PLAYS Soon Coming.

One of the many features in when
Knights Were Bold Charles Mar
loves farce. in which Charles Froh-
man is presenting Francis Wilson this
season, is the numerical strength of
the company. AS d general rule laugh
ing plays of this character are present
ed with a company not exceeding fif-
teen or eighteen people. In when
knights Were Bold however. there is
not only a very strong cast made up
of the best attainable players, but there
is also large chorus. Forty-odd peo-
pie are required in the production. The
part of Sir Guy De We're. the one
played by Francis Wilson, is said to be
most admirably suited 10 his uses. The
author has written i'm a satirical vein
satirizing the ancestry question, and
in the second act the hero, with abso-
iutely modern ideas and habiliments,
is taken back to medieval days and
compelled to. in a measure, follow the
customs of the times.

mant. written for organ and orchestra.
This number will be played by Mr.. Nc
Clellan at the organ, assisted by the
entire Chicago Symphony orchestra, at

Thursday afternoon, April 2.
Guilmant wrote this magnificent
work in honor of King Leopold of Bel
GUM, and performed the same with the
Brussels orchestra, receiving therefor
the most highly priced decoration from
the king.
The Symphony is a battle royal be-
tween organ and 0rchestra-the pas
torale being one of the most delightful
movements penned. The union of the
great tabernacle organ, under Mr.. Nc
Clellan's fingers. and the noted orches-
ira will be a strong feature of the fes-
tival programs.

"Divoreons."

William A. Brady will probably be
asfn this city to witness the presenta-
flon of "DivOrcons' at the Salt Lake
theatre. beginning Thursday next
with the usual Saturday matinee. SaT-
dou's comedy, for its brilliancy, was
selected by Grace George, who desired
TO appear in il for a two weeks en-
gagement in New York early last
spring. New Workers liked the piece
so well that the two weeks heightened
into eight and the play would proba-
bly, have remained all through the
summer except that arrangements had
previously been made for her London
appearance.
English audiences also took most
kindly to the revival of the famous
French comedy. and Miss George
achieved as well personal triumph
far above that ordinarily accorded the
atrical stars.
Il In speaking about Miss Georges
Nplans. Mr.. Brady said:
Grace George win be seen in two
plays, one by Clyde Fitch and the
other by Jerome X. Jerome. and two
revivals, one of which viii be Much
Ado About Nothing" Mr.. Fitchs play
is as Yet only a rough scenario. de
signed to give Miss George a wider
range. The Jerome play, Sylvia OF
the Letters, is a comedy of character
With the scene in New York.
Her other revival VIII be either
Sheridan Knowles 1.-THE Love Chase
or Mrs. Hannah CowIey's ''The
Bellies Stratagem." The selection OF
the former will depend on getting a
certain English actress for the part OF
Widow Green.
Miss George will return to London
under Charles FrOhman's management
at the end Of her present tour. The ar
rangement is that she will be ready to
appear in at least five plays. She will
ASlDt be seen again in this city before
toing back to London.

Notwithstanding that it is all uttered
i'm the testing spirit of the play, there
were a few volunteer firemen in some
localities where Dream City" has been
produced who wrote serious letters of
objection to Mr.. Johnson and begged
him to cut out the song, saying it was
serious reflection upon the courage
and abilities of volunteer firemen in

Oils Terrible Secret. I"

His Terrible Secret" Charles E.
Blaney's latest melodramatic success,
with Theodore Torch in the leading
role, that of Melmoth. the Man Mon
key, opens a weeks engagement at the
Grand theatre tonight. This play Is
Charles Blaney's latest effort. and is in
the popular melodramatic class and,
furthermore, has been pronounced by
competent critics to be fully up to
every accepted standard in plot. stu
alton and personal The author in
writing this play has followed in the
footsteps of the immortal Dickens, be-
lieving that life depicted from life, as
life is, is the supreme acme of the
writer's art, and therefor in writing
and staging this play he has followed
absolutely the happenings of every day
life.
Mr. Torch will be seen in the role of
Melmoth, the Man Monkey, a creature
with dual personality. one that Of an
ordinary man, and the other that of a
wild ape, This most difficult but in
teresting role is most ably portrayed
by Mr.. Torch. and is by far the best
role he has ever essayed. The remain
der of his large company are well cast
and have plenty to do throughout the
play. thus adding a freshness to the in
terest of the production. The play is
not entirely a serious dramatic produc-
ton. but is frightened up throughout
by the vein of humor that runs through
from act to act.
The large amount of special scenery
required for this production has all
been especially painted by Fritz +.
Boone one of New YOrk's best known
scenic artists, and the effects showing
the various scenes in the jungles of
Africa are beautiful beyond descrip-
ton. The play once seen will never be
forgotten. and having once seen it you
will want all your friends to see it,
There will be a china souvenir matinee
of this play Wedn esday afternoon.
