PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.
Prfmrose,s MinstreIs.

George Primrose and his all-star
minstrel company will be the attrac-
ton at the Salt Lake theatre for two
nights and a special matinee, begin
ming Monday. This engagement will
emphasize the fact that negro MINSTREL
sy is not dead, as this form of enter
tainment is entirely an American fea-
ture which has gradually drifted away
from the ideas of it's originators. One
Of the surest signs of its popularity is
that every writer of comic opera and
musical comedy introduces negro songs,
melodies and dances in all their works.
and invariably their biggest hits have
been made with these numbers. There
was time when the public would
stand for a so-called minstrel show TO
appear in Louis XIV costumes, DOW
deTed wigs and painted faces, which
was rather charming to look upon be-
cause 1t was new and in some degree
true to the trOubadOur style of the ORR
ent, but this style having lost its novel;
ty, is no longer charming and, further
more, theatre-gOers now want Ameri-
can minstrelsy that is true to negro
life of plantation days and truly a fea-
ture of our own country. Knowing that
the public wants this form of enter
tainment, Mr.. Primrose, the first to
furnish this joyful form of amusement.
but with modern embellishments of a
kind that enhances the effect The
gaudily bedeoked costumes and white
faced minstrelsy has seen its day. In
its place has come the merry darkey
fun, interminsled with up-to-Gate songs
and humor, led by George Primrose.

University Dramatic Club.

( Next Friday evening, March 8. the
Dramatic club of the state university
gives its tenth annual performance at
the Salt Lake theatre. This year the
club presents ''Mr. Bob" a comedy in
two acts, and one-act curtain raiser,
"A Match for a Magistrate" Two
pieces which better fl the needs of the
organization could not have been chOs-

The Dramatic club cast this year is
very strong. Alvin Peterson, the new
director, has inaugurated a system of
tryouts. Out of the forty students who
entered, nine We're finally chosen, so it
is assured that the young Thespians
who appear next Friday night are the
best that the states largest education
al institution can produce.
Miss Edna Harker, one of the most
accomplished young actresses in the
city. is again with the club. Other
members who have won much praise
for their past efforts are VIII p. Mifflin,
K A. Hart and H. Leo Marshall The
people who viii appear for the first
time with the club are Richard w.

Salt Lake singers; Miss Joy Cleghorn,
literary editor of the junior yearbook,

Altogether, the performance next
Friday night promises to be one of the
most attractive ever given by a local
organization. and as the enga cement is
for one night only, large audience is
assured.

"The Bell of JAPAN

tonight, will have one of the very best
performances of the season, namely,
"The Relle of Japan" written by H.
Grafton DOnnelly, author of Darkest

which is under the management of G.
Harris Eldon, is of the highest order of
merit. the entire stage settings and
scenery which are carried are remark
ably realistic and handsome, and were
made from sketches drawn by the ia
nous japanese artist, K. Tagamo. The
play is not of a farcical order, but has
well defined plot that holds the in
terest OF the audience from the rise Of
the curtain to the very climax of the
last act. 1t is the real theatrical novel;

TO HOLD COTTON
Farmers Urged TO Sell None of This
Crop Before November.

Il believe that by the first of Sep
TENDER we will have warehouses in
half of the counties of the state" re-
marked President C. c.. Moore of the
state cotton association in Conversa-
ton with a News man OF the work in
which he has been engaged for sew
eral months.
Mr.. Moore is in the city voday attend
ing the meeting Of the local associa-
ton and spending a while with his
family. Beginning lex week he will
start on a tour Of the eastern counties
| of the state, holding a series of rallies
in the interest of the association.
Il AN anxious right now said h..
| Ito impress upon the farmers the ne
cess:ty Of selling no cotton Of the pres
ent crop before the middle Of NOvem-
| Der. 1t has become a habit among
| the farmers to contract about this
| time of the veal for fall delivery, which
is doing an immense harm to
those who are trying to hold up the
price of cotton.
, THE action is not to boycott the
mills, but merely TO let the farmer
have the intrinsic value of his crop.
An effort is being made by inducing
the farmers to contract for fall deliv-
to establish a price of II cents for
the present crop. l believe that if
cotton is held off the market until No
verber 18th, We will receive a higher
price than we have had since 1865.
The crop over the state is poor, a good
deal worse than the people think. The
output from this section of the belt
is going TO be exceedingly short.
