At the end of a long list of indie
pendent theatres published in the New
York Dramatic Mirror the Grand of

season, would play independent. at
fractions. During the week F. c.
Smutzer of the firm of PeltOn & Smut
ger, leSsees of the Grand. announced
that the final details had been con-
Guided and that all the necessary con-
tracts had been signed. In the same
issue of the Mirror was published a
list of independent attractions. As

The Salt Lake theatre going public
is entitled to congratulations on the
Grand's declaration of independence.
It will enable the people here to see
the cream of all the theatrical produc-
lions, for the Klaw & Erlanger syndf-
cate may De depended upon. with
strong opposition here. to send nothing
but high-class productions to Salt
Lake
And speaking of the syndicate did
you notice that the doughty attorney
general of Texas busted it into
flinders. for the time being. at least?
Sarah Bernhard played one Texas
town in tent because the trust con-
trOlled all the theatres. It was the in
tentiOn OF her management to play
throughout Texas in a tent for the
same reason. Then the attorney gem
eral stepped in and announced that I'M
less the theatres were opened to Mad
anne Bernhard he would proceed
against the syndicate under the riSid
antitrust law of Texas. Is. & Z.
didn't care to take such a chance. and
the result was that the tent was aban-
dOned. All the theatres in Texas are
now open to Madame Bernhard.

The lone best bet" this week is Lit
tie Johnny Jones' as the Salt Lake
runs through Wednesday night, with a
matinee on Wednesday. If half the
good things people have been saying
about the performance are true there
ought to be difficulty in accommodate
ing the crowds.
At the Grand Thursday night the
performance Of "A Soldier of Fortune
is TO be a benefit for Theodore Torch.
Mr.. Torch has won high place III the
esteem of patrons OF the Grand, and
deservedIy so, for he is an actor of
considerable talent. There is no doubt
that a large audience will attend the
benefit for him. On Friday evening the
Torch company is to have a benefit,
with Her Fatal Love" as the play.
These will be the last appearances here
of Mr.. Lorch and his company for at
least a year.
Murray and Mack, old-time favor
ties I'm Salt Lake, are playing at the
salt Lake theatre this year and this
week. Their engagement is for Friday
and Saturday evenings and Saturday
matinee.
