MISSION THEATRE.

How is it possible to present such
excellent bills for such a small price p?
This is the question that has been asked
hundreds of times during the last few
weeks by patrons Of the Mission thea
tire. In a little chat last night, Mr..
Clark said that it was his aim to pre-
sent the best in vaudeville at all times,
and that he was striving to get every
act offered OF the headline class.
For the week commencing next
Thursday afternoon another big bin is
promised. The feature act of the bill
will be Joe Boganny and his troupe OF
european artists in the "Lunatic Ba-
kers." This act has been voted one OF
he greatest laugh-producers ever Of
fered on a vaudeville stage in Europs
Or America. The company consists OF
six members, who keep things going at
a furious rate from the time they an
pear on the stage until the act closes.
A second big feature Of the bill is prom
ised in the dramatic sketch to be pre-
scented by Al. W. Fremont and COM
pany. The little play is entitled "The
Way of the West" Mr.. Fremont an
pears in the character Of a Wells-F Fargo
messenger, who has been held I'D by A
rCbber, who is later run to earth Ia a
house in which the messenger and A
woman passenger Of the stage have
taken refuge from a storm. "a hit in

rated for its indecency draws as many
people as keep away on that account,
and it is advertised as 'the most auda-
cious play of the century" What hurts
its prosperity with brainy but not
squeamish folk is the absence of
genius in both diction and construction.
Sydney Rosenfeld might shirk the
blame If he owned up to transferring it
from some foreign source, as has been
his habit, but he asserts his sole author
ship, and no one has disproved it.
AS to Sydney Resented.
Resented said to the first audience:
my persistent detractors have accused
me of writing plays so incoherent that
'twould do no harm to give the last act
first. I claim that it would make a diff
ference with this piece" Which proved
him proud, as well he may be, of his
penultimate acts ingenious surprise, al
though he ought to be ashamed of its
immortality. Here 1 go carping at the
shock in Children of Destiny" after
complaining of the lack Of it in Mr..
and Mrs. Daventry." The Rosenfeld
heroine is for one act a Washington
belle of unblemished character; but
when she learns thai she was born out
of wedlock, and her fiance breaks the
betrothal on that account she i'm
petuously hates her hitherto beloved
mother and wildly decides to plunge
into reckless depravity. Possessed of
an ample fortune, she makes a round OF
European gay resorts and becomes :
notorious creature of gaiety. Dur1ns
the second act she figures as a modish
siren at Monte Carlo.
That carries the play along to The
surprise of the third act. The girl, en-
acted by Laura Nelson Hall, falls in
with young man whom Orrin Johnson
makes strenuous. At first his feeling
for her is sensual only, but soon they
are the sincerest of lovers; and she de-
clines to fix for him price on herself
(by repute she is very costly, but in
sists on making a free gift of herself.
1t is agreed that he shall lodge at her
villa. He goes there in a state of ardor.
Then she tells him that although she
has made her reputation vicious, she
nevertheless is a maiden; for never til.
him has she found a man to accept
among the many DESTROYS of her init
macy. Orrin and the audience are
astounded. Laura experts him to be
elated. But he has a conscience that
won't permit him to take advantage of
her free-love proposal.
An Audacious Play.
The incident justifies the advertise
ment of children of Destiny" as "the
most audacious play" Luckily it may
be indicated here without the offensive
ness of it's presentation on the stage.
The girl seems to be a free lover now.
She is ready to mate with the affinitive
Orrin without delay or ceremony. She
has no thought of wedlock. But the
man has a conscience that won't let
him be a partner in her first real trans
gression. He tears himself from her
arms and goes to the door. She runs
after and clings to him. So here is a
maiden who doesn't fly from a pursuing

SALT LAKE THEATRE.

THE Roundup" conceded to be the
largest production of its kind on the
stage, begins tomorrow night, and runs
four nights and Wednesday matinee, at
the Salt Lake theatre. 1t is a story of
the mighty west, produced by Klaw &
Erlanger. Some idea of the magnitude
of this production may be cleaned from
the fact that some time today it will
reach this city, and that its trans
portation requires a train of nine cars,
in addition to a company of selected
players-the regular cast-there is an
auxiliary organization of twenty-six
cowboys, twenty-six bucking ponies, a
tribe of Indians, Mexican vaqueroes.
Arizona girls, cowpunchers, soldiers and
scouts, all fresh from the west. In dra-
matizing Edmund Days story for the
stage, Klaw & Erlanger are said to
have builded on as ambitious lines as
when they gave the stage Ben Hur"
The locale of the scenes of 1.-THE Round
Up" are in southwestern Arizona. This
gives opportunity for what is pro-
nounced a marvellous scenic production
of mountains, canyons, plains, scenes of
the desert and the lava beds of New
Mexico-a district scorched by the sun
and rainless. Into this variety of al
ternating charming and awe-inspiring
scenes is projected a story of the
frontier. The play tells the story of
the bride who discovers her husband
has won her by a trick. The unsuc-
cessful sutton voluntarily wanders into
the desert to die, He is followed by the
young husband, who, at the command
of his bride, would rescue the wander
er. This incident gives opportunity for
remarkable canyon and cliff scenes, in
which are show the vivid Iandsca ne
hues and atmospheric effects OF that
picturesque country. Over the face OF
the cliffs come troupe of Apache In
dams, mounted on horseback, picking
their way along the trail TO the white
men, who become allies against the
common foe. This scene is described as
one Of the largest ever enacted in a the
atre, and 1t also shows the appearance
of "Slim" Hoover, the sheriff, his dep
uties and the cavalrymen to the rescue.
Another remarkable scene is the round
up of the bucking ponies. The comedy
leader is Maclyn Afbuckle, last seen
here in George AIDES 1.-The County
Chairman" He plays the part of hero
too fat to succeed in love affairs. The
company numbers 1874. Among the well
known players In 1.-THE Roundup" are
Maclyn Arbuckle, Albert Phillips, Jo-
seph NJ. Lothian, Sidney Cushing, Ell

MR.. FRAN7Ig FOR A

otRtD VI party
politics are fortunate in the OF.
portunity of awaiting themselves
of the services of David r. Fran
els in the United States Senate.
1t is not every day that a state.
any state or either party, can
command the services of any but
the professional politician. The
rewards, the legitimate rewards
of public life, are not such as
prove attractive ordinarily noy-a-
days to those who can succeed in
like measure in either business
or professional life, Mr.. Francis
has succeeded in business life.
Beginning in humble poverty he
has by tireleSs industry and
great capacity come to large for
tune and wide renown. Nor in
this pursuit of his private bus
mess has he neglected the public
duties of a good citizen, but from
time to time has withdrawn him
self from his own work to serve
the public when he thought he
could serve it most in city,
state and nation-alwayS re
5u~ing to his private business
with gladness when his public
work was done. AT a time when
the governments of our cities all
over the country were bad and
unprogressive he was elected
mayor of st. Louis and gave to
that city its first modern, pro-
gressive administration. AT a
time when both parties in Mis-
souri, were going to decay with
the old issues of the war. He
was elected governor and gave
to the state an energetic business
administration and to the party
new issues and an infusion of new
life. When the nation saw fit
to recognize and celebrate the pro-
phetic wisdom of the father of
democracy in the purchase Of
the Louisiana Territory Mr.. Fran
els was chosen the re-
sponsible head of the enterprise.
The success he achieved with
this largest undertaking of the
kind stamped him as both finan-
cier and diplomat.
Thus the public services of Mr..
Francis, and incidentally his
party services, while they have
been only occasioned in a busy
life devoted to other things, have
taken the form of actual personal
achievement. He has done very
little in the way of standing
sponsor for political friends who
might be able to do him recipro-
cal favors sometime; very little
in the way of bowling himself
hoarse on the hustings in other
peoples campaigns with the
weather eye open to the main
chance for himself, as the habit
of politicians is. But he did
give st. Louis a business admins
tration that inspired that old
slow-going city with new civic
ideals and a spirit of modern pro-
gressiveness. He did give Mis-
souri, a live. business administers
ton that drew off the party's at
tentiOn from the Confederate
soldier issues Of the Marmaduke
campaign, the Confederate SEN
ate issues of the Vest campaign
and the Jesse James issues of the
Crittenden administration. I'm
less perpetually looking backward
is a political virtue, unless pay
ing political debts and avenging
political grievances is a party
merit, the candidacy of Mr..
Francis for the Senate is a party
opportunity now as his candidacy
for Governor was 1886. Mr..
Francis views are sound on
every live party issue. lie is
free from any embarrassing al
liances. He has had no part
in the Marty chickering's of the
