than very transitory kisses to them,
and saving her love for her lover. Oh,
there's nothing fragrant in this show,
however. Aside from Lulu in decorous

So much of soprano is Lulu Chaser
that never before has she submitted TO
the presence of an outrivaIing voice in
her company. / wonder if the debut of
Gertrude Darrell in mile. Mischief" is
q surprise to Lulu. II seems that the
Shuberts had made q five years con-
tract with Gertrude. Her family name
Is Manning, and her town of Illinois
nativity is Peoria. She is young, pref
ty, and her voice, though screechy up
top, may well have led her TO grand
opera aspiration She is cast for one of
studios, and the assertion in the lobby
between acts. after she had sung the
audience into enthusiasm, was that
positively this was her first appear
ance on any stage, except for 4 play
trial week in Philadelphia. II was hard
for me to believe that Gertrude hadn't
had a spell in the chorus by way of in
itiation; for I observed that. though
she had a debutante's uncertainty in

lines with small effect, she was at
graceful ease when she got into line
with the show girls. Anyway, the first
niFhters elated themselves upon the
discovery of her talent, quite as though
the management hadn't been aware of

Gertrude Darrell?
In the midst of a perfect feast of
music, it will be welcome news to Salt
Lakes music-lovers TO learn that the
biggest event in a musical way of the
entire winter will be the first concert
given by the Orpheus club on Oct 10 ut
the First Methodist church. the con-
certs heretofore given by the club have
been the very best the city has ever
enjoyed, and the artists who have been
brought here under their direction We're
the finest to be obtained. Indeed, the
Orpheus club has existed for years for
the express purpose of helping along
musical conditions in this city and
bringing great musicians here.
The four singers secured for the con-
cert Oct. 10 are Campanari, d baritone
of the very first rank in America;
Madame Marie RappOld, the soprano,
who has shared the honOrs with the
great Sembrich; Madame Josephine
Jacoby, a cOntralto of recognized abil-
ity, and SignOr Riccardo Martin, who
is best remembered by salt lakers as
Captain Pinkerton in Madame Butter
sfly," presented here last season.

Emilio de Gogorza, who viii be heard
here Oct. u, is one of the mos dramat-
&c baritones that the concert stage pos
sesses today. He has probably given
more recitals in the past three years
than any other male singer, and has
won much admiration and appreciation
His voice is manly, an0 his method SO
easy in appearance. hts sense OF pitch
so strong, that the impression his sing
Ing produces is of d man absolutely at
his ease and giving expression of real
dramatic feeling. De Gogor2a on his
last visit here displayed a wonderfully
flexible voice.
