A letter from Manager George D.
Pyper Of the Salt Lake theater, who
is at Brighton, says:
The attraction which opens the Salt
Lake theater for the coming season
viii not be Mantel after all. but our
own popular salt Lake Opera company
from the coast by the San Francisco
disaster. and during the week wired
Mr.. Pyper Cancelling his dates. The
Salt Lake Opera company thereupOn
shifted their opening to Saturday
afternoon. Sept To- anu will give four
night and two matinee performances
OF The Wedding Day visiting ogden,
Provo and Logan after The perform
ances here.
Miss Agatha BerkhOel has returned
from her California vacation. and Miss
Gates Is expected back during the
week. Messrs. Spencer. Pyper. Dougall,
Graham, Ensign and Miss Dwyer are
already here, and Prof. Mcclellan
meets the members of his chorus three
times a week"
The bill at the Orpheum this week
VIII contain some new features, which
undoubtedly will be received with in
terest by the discriminating audiences
OF Salt Lake. In the first place, the
best sketch company on the circuit will
be the heaUiiner. and will remain here
for n run Of two weeks. Wilfred
Clarke. assisted by Miss Theo Carew
and company. will present What VIII
Happen Next" a high class playlet full
OF good. clean humor and devoid Of
horse play. That it will be an artistic
production goes without saying. when
IL Il is understood that &c is i'm the
hands OF people who a few months ago
were playing on Broadway, New York,
in legitimate roles. Wilfred Clarke is
q son OF John 8. Clarke and a nephew
Of Edwin Booth He is also part owner
OF Walnut Street theater, Philadel-
pbia. He was leading comedian with
Barry Sullivan, Edwin Booth, Law
renee Barrett, Julia NARROW, Ada
Rehan and Augustin Days New York
company, filling the position left va
cant by the late James Lewis. Miss
Carew was formerly leading woman
with Ada Rehan; also for three seasons
previous ingenue with the Augustin
DAILY New York company. Both are
now taking a flyer in vaudeville. and
what is more TO the point, are essen
TALLY making good.
Next on the bill are listed Camille
Comedy Trio. triple horizontal bar ex-
perts. who are winners. Then, there
a little sketch OF their own that is
reDlete with comedy.
For "A downright novelty Mr. and
Mrs. Edward II. Kemps fill the bill in
vaudeville. One hardly associates an
illustrated lecture with modern vaude-
vile; nevertheless, since this couple
left the Pond lecture bureau and Joined
the OrDheum circuit they made a ten
strike. The lantern slides Of their
ne ho
quisite, artistic plates, while the mo-
ton pictures showing the only pictures
ever taken OF a stake dance, with the
Indians capering around with rattle
snakes i'm their mouths, must be seen
10 be appreciated. Altogether this act
will be the talk of the town before the
week is over.
The song and dance turn is in the
hands Of Bernice and boy, who are said
TO be up-to-date singers and dancers.
George YeOman, eccentric comedian,
furnishes a Dutch monoIogue and the
kinodrome falls into line with the very
latest thing i'm motion picture drama.
Notwithstanding the keen disappoint-
ment experienced by Manager Grant in
the disappearance OF Herschel Mayall,
he still asserts that the Lyric Stock
company which opens I'm 1.-The Bond

will be the strongest company i'm the
northwest. Ever since receiving the
first telegram from Mayall, he has kept
the wires hot securing a new leading
man and woman from New York. and
probably today two new people are well
OF, their way here. Eugene Frazier
who plays the heavies. arrived from
New York Thursday. Mr.. Frazier was

and viii create a whole lot Of talk IN
salt Lake. Alice CoudOn will be the
soubrette. and will arrive from Seattle
some time today. The Lyric theater
on the opening night will hardly be
recognized. the painters and decorators
having made complete change in the
appearance OF the house. A force OF
carpenters and scene painters are now
at work building new scenery for the
