"The Girl of the Golden West. "

1.-The Girl of the Golden West" by
David BelascO, will be seen for one
week at the Colonial theatre, beginning
tonight. This is said to be by far the
most successful play of the past de-
cade In royalties alone it has
netted David Belasco a fortune,
and he has only let it out to a
limited number of stock stars. It
packed the BelascO theatre, New York,
for two solid years, and has continued
on the road with the same unprecedent-
ed business. Willard Mack last week
concluded arrangements with John COrt
and Manager Grant Of the Colonial for
a two weeks engagement, and immedi-
ately kept the wires hot with David Be
lasco to secure this play. He has been
forced to pay very large sum as ad-
vance royalty to the author. and an
nounces that he will spare no expense
to make this the greatest theatrical
event of the season at the Color. al. Mr..
Mack has engaged a splendid support,
and has his staff of carpenters and
scenic artists working day and night
to make the production from a scenic
standpoint equal to the original, If pos
sible, and judging from what salt Lake
has seen from Mr.. Mack in the past
every promise will be fulfilled.
Among those who will support Mr.
Mack are Blanche Douglas, Ramsay
Wallace. who recently played the title
role in THE Devil' at the Colonial, and

NEW LINEN SUITS.

The shops have fortunately gotten far
away from the cheap, glazed linen suit
OF some seasons ago. The usefulness
of the coarse. undressed linen that 1oes
not crack and wrinkle has been found
out.
This material will take the highest
place for the ordinary coat suits and
one-piece frocks of the day. The new
colors are quite enchanting in It. The
fashionable ones are purple. mulberry,
Copenhagen blue, bronze, and dull
green.
These make seFviceabIe suits and serve
better than one-piece frocks for street
and train wear. They give the chance
TO renew and freshen ones blouses,
which cannot be done In a one-piece
frock.
The styles in these dull linen suits are
quite simple. When they become ornate
they lose their effectiveness. They
should be severely plain and tailored
with seven-gored or circular skirt. The
tight-fitting yoke cut round On in points
may be used IL ones figure can stand it.
The coat is cut to the knees or half
way between knees and hips, Is single
breasted, fastened with Colored bone
buttons, and has fiat pockets on each
side.
