BLANCHE WALSH in THE
STRAIGHT ROAD.
THE

Blanche Walsh, with a specially
selected company, and the entire pro-
duction from the Astor Theatre,
New York, will be seen in "The
Straight Road" Clyde Fitch's new
est play, at the Salt Lake Theatre
next Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings and Saturday matinee,
The play started Metropolitan
Theatre goers by the intensity of
its dramatic situations and the vivid
ness of its life pictures. Since leav-
ing New York, Miss Walsh's tour
has been a succession of triumphs.
In this play the author says, "my
effort has been not to follow the me-
lodramatic lines, but the lines of life.
A melodramatic situation in real life
does not mean a bursting mass OF
emotion and a pounding on the big
drum. We do not go into Mysteries
when life's bitter tragedies come our
way. We feel it all just as much, but
we do not shout and break up the
furniture when we hear that mur-
der has been committed or that some
one is arrested. That is what | mean
by depicting real life without the false
cloak of tradition. | have had all
this in mind in Writing Miss Walsh's
new play.
"You can realize very we'll that
the privilege of screaming and wall
ing in time of trouble is left to the
actors, and | really do not think that
even they enjoy it. In this play
have been careful that the performe

should not raise their voices above
the ordinary commonplace tone of
conversation, except on great occas-
ions. 1t is only when you get mad
or are stirred up by some overmast-
ering passion that you lose control
of your voice and forget to talk like
a gentleman. A covered flame is al
ways more suggestive, more of a
wonder, than raging fire.

by choruses, concerted numbers,
duets, solos, etc, etc. These are the
inevitable concommittants of all mod
ern form of opera such as the later
works of Verdi, Puccni, Mascagni.
etc, etc.
A century ago, great masters wrote
on simpler lines, and much of the
plot of the libretto was unravelled
in lengthy and often spoken recita-
tive, which was bound to prove mo-
notonus to those who did not under
stand the language.
All this has now changed, and so
long as the public takes the trouble
to read a synopsis of the story of the
opera they are about to hear, it will
be as easy to understand and enjoy
the story in its original language, as
to hear it changed and mutilated by
lllC evil CllCItS VI llG E1SDSll lIdnS-
lation which however, excellent it
may be can never wed itself to COM
poser's melodies with the same unity
and perfection as those words to
which the composer originally wrote
his music.
With such singers as Nordica, Neil
son and Constantine, the new Tenor
who bids fair to rival Caruso, Salt
Lake will no doubt rise up to the
greatness of the event and do itself
proud. The following operas will be
presented:
Monday-La Boheme, with Alice
Nielsen, Signor Constantine, Mile
Dereyne, etc.
Tues day-Faust, with Nordica,
Martin, etc

In the main this story is q record of the adventures of a young Doctor of Philosophy who conspires to playth humble role of hired hand at Mr. Morning stars tarn, boarding house, that he may have opportunity for se- rious and scholarly neditations, and avoid the blandishnaents of fascinating young lady board CTS. The resulting complications make q story as rich in hunor, as provocative of Laughter, as any that has been written in re- cent years. The characters are as interesting as ones intimate friends. In .fact they shall be- come the readers good friends to De carried afterward in pleas ant memory. There is lovely and stately young woman who would return to nature and incl dentally upliff naankind in the returning, and there is q pipa- cious beauty who aspires to tol- low this lofty example, but who fails tor reasons which will in- terest and delight the reader. And there IS another girl-Lord love her !-who shall give exan- pie of the heroism of humble life and prove anew the old truth that blood wiH fell.

been demanding rather irrita- ply of the shaggy little farm 0 CT, his host why bathroom had not been put into he,house when 1t was renovated for summer board CTS, and the farmer, standing over him as he sat at his belated breakfast in the kitchen, was replying with logic which left his protagonist dumb.
 Firstly, it's contrary to Scripture
 "How the devil do you make that out?" Kinross inquired, unaware of how such epithets startled the unac- customed ears of the farmers wife and of the girl, Eunice, who waited on him.
 How I make that out?" Morning star repeated. Because the Scriptures is silent on the subject"
 Which of course left Kinross with nothing to say. He lifted his glass of skinned milk and slipped with half closed eyes.
 Another reason" Morningstar laid 1t of, there was less sickness among our ancestors of bygone times in the past than there is now when bath rooms is the common lot of all."
 Kinross did not contradict it.
 Again. oncet heerd of a man being lrownded in a bathtub of hot water"
 Kinross had no answer for an argu- ment so incontrovertible.
 And yet again, Gawd certainly in- tended fur the folks to wash in cold water or he'd of made all the water lhot."
 Kinross' silence apparently accepted this dogmatic statement.
 "Ilin you deny it?" Morningstar tri- dmphed over him.
 T would not presume to-"
 "I guess anyhow not. We'll, then, you know why I don't have no bath room. If folks would read more in the Book and hesitate more they'd see how lsinful some things is. Folks is just a little ignorant about some things. They're not enough loosed of the world. Pride has come into the church that it's something shameful. There's too much joining church to enjoy our. lselves instead of to serve Gawd."
 And. swelling with his easy success, old Morningstar shambled out of the lroom, leaving his defeated boarder to the contemplation of his impossible ltreakfast.
 The kitchen fin which he ate was also the family living room. as all Penn. sylvanIa Dutch farmhouse kitchens ire. It was a large. bright room, very simply furnished. but spotlessly clean and of a certain homel- coziness.
 The breakfast consisted of cold corn. sd beef, greasy sausage, several kinds If very pale. lardy looking pies and a plate piled high with iced cake.

establishment of a state normal
school at Cass Lake and we had

preempted the location and nobody

side, on the right side and now,
possessed of the same grasping pro-
clivities he claims the location of
the new capital there instead of at
Duluth, little town at the head Of
the great lake system and which has
some aspirations. We admire Docs
determination to boost his town and
have no complaint to make of his
judgment, but if Bemidji keeps up
the pace set during the last year the
cud will soon be too big to chew and
will have to be divided. Cass Lake
is not an aspirant for a state capital,

cate our own schoolma' ans and did
not get it and shall oppose the new
capital going to any other town than
Duluth. Lake Times.
The doubtful compliment con-
tanned in the above is fully appreci-

YOUNG HERO SAVES MANY
Arouses Sleeping Guests in Burning
HoteI-Two People Perish.


HoteI-Two People Perish.
Norfolk, Va, June 1.-THE Princess
Anne hotel at Virginia Beach, Va,
built twenty-five years ago and one of
the handsomest summer resorts on the
Middle Atlantic seaboard, was de-
stroyed by fire which had it's origin
in the kitchen, supposedly from a de-
fective f1ue. There we're ITO persons,
guests and employees, in the hotel. All
are thought to have escaped with the
exception of Emma Clark, a negro
chambermaid, and John Eaton, the
steward. That a score or more per-
sons were not lost is attributed to the
great heroism of Carl Boeschen, a
young sergeant with the Richmond
Light Artillery Blues, who, rushing
from room to room, awakened the
sleeping occupants, many of whom
barely escaped in their night clothes.
Boeschen finally fell exhausted and
was carried into an adjoining building.
The loss on the building is $150,OO0.
The hotel safe, in which were the
heavy receipts of Sunday and thou
sands of dollars deposited by guests
for safekeeping, was not locked and
its contents were destroyed.

ANARCHY IS FEARED
Revolt Of French Wine Growers
Causing Apprehension.
.ULTIMATUM TO GOVERNMENT
Demand designations of All City,
Town and Communal Officials and
Refuse to Pay Taxes Unless Par
lament Grants Relief Asked For.

Paris, June 1.-THE revolt of the
wine growing population in the south
of France is causing considerable ap-
prehension in government circles. BY
the terms of the resolutions, which
100000 people at Montpelier swore
with uplifted hands to execute, the
departmental, city, town and com
munal officials must resign and the
inhabitants refuse to pay taxes unless
parliament affords relief. Several
mayors, headed by M. Farroul, mayor
Of Narbonne, have already resigned
and if this example is followed con-
dition bordering on anarchy will result
and the civil government will cease to
reign from the Spanish frontier to the
Rhone, comprising the departments
OF Herrault, Aude, Haute-Garonne and
Pyrenees-Orientales. The situation
is all the more grave because it con-
stitutes a unanimous. protestation of
the population and, being unaccom-
panied by disorder, furnishes the gov
eminent with no pretext to resort to
force. -.
Marcellin Albert, the leader of the
movement, was until couple Of
months ago an obscure wine grower
Of Argeliers. Now he is acclaimed as
"redeemer" and seems to hold the
south of France in the hollow of his
hand. His orders are implicitly and
unouestioningly obeyed and by the
powers of organization with which he
IS endowed he has proved himself to
be born leader of men. It is realized
among the hot blooded people of the
South that such a man might fire a
formidable revolution.
- The governments bill providing for
the suppression Of the manufacture of
fraudulent wine comes up in the cham
Der of deputies shortly, but beyond
passing this bill the government can
do little, all the experts who have in
vestigated the conditions having found
that the real depression was caused
by overproduction, for which even the
rigorous suppression of fraud will be
no remedy. The only solution, they
report, is the abandonment of much
of the wine acreage in favor of reg
ular farm crops and truck gardening

OPERATED GAMBLINGH0USE
Former New York Police Captain a
Fuuitive From Justice.

New York, June 12-James Cannon,
a former captain of police, who re-
Gently was dismissed from the force
on charges of failure to close gam
blinghouses in his district, is a fugi~
tive from justice himself charged with
maintaining a. gambling establishment
It is alleged that a roulette wheel and
all the necessary paraphernalia for
gambling were found in Gannon's sa-
loon at Twenty-ninth street and Sixth
avenue when Police Captain McClus-
key suddenly descended on the place.
Only one man besides Cannon and his
bartender were in the place at the
time and there was no evidence of a
