ton at the Salt Lake theatre is sched-
uled for this week, The Lion and the
Mouse" The Lyric closes its eXtrava-
ganza season a week from next Friday
night. and the summer stock season is
already on at the Grand.
The big thea rical news of the week
was the announcement that Sarah
Bernhard would appear at Saltair May

under the management, locally of John
Mcguire, the well-known veteran who
has handled so many stars 1t is a
fact worth knowing that Madame Bern

sister, Gertrude Elliott. has not only
much of her sisters beauty, but consid-
cradle of her acting powers She is the
wife of Forbes Robertson, the English
actOr-manager, and acts with him.
Julia Dean, young actress who has
won high praise in New York this win
ter, has inherited her ability from her
mother, who bore the same name and
who was one of the foremost actresses
on the American stage quarter of a
century ago.
There are almost countless examples
of communion of tastes in acting be-
tween husband and wives. and it is
only natural that their talents should
descend to their children.

Kendall, James K. Hackett and his
wife, Mary Mannering; E. H. Scthern
and his wife. Virginia Harmed; Louis
Mann and his wife. Clara Lipman; Tim
Murphy and his wife, Dorothy Sher-

Mr.. Sothern comes naturally by his
great talents. His father was the ia
nous actor who created Word Dun
dreary' and other stage types. James
K. Hackett's father played a Falstaff
by which all succeeding FaIstaffs on
the stage of this country have been
graded. Jap WheelOck, who became
a star this season in George AIDE S

from his father. who was an actor.

ALL IN THE GAME.

Frederick Burton, who plays the rube
freshman in George AIDES college
Widow, tells the following story of
when he was young fellow and
pitching on his college team in the
south:
zone day an uncle of mine who is a
preacher came out to see me toss for
the team, and as he wasn't up on base
ball I got one of the boys to sit with
him and explain the fine points of the
game After the game was over I
hunted up the old gentleman, and this
is the conversation that took place:
Fred, my boy, what were those
preliminary signs that 1 saw the
catcher making?'

TROUBLES OF THE MANAGER.

Just now, when every one is taking a
jab at the dramatic critic, so called, the
professional playgoer as he is. David
Belasco, has striven to set a fashion in
defense. In Boston he is quoted as
saying:
Managers who find fault with ad-
verse criticism are usually the ones
who look through seventeen columns
of report faSten on one unfavOra BILE
adjective, and completely ignore the
column of praise in which it forms a
single remOnStratiVe note. The criti-
cism may contain paragraph after par
agraph of clear communication: then
comes sentence asking whether such
and such a feature might not be bet
tered-and instantly the manager is up
in arms because every word and phrase
fails to ring with acclaim. The mo-
and makes himself fair game for ridi-
cule.''

OBJECT TO TRAIN AUDITORS.
Order of Railroad Conductors 10 Take
Tn Matter With ID. 4 X. Il,

When train auditors were first In
stalled on the trains OF the Denver
Rio Grande last fall there was con.
siderable comment among the oonduc-
tors. Since that date the system has
not met with favor and there have
been frequent impromptu discussions
regarding the obnoxious innovation.
The conductors, az least the majority
OF them, look upon the presence OF the
auditors as a slap In the face--in other
words. they feel that their honesty ana
ihtegfity Ii under suspicion.
This sentiment has crystalized until
members of the Order OF Railway Con-
ductors on the Denver 4 Rio Grandc
system, as union. It Is understood.
have taken preliminary steps in the
direction of starting a fight 10 have
the auditors removed The organiZa-
lions In Colorado. Utah and New Mex,
leo have taken up the matter officially
and win submit a resolution TO the COM
pany officers, asking that the system
be abandoned. II Il stated that the
members OF the order on other roads
have pledged their support IN the fight.
The train auditors are to all intenta
and purposes conductors. They step un-
announced on 10 a train and take the
work OF examining and collecting tick
cts and fares out of the hands of tho
conductor entirely while the latter
takes his seat at the rear OF the car
and tries to look nleasant.
