In speaking of his 1901 plans
Manager Pyper said: 'FDou t let the
Salt Lake public get the idea that the
Salt Lake theater is going out of busl
ness We have been here nearly fifty
years. giving the public the best that
could be secured for the intermountaln
region, and we will continue to present
the best that can be found. While the
first class business will be divided this
year between the Salt Lake and Colo
nial theaters, we expect TO keep mp our
past reputation in presenting the best
the country affords We will have at
our command the productions OF
Charles Frohman, Klaw G. Erlanger, Da,
vid Belasco. Mrs. Fiske, Henry Miller,
Charles Dillingham;, Augustus Pltou,
Frederic Thompson, Henry B, Harris,
names to conlure with, our patrons may
be sure they will not be disappointed.
The old theater is peculiarly adapted
to the great productions, and the horse
shoe arrangement of the auditorium
conduces to the sociability which has
always been a characteristic feature Of
the Salt Lake theater.
"During this season we will include
in our productions such new successes
as .The Spendthrift,' William Gillette,
Henry Miller's plays, Frances Starr,
Rose Stahl, Lillian Russell John Drew.
Jack Barrymore, fThe Three Twins,
and a long list of plays of this class.
Our policy, however, will be to an
nounce our plays as they come along
rather, than to advertise the whole sea-
