Besides the JOY Of this reunion between

came before the curtain and announced
that In pursuance Of the request con-

Sutton. the Grand theatcr would he
closed for the present, SO that sunday
nights performance was tho last until

One of the cleverest and most intense
ly interesting little dramatic sketches
that has bcon seen In this city in long
time is the little playlct, "a Touch Of
Nature which Is being presented at the
Mission this week by MillidSe Sherwood
and company. The play tells the story
OF q blind street musician who eighteen
years before the play opens finds baby
died from exposure. The blind musician
and the girl are invited into The home of
a rich man to sing and play for him and
nc learns thar the singer Is his own child
who. with her mother. he deserted years
before. IIc begs the girl to come to him
promising her everything that money can
buy. When the girl learns from her
blind companion how her father treated
nor mother she spurns his offer and goes
out into the streets again leading the
blind man who has been father and
mother to her. The little play has made
a decided hit at tho Mission this week
as have tho other acts on ihe bill.
As was anticipated the large seating
capacity OF the Shubert was taxed to

witness the initial performances OF high
class vaudeville and moving pictures
which Mr.. Florence has lnaugurated and
many asked how in the world such
largo and merilorious entertainment
could he given FOR tho ridiculousy small
admission prices charged. The Salt Lake
public has plainly set its stamp of ap-
proval on the form of entertainment com
mcnCcd AT the Shuhcrt, and the pros
poets are for a most successful season.
