The Christmas Spirit.

In every man there is the spirit OF
the boy that once dominated him. 1t
never entirely dies out. In the coldly
commercial man, whose idol is the dol,
lar mark, the boy spirit lies dormant,
but it is there, nevertheless, and can
be aroused if 1t is only appealed to in
the right way. At this, the Christmas
season. every man should try. to forget

On Christmas eve the bells were rung
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;

Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.

The hall was dressed with holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry-men 60,
To gather In the mistletoe
Then opened wide the bar0n's hall
To vassal tenant, serf, and all;
Power laid his rod Of rule aside,
And ceremony doffed her pride.

That night might village partner choose,

All hailed, with uncontrolled delight,
And general voice, the happy night
That to the cottage, as the crown,
Brought tidngs of salvation down,
The fire, the well-dried logs supplied,
Went roaring up the chimney wide;
The huge hall-table's oaken face,
Scrubbed till 1t shone, the day to grace,

No mark to part the squire and lord.

years of the prima donna's profess
sional career have been spent large
ly in this country. No where is this
influence more pronounced than in
husbandsden, which is rich in baskets,
rugs and weapons from Indian, en-
broidered screens from San Francis

a delightful cosy corner for the in

Music is goddess of the place, and
Wagner from his pedestal is patron

THE THREE OF U.S."

In striving to be human instead of

The Three of U.s." which w N
Lawrence will present at the Salt
Lake Theatre tomorrow evening. had
the honor and good fortune to score
one more pronounced success for the
American common sense drama.
The Three of Us" is the dramat;-
zation of a serious incident in the
lives OF interesting people. The story
Is told simply and honestly, and be-
cause 1t is compounded of dramatic
simples and deals with emotions that
are broad and free and universal II
serves the worthiest purpose of dra-
ma, which, as we see them are TO in
terest, to entertain, to inspire noble
ana generous thoughts, and to ap-
peai responsibility to the finer sensi
blllties in the human makeup.
In this play the dramatic values are
strong because they are simple and
direct, and the heart values are strong
because they are true.
The Three of Us" is a story Of =
Nevada mining camp before Tono-
pan became the miners Mecca. 1t
pictures settlement in the hills sur

en- graves of hope and repositor;cs of

First is "The Immensophone," a start
ling musical novelty. Imagine mu-
steal instrument twenty-five feet in
circumference. Imagine this instru-
ment producing the volume of Sousa's
band. and you can gain faint idea
of The Immensophone. Built of
glttering brass sheets, it makes an
imposing display and the spectator re-
allies at once that he is not alone
gazing on the largest instrument in
the world, but that he sees the most
remarkable instrument ever invented
The Mensaphone does many things
Through it there is heard a whistling
solo, quertettc and ensemble num-
bers, and the singing is eXtraordi-
nary, unusual, to a remarkable de-
gree, and at last it plays as a great
brass band, rivalling the effects of
Sousa himself. The first question
that comes to the mind of the spec
tator is whether the music is produced
by mechanical means or by skilled
musicians.
Then there is Irma Arbasanys I'M
cqualled cockatoo patomimc. These
birds it is said are revelation
There are dozen or more of the
birds, all white and no feat in the
trained bird line seem impossible for
them to do. At command of their
fair owner, they fire cannons, do a
cake walk, movements on the hori-
zontal bars, and finish in panto-
mime in which sinking ship is the
feature. Here they man lifeboat
and pull themselves to safety. Their
work is remarkable.

present highly meritorious enter
tainment, that comes fresh from Eu-
ropear triumphs. Conn, Downey and

The bill at the Orphcum this week
is one of music and mirth, a pleasing
medley running from grotesque dane
ing of the genuine old-time darkey-
style by sure-enough colored man
to songs of the classic order BY a
former comic opera prima donna, who
has forsaken the comic opera field
for the vaudeville. Miss Grace Van
Studdiford is of course the bright
and scintillating star that has caused
such joyousness at the box office,
and the three numbers she presents
are all too short; makes a fellow long
Tor more of the same order and clap
madly in the hope that Miss Stuodi-
ford may be cajoled into singing on
and on-but even public entertainers
have a limit as to the time they
may furnish the public with divine
music. The work of 10. Britton, the
eccentric colored dancer who shouts
"How's that?" at the finish of each
new turn, is equally pleasing, although
of i widely different character. Ber-
ry Ind Berry have laughable nusi-
cal act, more laughable than musical.
while Reidy and Currier are singers
OF the pleasing kind. Violet Black
