It is generally known that this is a season HJBJ j )r;J ' 1 1 not particularly favorable to public amusements. Hffl, r'jDi jljl Whatever the causes and they. may be many, a B' r ' II certain financial stringency has settled on the B ( ' h', a land which finds immediate expression in a tight- IBBBIli r i j 1 n ening of the purse strings for anything in the 'j jj shape of luxury. j ! j Now Madame Patti is distinctly a luxury and '!' I H a high-priced one, and yet her receipts, always j ' ' l j! jj! j H large at any season, good or bad, have been HI ;- j li m phenomenally so this year. In fact they are H i larger than in the days of her prime when first Bjl1 f! U she returned here about 1881. It was intended !!f, Jt m when she first came to New York this year that Q '(j jfl she should apear twice at Carnegie Hall, but the ' if, kt demarfd for seats was so great that three con- BBBj'i ' 'I : m certs were given in one week, the aggregate of re- IH'1' ' a A B ceipts for that time being $30,000. Then she Hn , ' '' B went to Philadelphia, notoriously a pretty slow H,i i M ,town, and sang to probably the biggest receipts bBB '' i i Bfl oMier artistic career, that is to say, $13,500.

It is safe to say that the play is good, and that Ida Conquest played the part- well, but there Is no one In the country, not excepting Mrs. Carter Car-ter oi Mrs. Fiske, who is. so suited to such a part as Clara Bloodgood, and in missing her Salt Lake misses a good thing. & & William Tooker of the "Girl With the Green Eyes" company is a versatile young man among other things. 'He is very popular here and well remembered for his clever work in the old stock company days, but while he was forced in those days to occasionally detone lines which should have been embalmed, few people knew that he was a real bona fide embalmer and that he LULU GLASER in "Dolly Varden." occasionally worked at the profession for a local undertaker even in his palmy days as a matinee hero. At one of " the matinee performances in Salt Lake it was noted that Mr. Tooker dashed from the theatre with heroic strikes between the acts. The secret. did not get out for some time, but the genial thespian admitted afterwards that the task which kept him so busy in the interludes inter-ludes was the delicate one of embalming a corpse for a local undertaker." t? v5 c? November is the. season when showers of falling fall-ing stars are said by astronomers to be"the most abundant. This past month has proved no exception excep-tion to the rule. There was Orrin Johnson who fell out of "Hearts Courageous," and Arthur Byron who was lost in the disaster which befell "Major Andre." Mrs. Sarah Cowell Le Moyne ended her third attempt at starring and probably prob-ably her last for some time to come In "Lady Berinthia's Secret" on Thanskgiving night; and Jessie Millward joined the ranks of darknened stars a day or two later, her English comedy "A Clean Slate," having been most appropriately named from the boxofilce point of view, And the list of November disasters might be much farther extended.
