Der reported by the Catholics was
only little over one-third OF the
number credited to the Professionals.
It is pointed out in the report that
the strength of the Protestant bodies,
as compared with the Roman Catho-
lie church, is greatly understated.
Only two of the Protestant bodies
reported a majority of their mem
bership in the principal cities. i. e.,
the Church OF Christ, Scientist, 82.6
per cent. and the Protestant Episco-
pal church 51.2 per cent; while of
the membership of the Jewish Con-
gregations, 8S.7 per cent are in the
principal cities, and OF the Eastern
Orthodox church 7O.7 per cent.
OF the total number of communi-
cants or members reported for the
principal cities by all denominations.
6,307.529 or 60 per cent belonged to
the Roman Catholic church, and
3,9S5.341 or 37.4 to Protestant
bodies.
Comparison with the report for
1890 shows that in general there has
been an increase in the proportion
of communicates or members in the
those outside of these cities. In 1905
the percentage of the total number
of communicates in these cities for
all denominations was 31.9 as COM
pared with 25.7 in 1890.
OF the total number, 0,511,17S Of
communicates or members in the
principal cities in 1906, there were
7,343. 403 or go per cent reported
by the So cities of over 100000 pop
ulation, and of these. 2,432,630 or
33.1 per cent belonged to Protestant
bodies and 4,736.53 or 64.5 per cent
to the Roman Catholic church. The
latter denomination had in these
cities about 75.1 per cent of its en-
tire membership in cities of over
$4,000 inhabitants.
In 13 of the cities more than one
half of the communicates or men,
bers reported belonged 10 Protestant
bodies, while in % the majority be-
longed to the Roman Catholic
church.
The cities showing the largest pro-
portions of Protestant communicates
are Memphis, S4.4 per cent; Toledo,
70 per cent; Washington, 66.9 per
cent; Kansas City, Mo-. 66.2 per cent
and Indianapolis, 62.1 per cent.
The cities showing the largest per-
centages of Roman Catholic COM
municants are Fall River, S6.5 per
cent; San Francisco, .S1.1 per cent;
New Orleans. 1917 per cent; New
York, 1853 per cent; Providence,
1855 per cent; st. Louis, SO per cent;
Boston, 6S.7 per cent; Chicago, $50
per cent, and Philadelphia, SIS per
cent.
In the five leading cities the pro-
portion of communicates to popula-
ton was: New York, 44.7 per cent;
Chicago, 40.7; Philadelphia, 3S.S;
Boston, 62.6; and st. Louis, 46.6
per cent. 1t is stated that, in general
cities which have a relatively large
Roman Catholic population show a
higher percentage of church members
than cities in which this body has a
comparatively small representation.
In Fall River S6.5 per cent of the
total number of members reported
were Roman Catholics and the
church membership represented 6IS
per cent of the population, while in

character Interpretation of an Irish
scrubwOman in the Orpheum sketch.
Beginning Monday, September 20.
the Orpheum added San Diego to its
list of vaudeville houses. which now
number tWenty-three on the circuit,
four of them being in California.
Shows Will be given in the southern
city three nights every week, with
matinee running through Wednesday.
The acts Will go down from Los An
geles. returning there and thence TO
Salt Lake. 1t is expected, however.
that shows will soon be put on in
San Diego for full week, with daily
matinee.
The big acts of the Orpheum pro
gram this week are Miss Minnie Du-
pree in The Minister'S Wife" and
the original six Kaufmanns. a family
of cyclists who are said to be the best
in the business. Miss Dupree is a
lively little person, with very decided
opinions on every subject connected
with her art. About Orpheum au-
diences as distinguished from those
which attend regular plays. she has
this to say:
Il have found a great difference,
indeed, in the character of the
audiences. For one thing, vaudeville
spectators are always impatient for
the next act, and knowing that no en-
cores are granted, they are apt 10
slide over the close of a performance
without seeming to give the apprecia-
ton one is accustomed to in other
work. On the other hand. they are
trained audiences and pretty quick
TO discriminate. In fact. their de-
mands are raising the tone OF vaude-
vile performances all over the cOun-
try"
Week at the Daniels.
The Daniels theatre had its share
OF the conference patronage. but the
company sadly felt the lack of a
leading woman and soubrette, the
places that have been vacant since
the departure of Miss Baker and Miss
Sutherland The announcement is
made that Laurette Taylor of New
York has been secured as leading
woman. She comes TO Salt Lake i'm
mediately at the close of an engage
ment with the successful musical
comedy, "Alma, Where Do You Live.
Another addition TO the company will
be Bobby Burnham, who comes from
an engagement with George NJ. Co
hans production of Little Johnny
Jones'" A San Francisco sOubrette
has also been engaged, whose name it
is impossible to give until her present
contract with a California company is
cancelled. The Daniels company
opened yesterday with an up-tO-date
presentation Of "A Happy New Year.
At the Shubert the Frederick Moore
stock company opened Thursday night
in "A Fight For Love and Honor" a
lively melOdrama that had good ini-
tial run. In the cast were Mr.. Moore.
Pearl EIheier and James Rennie of
the former Willard Mack company.
The Mission varied its moving picture
program with the vaudeville act OF
