There is some talk of stopping
further performances OF Gabrielle
d Annuneio's play "Nave" because
several persons have became insane
Witnessing its horrors. The drama
is indeed a thriller which would
doubtless delight a Bowery audi
ence. whose nerves arc less sensi-
tive than those of the Italian thea
ter-goers.
Here Is a list of some OF its pow
erful Incidents Five people are
blnded and one has his tongue torn
out. eight persons are shot down
with arrows by a girl in n very low
necked dress. one person narrowly
escapes being shot, probably be-
cause he is a monk; one man is
crucined, a bishop OF Venice is as
sassinated ON the stage by his own
brother. then comes suicide and
the dead body OF the bishop is
dragged across the stage. An exc
cutioner heats his instruments OF
torture at an altar fire. and at last
the audience is treated to the sight
OF eight girls dancing in the cos
tune OF mother Eve.

er England was willing or not. but

The recent assassination of King
Carlos OF Portugal and his oldest
son has caused the Paris police to
round up all foreigners here sup
posed to- have anarchistic connec-
tons, and the result has been an
unusual large humber of arrests,
many OF which are considered Inn
portant More than a score of peo-
pie. men and women. are being held
as suspicious persons until their
identity can be established and the
police are in communication with
the police authorities of nearly
every large city i'm the world.
Five OF the suspects held. two
women and three men. are known to
have come from America. but they
refuse absolutely to give. any infor-
nation about themselves Two Rus
SLAMS, a man and a woman, named
Vallach and Fanny Janpolska, were
arrested in the Care 1t. Lazare,
just as they were about to take a
train for Dieppe. England.
They were found I'm possession OF
a large number OF 500 rouble notes,
supposedly stolen from a Russian
government bank wagon at Tihs. I'm
the Caucasus, last year. when the
terrorlsts got away with a quarter
OF a million roubles i'm cash. Both
the man and his companion de-
scribed themselves as medical stu
dents. Paris was their headquar-
tiers during several months OF the
year, and in the interval they made
mysterious Journeys to different
parts OF Europe, notably to Switzer-
land
Last week the Russian police
discovered that about 100000 ro/
bles in the form OF the stolen notes
had been changed at a Paris bank
by a man and woman said to be
Identical with the prisoners. Val
ZACH. who is 35 years OF age, lived
under an assumed name in a hotel
in the Latin quarter, occupying a
room for which he paid $40 n
month. He gave himself out as a
journalist. and was always well
supplied with money. The other
prisoner IS a handsome girl OF %,
though she does not look her age.
She lived i'm a boarding house near
the observatory. and has been a stu
dent at the medical schools for over
year. She is said TO have been
a Poste Restante for all the Russian
revolutonaries in Paris.
The outrage at Lisbon, st Is
thought, will lead TO an alliance
between all the European govern
ments for the purpose Of driving
out or falling all anarchists Even
the English government, which has
hitherto opposed plan OF this kind,
Is now said to be willing to join
and to deny the right of refuge to
anarchists who can no longer be
classed as political offenders.

One of the jolliest musical coined.
les we have had this season was
Coming Thro' the Rye" There
are more comical sayings, pleasing
songs and amusing antics than are
usually found in the most hilarious
of comic operas, and one who can
not forget his troubles and thorough
ly enjoy it, must be as devoid of
humor as Comanche Indian is sup
posed to be. Frank Lalor, as Mott,
the tailor, has style all his own, be-
ing simply irresistible, even his facial
expressions calling forth roars OF
laughter, while his songs, 1T Must
be Love" and Clancy" are gems as
mirth provokers. Each member of
the company has evidently been Sc
lected with an eye to their peculiar
fitness for their parts, and make of
Coming Thro' the Rye" a continu-
GUS performance of first class spec
ialties, while working out the plot;
and there is plot, and one that is
not hard to follow. Miss Stembler,
as the rich widow with the surpris-
ing vocabulary, is commedienne
who is entitled to as much praise as
Mr.. Lalor, and has the audience with
Eer from the first Her laughing
song is one of the best numbers of
the entire performance, and she is
"in the game for fair" all through
the performance. Miss Eveleen Dun
more has sweet voice, and Sidney
Toler's "Dago" song was one of the
hits of the engagement. Other men,
bers of the company who contribute
materially toward the success of Ho-
lart song play are Fred L. Tiden, as
the Englishman; Harry Burgess as
the cowboy; Vincent Mccarthy as the
press agent, and Miss Isabelle Lowe.
The moving picture shows are
coming in for great deal of discus
SION as a result of fire in the ma
chine room in one of these pleasure
resorts recently. 1t seems that the
aisles and exits are generally regarded
as below the requirements, and the
chances are that should fire break
out in one of these places there
would be number of people injured,
ii not killed.
1t is announced that special rail-
road rates have been secured for the
spring musical festival of four per-
formances, which will be held in this
city, April and 2, when the famous
Chicago Orchestra will appear. This
will enable large number of out
s'ders to attend, and Manager Fred

position to enjoy the show.
The Auditorium skating rink is to
be converted into a theatre. The
building is to be remodeled. and when
finished will seat 2,25o people Man.
ager O'Mara announces that the new
theatre will be on the burlesoue cir
cult, with performances every night.
IT seems rather odd to see Flor
ence Roberts in play that simply
bubbles over with good. clean com
edy But such is SHAM" the latest
play furnished the great emotional
actress who has long since won the
confidence of the PATRONS of the Salt
Lake Theatre. The play is bright
and breezy, contains pretty little
love story, and leaves one feeling
very much the better for having made
its acquaintance. Miss Roberts proves
that she is great as a comedicnne. as
well as in emotional roles something
that one can not truly say of very
many of Our actresses and actors
The entire company is simply splen-
did and the way in which they pre-
sent this story of present-day socie-
ty life should make it an acceptable
play in any country or cline.
Hermann the Great. who used TO
furnish an entire evenings perform
ance, has turned to the vaudeville
stage, and gives a splendid perform
ance at the Orpheum this week.
Some of his tricks are the same ones
used when he was the whole show.
but he has few new ones, and good
ones, too. Another act tina. is rather
out of the ordinary is the work. and
it is work, of Ralph Johnston. the
man who goes UP stairs on bicycle
and performs number of other
startling stunts on a bike. Sidney
Doan and company have a vocal
novelty, the four singers being dres,
sed as convicts and the scene show
ing them in their cells, from which
they succeed in giving very clever
performance. Bailey and Austin's
act, consisting of comical knockabout
work, is one of the funniest things
imaginable, from the standpoint of
RIGHTEOUSNESS. Joe Carroll, monolo-
gist and dancer, and Virginia Pierce,
vocalist, are fairly good representa-
tives of their different calings, but
It is hardly probable that either will
ever develop into world-beaters.

This has been a momentous week
in theatrical circles in Salt Lake.
We have had good shows at all the

excellent bill at the Orpheum. and the

ing one of their best Rays. On top
OF all these good things comes the
announcements that Martin Beck, gen.
eral manager of the Orpheum com
,pany, which furnished advanced
vaudeville for lovers of that special
kind of amusement, has acquired a
controlling interest in the Ornheum
theatre in this city, and that the Or
pheum is to have new house. prob
ably on Main street, to cost $4,000
and have seating capacity of POO.
The name, of the present Orpheum
theatre will probably be changed to
the Princess. and under the control
of Charles Fletcher of San Francis
co. first class comedy and opera will
be the bill, when the new building
has been finished The entry of Mr..
Beck into the theatrical field in this
city means that he and the reople in
terested with him have confidence in
the future city. and are willing to risk
their money in the new undertaking.
1t is. announced that under the new
deal, Manager Jennings is to remain
in charge of the Orpheum, Farley
Jensen will continue as press agent,
and the Weihe orchestra will be re-
tanned, while in the future we are to
have seven acts, instead of six. only
the very best talent to be sent to
Salt Lake. Next season it is expect-
ed that Sunday performances will be
given at the Orpheum.
The Lyric. the playhouse down near
the sky-scrapers in this great and
glourious city of our, is more than
holding its own in providing good
clean shows for popular prices-tcn,
twenty and thirty cents. The bill
this week has been "The Power of
Truth" and readers of this paper
know what that power is. The les
son taught in the five act drama was
strong and in being presented by the
Utahna Stock company headed by
Miss Agnes Johns and w. R. Abb
ram made the offering one of the
successes of the season.
THE Missouri Girl" is the attrac
ton for the coming week and it is
described as sensational comedy
drama. Prizes are to be given to
scholars of this city at the Saturday
matinee, February 20, and a large
beautiful doll to be given to the girl
holding the lucky number and gold

The House of Thousand Can
dies" which was roasted to a FRAGILE

Ermonte Novelli has gone back to

domestic characters of "The Three

small town in New England, and an

Good Time Coming.

Frank c. Graham, of Garrett county,
was in town a few days ago and told
the Journal that all Of the many peo-
pie of his section who trade in Frost
burg are thinking of uniting in a petit
ton to restore the Braddock road to
thoroughfare conditions, as the Nation
al Pike had about become impossible.
He said that If they had to come via
the Musselman estate. they would miss
Sand Spring and Federal Hill and those
two places would miss them, and so on.
But the Journal told him not to hurry
the Braddock Road renaissance; that
the State would soon take hold of the
National Pike and restore it so nicely
that he, Thomas Johnson, Henry G.
Wolfe, Patrick Hoye ct al, could buy
automobiles and come to town three
times day with hay and corn, and
eggs, butter, smear-case and props, and
90 home each time richer with the
spoils Of trade, etc
The Journal doesn't know what
Frank and the others will say about
this statement at this moment, but all
will he glad if it turns out true. Frost
