The audieiice that greeted the inimitable inimit-able Nat Goodwin at the Salt Lake theater last night was one which was not only large but enthusiastic, (and well it might be, for Nat has lost none of his old time ability lo please, and iu fact if sllcli a thing is possible he is better bet-ter than ever. "A Cold Mine" is a portrayal of American life and manners which, while being especially true to nature and possessing less of the grosser exaggerations exag-gerations so common iu the more modern mod-ern plays, is clean cut in dialogue and is a never-ending mine of wit and humor hu-mor of the most refined character. Nat Goodwin and his company arc especially udaplcd to the various purls, and in his impersonation of VVoolcott thu original Goodwin is perfectly at home. In fact he is not Goodwin but Woolcotl, This is all that can be said, unless perchance it may lie asserted that the character is one of the most pleasing ever put ou the American stage. Miss Durfee, as tho English girl, is worthy of mention, while Isabella Coe, our old friend Mrs. Brooklyn Bridge of "The Tin Soldier," is as much at home in the role of a widow ns thu sweet wife of a man of means. Miss Coe is a general gen-eral favorite everywhere, and she is especially es-pecially liked in Salt Lake. In fact she is deserving of all praise, for no one strives harder to please than she. The other characters in the play are all up in their parts and acquit themselves them-selves creditably. "A Gold Mine" closes its engagement tonight. IDA HITCHCOCK.
