SALT LAKE THEATRE.

David BelascO viii present Miss Blanche
Bates at the Salt Lake theatre on Sep
tember 3 3 and { in THE Fighting Hope"
an American play i'm three acts, by Will
liam J. HuTlburt. Scarcely an event of
the entire theatrical year EQUALS in i'm
pOrtance and general interest among the
atregOers the appearance of Miss Blanche
Bates in a BelascO production. The in
terest in The Fighting Hope" is espe-
Cially pronounced because it was one Of
the most notable triUmphs of the past
dramatic season in New York, where it
was played to crowded houses for over
three hundred performances at Mr.. Be
lascO's theatres.
1t is seldom that a play achieves such
a distinction and never has the rare art
of Miss Blanche Bates been employed to
better advantage. The masterful stage
craft of David BeiascO is always in evil
dence in the new play. The Fighting
Hope" is in three acts with the scenes laid
in the library of a country house on the
Hudson river near Ossining. New York
The play is described as one Of unusual
force and intensity as well as timely in
terest. The central character, Anna
Granger is admirably suited to Miss
Bates striking personality.
Anna Granger is the wife Of an embez-
zling cashier Of a New York trust COM
pany. who has been convicted and inn
prisOned. She believes him innocent and
with the object of generating the father
OF her children she enters the employ of
Burton Temple, the president Of the trust
company and whom many believe to be
the real culprit In time she learns that
there is no question of her husbands guilt.
In the month that she has spent in
Temples house he has fallen in love with
her and with the knowledge Of her hus-
bands perfidy her feeling of hatred for
Temple undergoes a change. but not until
after she has destroyed the only piece of
evidence that win remove suspicion from
Temple and establish her husbands guilt.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

George NJ. Cohan is beyond question the
most popular writer of musical plays in
America today and anything from his
pen commands the attention Of not only
musical critics, but Of the general theatre
going public as well. A play from his
musical workshop is to be presented here
at the Colonial theatre on Monday night,
August 30. continuing through the week
with Wednesday and Saturday matinees
and an extra performance Sunday night
September 3. Fifty Miles From Boston
is the title of the play in question. and
it is called a rural musical cOmedy-in
view of the fact that its three acts are
laid in BrOOkfield, Mass. which is about
fifty miles from the Hub" and the
characters who people its cast are stage
creations Of different types who populate
that village.
The story of the play has to do with

GRAND THEATRE.

Willard Mack, Blanche Douglas and the
entire Willard Mack stock company will
open their fall and winter season tonight
with Paul Armstrong; celebrated dra-
matte effort, "Salomy Jane" This is the
play in which Eleanor Robson is said
to have done the best work of her ca
reer. and it is proper to assume that Miss
Douglas, who will play the part at the
Grand the coming week, will give IT as
careful and artistic a reading as did the
original. Willard Mack plays Jack Mar
bury, the part originally played by Hol-
brook Biinn. The scenic artist. Arthur
Shepard, AMI the stage carpenter Carl
Holstrom, are working night and day
to give 'SaiOmy Jane the absolutely
correct staging that Liebler & Co. insist
upon. James Rennie Elmer Booth Bes-
sic Dainty and Irene Outrim make their
appearance for the first time with the
Willard Mack company.
Mr.. Mack has secured some of the best
dramatic material it is possible to obtain.

Sadie Woods, the pretty postmistress of
BroOkfield, whose fiance, Joe WestcOtt,
is a Harvard student and the crack pitch
CT Of that celebrated college of learning.
Dave Harrigan, the mild villain of the
town, is also a sutton for the hand OF
Sadie, and has induced her brother to
borrow S410 from the pOStOftlce funds to
bet against the final big Harvard game
of the season, and, Of course, he loses
the money.
The first act opens on the day OF the
Homecoming of Joe, who IS the hero Of
his college, and to honor their fellow
tOwnsman, a general holiday is declared.
He is met at the depot by the entire pOpU-
latiOn, including the local baseball team
the village fire department and brass
band, and is escorted in triumph to his
home, where an address of welcome is
delivered to him, accompanied by a hand
some silver loving cup.
Sadie tells him of the unwelcome atten-
ton Of Dave HaTrigan and thereby pre-
which is taken up by their respective
fathers, and then the excitement begins.
Jed Woods, Sadies brother, espOuses the
cause of HaTTigan in view OF the fact that
Dave has promised him, If he viii induce
his sister to break off the engagement
with Joe WestcOtt and marry him, the
800 stolen from the postOffice funds can
be replaced, as Harrigan will loan him
this amount, thereby saving him from the
disgrace Of being arrested by the inspector
Of pOstOffice affairs, due to arrive on the
morrow.
On the eve Of the inspectors visit to
Brookfield the postoffice is destroyed by
fire and all its records lost. This episode
forms the climax of the second act Of
Mr.. Cohans highly realistic play.
The Conan and Harris comedians who
will present Fifty Miles From Boston"

The planters in the South and
Southwest who are beginning to
take an interest in other things
than the cotton crops will have a
splendid chance to see what the
States of Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Middle Ten
nessee are doing in breeding and
raising live stock at the Tri-State
Fair. at Memphis, Tenn. Sept.
29th Oct. 9th. Premiums for the
best horses, mules, beef cattle, sheep
and swine will be offered, and the
exhibition of these prize-winners
will be an education in itself. There
is no reason why the Southern
planter cannot make thousands of
dollars each year like his fellow
country men in the Middle States.
The South has the best climate,
good water and. if the planter will
let it, the grass will grow finely.
With these aids from nature, he
should outstrip the breeders of the
cold North. The Tri-State Fair,

We were all grieved to learn of
the death of Mr.. Jasper Roberts
early Thursday morning, though he
has been practically on the brink of
the grave several months and his
demise was not unexpected. He
came to us probably ten years ago
from the eastern portion of the coun-
ty, where he has numerous near
and dear ones, and where his use
ful and exemplary life has been
mainly spent. For a number of
years he has been the trusted and
valued salesman in the house of W
l.. Watkins & Co, a position to
which his energies were studiously
devoted and which served to dem
onstrate the high qualities of hon
esty, industry and integrity which
adorned every hour of his daily life.
A loyal and substantial citizen has
passed away. Peace to his ashes.
The remains will be inferred this
