Herschel Mayall and Edna Elsmere,
who are to head the new stock COM
pany at the Lyric, should ensure the
dramatic success of that house.
Manager Quincy promises to sur
round his leading man and woman
with a capable company. The Lyric
will open early in September with

the razor makes frequent excursions
in a hopeless search for the beard
that never grows. Although Mr.. Cox
has the appearance of youthful col
lege student on his first vacation, he
is, just the same, possessed of years
or theatrical experience. Under his
management the Grand box Office
should become a matter of interest to
lovers of dividends.
Jules Bstes will not be on the hur-
ricane deck when the Orpheum
weighs anchor, Monday next. The
manager of the Omaha Orpheum will
assume temporary management ano
see that the curtain goes up on time.
Meanwhile Bistes will be marrooned
in Saint Paul until September.
Zinn's Travesty company, after
throwing Ogden into a fever of ex-
element, is coming back to the Casino
clover fields. Manager Quincy thus
fgain demonstrates himself an astute
fellow and incidentally puts the Front
Row club under heavy obligations.
The linn chorus girls made a hos
iery strike, when they first came here,
as being the proper curvature in
stockings. Theatrically speaking, it's
a wise Quincy who knows his own box
ofIice-and how to fill it.
Mr.. w. l.. Jennings who will man
age the Orpheum temporarily, per.
haps permanently, is here on the
ground. The young gentleman is from
New Orleans, where he acted as man
ager of the Orpheum. Mr.. Jennings
had just married when he was ordered
to Salt Lake. Mrs. Jennings will join
her husband here in about two weeks
The Orpheum bill for next week
has for the headliner Macart's Dogs
and Monkeys; Bryan and Nadine,
comedy gymnasts; Ziska and King,
comedy magicians; George Lavender,
the well known comedian; Majestic
Trio, and Gartelle brothers in a funny
roller skating stunt called "Skatorial
Rollerism." The kinodrome has
funny series of pictures, "The Terri
BILE Kids" showing a weird and hui
moorus chase.

last season the Orpheum suffered from
the fickleness of uncertain bookings |
and attractions of dubious merit, this |
season things will be different. Like
the other Orpheum houses the local
Orpheum will ride the vaudeville sea
with sails set and banners flying. The |
Salt Lake house will be a solid link in

that circuit famous for all that is best

ure. General Manager Beck of the Or
pheum circuit has just returned from
Europe where he booked the highest
class attractions known to refined
vaudeville.
Chicago, of course, will see these
jim-cracks first. They will then work
westward and Salt Lake will see them
just as they appeared in the Windy
City. In addition to all these, the eel
ebrated Orpheum road show-the
pride of the Orpheum circuit-will be
seen here in all it's splendid entirety of
consolidated stars.
The Salt Lake Orpheum will from
now on bask in the full vaudeville sun
shine of the Orpheum circuit.
Salt Lake, your are mighty lucky
town
That bunch of fast ones, the Salt
Lake Press club. will pull off it's an
nual dramatic festival at the Salt
Lake theatre early in September.
Race Belasco Whitney and Wally
Fitch Young are busy drawing up the
plans and specifications of what will
be twenty story production. A
roofless garden moral enters into the
suburban architecture, which, in this
instance, will follow the lines of least
ethical resistance. In order to pre-
vent arrest from the infringement of
the copyright laws, the play will be
called "The Old Bedstead"-Denman
Thompson being free to make merry
in "The Old Homestead" While there
is nothing poetic in the title, "The Old
Bedstead," great care will be exercised
to free the production from all sugges-
tiveness of installment plan features
and cheap furniture alurements.
Some of the most persistent men,
bers of the Press club will be allowed
to enter the cast-"The Old Bedstead''
being a family affair. Indeed, each
member of the club may be given a
Stat. Through the Indulgence of the
chief of police a few impromptu re-
hearsals have already been given in
the rooms of the Press club. The other
night the "Old Bedstead" was pus' ed
through the hallway before all the
casters fell out and not slat was
broken. This remarkable proficiency
shows that the boys are already doing
splendid individual as well as ensem-
BILE work.
AS the season of 1867 promises to
be one of unusual theatric brilliancy,
the Press club is to be congratulated
on opening the fireworks with such
Roman candle as "The Old Bedstead.'

POPE'S THIRD
ANNIVERSARY

ROME, Aug. 4.-Today is the
third anniversary of the election
of Pope Plus X. to the Papacy and
the event is celebrated here with
great solemnity. The College of
Cardinals was received by the Pope
in collective audience and Cardinal
Oreglia, the Dean, read an address
of congratulation and wishing the
pope many more years of pontifir
cate in the name of his colleagues.
The several colleges of prelates
also extended their organizations
to the pope and all the military and
lay officials of the vatican sent
to the pope to express
their best wishes. Congratulations
message arrived from a number
Of European sovereigns. The pope,
although not yet fully restored
from his recent attack of illness,
stood the exertion connected with
receiving the numerous delegations
well and seemed quite cheerful. 1t
is said that his popularity today
Is crater than at any time since he
was elected to the pontificate.
