A RARE DRAMATIC TREAT.

The engagement of Robert Mantell
and his superb company of players,
which closes at the Salt Lake theatre
this evening. has made theatrical his
tory for Salt Lake. One performance
by MIR. Mantell is worth a score oe
lighter productions. Mr.. ManteH is
easily the foremost American exponent
Of what is known as the legitimate
drama. His representations have COW
cred a wider range than those of any
of our recent actors, save only the late
and deeply lamented Richard Mans
field.
Here is a man who opened with a
magnificent Characterization of the
aged Lear. He followed that with the
viriIe Macbeth. On Wednesday after
noon Mr.. Mantell was Hamlet, Wed
nesday evening Shylock, Thursday
evening Richelieu. Last night he con-
tinued his remarkable manifestation
with a presentation Of Othello. This
afternoon Macbeth will be repeated
and. for the final performance. King
Richard III"
Mr.. Mantell has not been seen in Salt
Lake for many years. 1t may be many
years before he comes again. We do
not hesitate 10 advise those who have
not seen him 10 take advantage of the
opportunities this afternoon and even
ing. Those who have seen him need not
be urged 10 go again. The man is an
artist to his fingers tips. It may even
be said with truth that he possesses the
divine fire of genius. Everything he
has done has been done well, leaving
practically nothing 10 be desired.
Salt Lake has had many opportuni-
ties to see Shakespearean drama in re-
cent years but not since the engage
ment of Booth and Barrett has there
been so splendid a chance to see the
works of Shakespeare properly inter
preted. Local playgoers have been IA
vored beyond those of any city of ap-
proximately Salt Lakes size I'M the
length of the Mantell engagement. Out
side of the largest cities his stay has
not extended beyond three or four days
The weeks engagement here was a
tribute to Salt Lakes widely known
appreciation Of the best in dramatic
art. Yet the patronage accorded to Mr.
Mantell is not what IL should have
been. Every seat in the theatre should
have been occupied at each perform
ance. The Herald hopes and believes
this will be the rule today. For, Salt
Lakers owe to themselves the delight
Of seeing Mr.. Mantell.

state that gave him to the nation. This.
IL for nothing else than for the honors
he made il possible for the Salt Lake
High school cadets to secure on their
recent memorable visit to the coast me-
tropolis, When. through DR.. G. B.
Pfoutz of this city the suggestion was
mace to Admiral Evans that the cadets
would be pleased to act as his escort
during the festivities at San Francisco,
he gave the heartiest assent TO the plan
and agreed to do all he could to make
the trip a successful one.
There was no great amount of COR
diality in the reception Of the cadets by
the committee in charge of the San
Francisco ceremonies. II Admiral Ev-
ans had not strongly insisted on having
his way. on having the boys near him
in the parade. they would never have
secured the place of honor. And if the
admiral had not written positive in
structions to Captain Osterhaus of the
Connecticut the boys would not have
been present on that warship when the
flag OF Evans was hauled down and the
flag of Thomas was raised.
So, in Utah, at least as much as in
any other state, perhaps more than in
any, the future life of Admiral Evans
will be watched with the keenest in
terest. In San Francisco he seemed to
be very sick man, seemed. indeed. to
totter on the edge of the grave. The
report from Washington says that the
railroad journey across the continent
was benefit, rather than a detriment
to him. He arrived at his home in bet
ter physical condition than when he left
San Francisco. We hope that this is
correct and that the admiral will be
spared for MAN. years.
