friends of Miss Texas Guinan, the prima
donna of THE Gay Musician" company,
which is the attraction to ODen the new
ShubeTt theatre in Salt Lake next We'd
nesday evening.
The elder daughter of Mrs. Edison was
educated in the same convent in the
south as was Miss Guinan, and the two
young women have been firm friends
from that day to the prestnt Two weeks
ago, when THE Gay Musician COM
pany played in Kansas City, the Edsons
gave an elaborate dinner in honor of
Miss Guinan, at which prominent lead
ers of society were present
When THE Gay Musician" company

Guinan with one of her superb Kentucky
saddle horses. The Gay Musician com

GRAND THEATRE.

Walter Mccullough, new leading man
in the Grand stock company, was favor
ably received by a capacity house at the
Grand theatre last night in the role of
Stephen Client in Henry Miller's wonder
full western drama, THE Great Divide. 3"
There were a few ragged edges, of course,
as could be expected on the first night
and In handling such a play as THE
Great Divide but the ragged edges will
be trimmed and indications are that the
company will run along smoothly.
Miss Blanche Douglas as Ruth Jordan
endeared herself still more to the Grand
patrons She is charming as ever, and
in the dramatic scenes rose to a height
seldom before reached by her. There are
scenes of dramatic intensity without num-
Der during the three-act story. The touch
of the finished actress was seen in each.
Miss Douglas received a flattering well
come when she first appeared upon the
stage and was compelled to respond sew
eraI times after each act to curtain calls.
Irene Outtrim at Polly Jordan was a
charming little creature and pushed Miss
Douglas hard for first honors. Frederick
Allen has a small part in the person Of
DR.. Newbury. but handles well the linn
tied opportunity presented.
The story of THE Great Divide" is eS-
sentialIy western, and hard in some of
its phases. Philip Jordan (Arling Alcine)
and his sister, Ruth Jordan Miss Doug
las), are fighting alone in the desert for
the saving of the remnant of their for
and leaves Ruth alone. While she is
there. three rough men. driven mad and
reckless with drink, come to the house
One of them is Stephen Client (McCul-
lough). The men decide to shake dice for
the posse ssion of Ruth. She picks Ste
phen out as the most vulnerable, the one
in whom the spark of manhood has not
gone out, and appeals to him to save her
from a life with the other two. She agrees
to go with him and live with him if he
but takes her.
stephen buys the greaser off with
string of gold nuggets and then kills the
other in a gun fight for the girl. Then
he carries her away with him. And right
there starts the uplift of the man. the
change from the brute. They live to-
gether, after a semblance Of a marriage,
but finally the girls relatives find her
and take her back to her home in the
far east Stephen gives her the right to
go. if she wills, and she leaves. Client
had discovered a gold mine and became
wealthy. He followed his wife east. and
then at last she discovers that she is
really in love with the rough man Of the
desert. And there the story and the play
ends.
The new company will continue The
Great Divide" during the week.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

1.-THE Spoilers a play that has been
great success throughout the north
west, opened at the Colonial last night
to a capacity house. 1t is a dramatiza-
ton of Rex Beach's novel, which owes
its popularity to the true picture it pre-
sents of life in the Alaska mining camps
in 1900. Beach was in Nome at the time
of the great conspiracy against the min
eTs. and his novel is founded on fact. The
play is a stirring melodrama that is OF
vivid interest, particularly to westerners,
scenes recorded in the book. Life in the
far north, away from civilization, takes
on crude characteristics, and the ele-
mental in human nature is the ruling
trait. Before the coming of the law.
men knew no other force than might and
q spirit of fair play. The book and the
play show conditions as they actually
existed and have caught the spirit of the
time and place.
The play is in five acts. For three acts
it is thrilling. The last two are tawdry
and leave the audience with wrong i'm
pressions, Where the book gives OPP
pOrtunity for strong dramatic action, the
play is almost a farce. If 1t is impossi-
Helen Chester and Strive adequately it
would be better to leave 1t out. particu-
larly as ii is not necessary to the devel-
opment Of the story. 1t does, however,
give opportunity to the best actor in the
present company. The unpleasant char
acter of Wilton Strive, the lawyer, as
played by Frank McQuarrie is generally
well done. He is a dissolute, drunken
Ioafer, the tool of Mcnamara, just clev-
er enough to keep out of the hands of the
law himself while running the conspir-
ators. Mr. McQuarrie's Interpretation Of
the role gives it more Importance than is
found in the book and is in welcome con-
trast to the other less well presented
characters.
The company playing THE Spoilers is
only fair It does not meet the require
ments of the really stirring melOdrama
and many opportunities for clever work
are not taken advantage of. One scene,
the fight at the end of the third act. is,
however, exceptionally good. Mac
namara and Glenister engage in hand
to-hand struggle that is a real bit of &C
ton which the audience applauded in the
most hearty manner.
There are many stirring and realistic
features in this presentation of THE
Spoilers which make it well worth see
ing. 1t will run the entire week at the
Colonial with Wednesday and Saturday
uatinees

WILL HAVE NEW THEATRE.

"freak stunt" in theatricals which
recalls the wonderful circus tent tour
which Sarah Bernhard played a few
wears ago is arranged for Thanksgiving
dav in ogden for John E Young in the
musical comedy To- the attraction at
the Salt Lake theatre for the three days
beginning Monday, Nov. p.
Mr.. Young, who was the original John
ny Hicks in THE Time, the Place and
the Girl" Is an immense favOrite in Og-
den. having played no less than six
performances there to an average of over
81 600 a performance phenomenal rec
ord for one-night stand, and accord
ingly he was booked by John Cort to
open the new theatre thanksgiving day
William +. Burlock, general represen-
tative for the Harry Askin company,
owners of Mr.. Young's play, reached Og-
den Yesterday, only to learn that the the
atre would not be completed for several
weeks.
"TU play here Thanksgiving day." he
said, IF 1 have to do 1t in the public
square," and accordingly set out on a
hunt for the biggest building in town.
II turned out to be an old abandoned
skating rink, but il is big enough for a
circus, and so Mr. Burlock is to meet
bids for turning it into a theatre for one
night only. If it can be done for $1,000
or less. work will begin tomorrow and
be rushed forward night and day.
ITS pretty expensive to build the
atre for just one days use" said Mr..
Burlock, 'and that's what this will real
ly amount to, but Mr.. Askin wants to
play Ogden and it's this way or nothing.
I will have to build fly gallery, stage.
install an electric light plant. get 100
seats. organize stage crew. an orchestra,
ticket sellers and ushers, but it Is pos
sible of accomplishment, and | think the
people of Ogden will appreciate our eff
forts and patronize us accordingly"

MAYOR SEEKS AN ENGINEER
Continued from Page 1


last night he was not ready to talk
about it."
F. T. Roberts, a young engineer OF
experience, has also been suggested as
an appointee. Roberts is chiefly known
as tennis player, was formerly state
champion, and for years he and his
brother, Carl, fought it out with the
Salisbury brothers-Walker and o. j.
for the state and inteTmountain cham
pionship in doubles. In engineering
circles, however, he is known as a
conner"
A movement has also been set on
foot for the reinstatement of L. c. KEEL
sey, who held that office for years until
a month or two ago. 1t is hardly prob
able, however, that the appointment
will even be extended, and it might not
be accepted. The head of Kelsey was
one of the demands made upon the
managers of the Bransford campaign
before the election, and to avoid a fight
on the floor of the convention, with the
possibility of the nominating of Joseph
Lippman, Kelsey was sacrificed. So
it is improbable that he will be con-
sidered for the office now.
Mayor Bransford has said that from
the number of applications received by
him since Kelsey was decapitated he
believes every man who ever carried
a transit has applied for the job" The
stack of applications has been laid
carefully away, and will probably stay
there until the mayor pulls them out
and throws them into the waste-paper
basket
There is some little fight against A
F. Doremus by a certain element of
politicians, but all signs now point to
his appointment by Mayor Bransford
within a few weeks as city engineer, to
take effect Jan. l, 1910.

SOuSA,S BAND.

America has but three conductors who
have really succeeded in reaching the
heart of the music-loving public. Julien,
who made the qUadrIIe popular; Patrick
Sarsfield Gilmore, with his military band,
and John Philip SOusa, with stirring
marches and tuneful two-steps, who
stands today the most conspicuous fig
ure among American musicians. As COM
poser, as conductor and as program
builder, SOusa is unrivaled. In his con-
certs singers and sOlOists of merit are
introduced but the public wants SOusa.
The march king" generally obliges
them with so many encores that they
hear three concerts in one. SOusa is an
nOunced to give two concerts at the tab
ernacle tomorrow afternoon and night,
with the Misses Frances and Grace HOyt,
soprano and mezzo-soprano; Miss Flor
ence Hardeman, viOlinist, and Herbert
L. Clarke, as assistant soloists. The
matinee begins at 3 o'clock, and LOCO of
the best seats will he reserved for school
pupils at half rate.

ORPHEUM THEATRE.

The best that can be said of the bill
at the Orpheum this week is that il is
little better than fair. II may De that
Orpheum goeTs have been spoiled by ex-
ira fine performances in the past, which
would account for the fact that they were
chary of their applause, except with the
Big City Quartette, which made an in
Simultaneous and unqualified hit. AS usual
on Sunday nights, the house was packed,
every seat being sold and the IS. r. o."
sign out.
With voices that blended into one har-
monlous unik of sound, the Big City
Quartette sang its way into the hearts
of the audience. Fred @. Rover. first
tenor, James Emerson, baritone; Charles
Bates, second tenor, and Gus Reed, bas-
so, compose the quartette. All the songs
rendered were OF the popular variety,
some being of the semi-comic kind. Aft
er responding to repeated encores, the
quartette was com pelled to beg off on
the score that the supply of songs had
run out.
The Carmen troupe, made up of two
women, two men and a boy, presented
an original tight and slack wire per-
Torrance. Several interesting feats of
balancing We're given, earning merited
round of applause.
Terrell Brothers, billed as the smart
est of comedy cyclists, gave an exhibition
of clever riding. Several tricks, new to
Orpheum goers, were introduced.
The initial appearance in Salt Lake Of
Les Myosotis, said to be late premiere
dancers of the Royal Opera, Munich, did
not meet with the favor that might be
expected. That their dancing was good
there is no Doubt but, notwithstanding
this, the act is one that does not seem
to satisfy the public taste
In a burlesque on legitimate Iegerdeman
Henry Give succeeded in getting a few
laughs by his dToll witticisms. The act
was fair.
"A Baby Grand was the title of a
little playlet presented by Walter Lewis
and company. The secret marriage OF
the daughter of Tom Halliday to the son
of his enemy and the Homecoming of the
young married couple furnish material for
several amusing situations.
Miss Edna Aug gave fair characterize
tons of the chorus girl, German servant
girl and the amateur opera singer. Dur
ing the course of the German servant
girl monologUe several original and de-
cidedly humorous jokes were given.

that Conan is at his best. The play tells
a coherent story that has a fairly dis
cernable plot, while the dialogue is in
Cohan's inimitable style, full of snappy,
epigrammatical sayings, intermingled
with which are numerous choruses, en-
sembles and song numbers that are of
the fascinating kind one has learned to
expect from the pen of this prolific young
man.
That Mr.. Cohan's engagement in THE
Yankee Prince" at the Salt Lake theatre
is going to be a highly successful one is
already cOnclusively demonstrated in a
very big demand for advance reserva-
lions of seats and boxes.

about the ability of the two people, and
it is only necessary to add that they
keep the audience in good humor during
their stay on the stage Another act
which is delighting the audiences, and
Of which they never tire, is that of the
Three Kuhns three real brothers who are
certainly singing some new songs.
