Salt Lake theatre.-Augustin Daily
Opera. Co., April goth, May 4th
If you want to see just how sudden
ly bright Coincidence can change
her moods and lenses, go and see
Henrietta Crosman in "All-of-a-Sud
den Peggy
The comedy is so full of snap and
ginger, crisp witticisms and sparkling
dialogue, ludicrous situations-some
of them so awfully droll-that not
only does the chronic laugher find an
excuse for his explosions, but the fell
low who rarely smiles cannot escape
the mirthful infection. There is a
matrimonial twist in the play which
renders the otherwise complicated
conditions still more hopelessly COM
pick. For instance the double mar
riage between close relatives is
enough to drive professional pedigree
hunters into the most serious kind of
acute hysteria Peggy's mother, the
widow O'Mara, aries Lord Anthony
and Peggy herself-Miss Crosman-
marries Jimmy Keppel, Lord An
thongs brother. Now here is where
the pedigree-hunter may chase hi,
game through the tanglewood: Peg
gy and her mother become sisters-in-
law, and Lord Anthony is both step
father and brother-in-law to Peggy,
and father-n-law tohis brother Jim
my, while Mrs. O'Mara is sister-in-
law as, well as mother-in-law to Jim
my, and Peggy is Lord Anthony's
step-daughter as we'll as sister-in-law
isn't that enough to satisfy even the
most persistent pedigree-crank?
The wind bloweth whittier it lsteth
and the plot of "All-of-a-Sudden Peg
gy" carrieth you where it willeth.
Like the funny man in the circus the
author climbs through every opening
seeking an avenue of escape.
Henrietta Crosman shows her arts
try by taking the audience into her
confidence and making them revel as
she does, in the merry-making of the
play. She is sprightly coquettish
full to OVERLOOKING with the bubbles
that are the champagne of a merry
life. To save your soul you cannot
escape the infection of hereyes, her
manners and her vigorous spirits.

The heroic goddess on top of the
Orpheum is smiling, all this week, as
she looks down upon the crowds surg

goddess represents "Miss Dividends"
as concession to the Orpheum
stockholders, or is merely suggestive
of NEUROLOGICAL gaiety girl, mat
tiers little, so long as the vaudevilians
are making good on State street. The
program this week is certainly varied
enough. An appeal to ones desire to
travel is made by Mile. Toona in her
illustrated lecture of the Great South

Siren. No wonder the Arabs call
the Sahara the Garden of Allah. The
great American deseret of the South
west, as shown by the lecturer at the
Orpheum, is certainly a garden of
beauty.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the writer of
passionate poetry, has forgotten her

After being separated for hfty-nVe
years, j. Il. Avery, of Albion, left TINS
morning to visit with his brothers
whom he had not seen since they were
all children together in the old home
in Washington county. Maryland. The
reunion of the three brothers Will
probably be happy affair, altno Mr..
Avery, before he left for the east this
morning, said that he would probably
not know them nor they him.
The story Of the separation OF this
family, and the subsequent reunion
after many years had elapsed, is one OF
the breaking up of a home after the
parents died. Fifty-five years ago in
Washington county, Maryland, there
lived j. T. Avery, and his four broth
ers in the home of their mother. The
mother died, and the boys separated,

Each Of the other four brothers Joined
the army, including Thomas and
Hammond, the two brothers whom Mr..
Avery left to visit this morning.
After the war was over Hammond
went back to Washington county,
Maryland, but Thomas came to Illi-
nois, and lived at various places.
At first letters passed between the
brothers. Then years elapsed and
neither brother heard from the other.
A little more than a year ago Mr..
Avery. Of Albion, learned that his
brother Thomas was living at Mount
Norris, and more recently he heard
that his brother Hammond was visit
ing at Mount Morris.
After the close Of the war ]. A. Avery
came to Iowa, and in 1869 he came
to this county. He lived at Liscomb
but later moved to Hampton. He
then returned to the county. and for
thlrty-fve years has been living at

This story is we'll in keeping with
the spirit Of the age. A Bronx man
tells it about his little boy. The neigh
boris young hopeful was very i'll, and
Willie and the other youngsters in the
block had been asked not to make any
noise in the streets. The neighbours
door bell rang one day and she opened
it to find Willie standing bashfully on
her front steps.
How is he today?" he inquired in
shy whisper.
Hes better. thank you, dear, and
what thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmy's sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to say,
but simply kissed him. Made still bold
err by the caress, Willie began to back
down the steps, repeating at intervals
his sorrow for his playmates illness.
At the bottom step he halted and
looked up IF Jimmy should die" he
asked, "kin / have his drum?"
