The ranks of the dramatic pioneers
in Utah are thinning rapidly. Within
the last four weeks four of them have
seen the houses of their lives dark
ened, for four the final curtain has
fallen. They are John S. Lindsay of
Salt Lake, Hugh DougaH of Spring
vile, Harry Bowring of Brigham City
and John c. Graham of Provo. To this
list should be added the name OF Ebe-
nezer Beesley, member of the first the
atre orchestra. Only a few of the old
boys are left, but their faces are set
bravely toward the future; they re-
fuse to dwell in the ashes of the past.
Perhaps best known among the living
is Phil Margetts, who, for more than
half a century, has been a prominent
figure in the dramatic history of the
state. It was in 1885 that Mr.. Margetts
organized the first theatrical company
ever gotten together i'm Utah. OF that
old company, John T. Game. H. B.
Clawson, and perhaps a few others are
living Most of them are hale and
hearty and looking forward to many
more years of usefulness.
The suggestion has often been made.
and it is repeated here, that before the
last ~ the veterans mas passed TO his
reward one OF them should write an
authentic history of the drama in Utah.
John 5. Linds-v left behind him a work
along this line. but Mr.. Lindsay's lit
tie volume was hastily prepared and.
while il contains much of value, il does
not tell the whole story. 1t is greatly
to be hoped that Mr. Marge+ts. Mr..
Game or Mr. ClawsOn will be able to
find the opportunity To tell. as only one
Of them could. the story of their dra-
matte pioneering.
Another veteran who, while identified
to a marked degree with the stage i'm
this state, has lot spent all the years
Of his theatrical endeavor here. is John
Mcguire, Mr., Ma guire would be an In
valuable cOllabo' 5tOI in any story that
might be prepared. And. Mr. Mcguire
possesses the additional advantage of
being a fluent and graphic writer He
and Mr. Margetts should certainly get
together
