, and showed the fair
