very large I number of professional people as well as an immense crowd of curious sightseers sight-seers The monument consists of a1 tall granite shaft simple in style and without ornamentation The only inscription in-scription on it Is the date 1887r and the initials A F Mr A M Palmer presided on the occasion and delivered a very sensible and interesting address The Rev Dr Houghton of the Little Church Arouud the Corner offered a prayer Mr Edwin Booth made a few solemn remarks and Mr Winter read a poem writ en by himself for the occasion occa-sion A hymn written by Mr George Edgar Montgomery and entitled In the Evergreens was sung by the choir which was composed o C the chorus from the McCaull Duff and Pyramid Pyra-mid opera companies and the Casino chorus The dedicating committee com-mittee consisted of Messrs Marshall H Mallory E Aronson H C Miner H G Fiske and T H French Alter the dedicating exercises the monument and the assemblage were photographed by Mr A J Roe of the firm of Robinson Roe and a committee of the Knights of Pythias placed a large garland of i flowers on the shaft The full enjoyment enjoy-ment of the proceedings was somewhat marred by the fact that the stands which had been provided for the committee com-mittee and also that for the spectators both gave way during the ceremonies and although one was injured many Indies were of course drl a fully frightened and at one moment there was danger of a panic The affair no doubt brought out a far larger cumber of people than was contemplated by those having charge of this detail of the arrangements but the consequence of the careless performance of the work came perilously near resulting in a distressing dis-tressing manner Truth From another paper we extract the I 1 remarks of Edwin Booth on this notable occasion I When the hymn was concluded the I President introduced Edwin Booth whose appearance was the signal for a lonecontinued and affectionate greet ing The great actor spoke briefly but with fervent fueling and every ear was bent to catch thesympathetic sentences that slowly fell in rich full tones from his lips COMRADES We are met here today for a very noble pUrPosethe cause of I our assembly is a hallowed one worthy of the highest eulogy and I feel but too keenly my inefficiency for the part with which you have honored me but I trust that the brevity of my discourse will atone for its inadequacy To consecrate to our dead playfellows play-fellows a testimonial of our everliving sympathy for their trials and disappointment disap-pointment as well as of our recognition recogni-tion of their worthiness is a duty we owe not to alone them but to ourselves and to our deathless art Time has not grown so very old J since the most prominent one of our j

a Salt Lake girl Geneva Price was selected to create the leading role in Mackayes new play of Anarchjj from which has lately received attention of the country Miss all the big papers Price plays underr the name of Genevieve Gene-vieve Lytton Wefind the following in weeklytFeutiieton in the Nvm Crynkles Jf rror L believe Mr Sanger tried to secure Annie Robe for the heroine in Steele Mackayes play of Anarchy There was tt t a great deal of sagacity in mat UHCUIMI and it probably originated in Mackayes discriminating brain But she wanted 500a week from which I infer that the beautiful and intellectual head is prematurely enlarged Which is a great shame Miss Robe a Rachel yet butwhen is by no means Anarchy played last week in I saw she Buffalo I regretted very much that had not been in the roie of Dianne for her own sake The performance neecU d just the one touch of ieminine power that she would have given it Miss A very charming aciresa i > ji Genevieve Lytton had been selected to the part Here it was that lpersonal play charm as Mr Mackaye She it overcame all objections phrases must have been selected on account of her Alas appearance how much the masculine judgment judg-ment has to answer for to art in making I these decisions Miss Lytton had no I that warranted recordat least none Lua this experiment with an almost tragic in the role But when she walked on literally a first act as Dianne she was dream of beauty I dont remember anything of late years that has made such a deep and instant impression on the as did that woman in her dreamy eye Directory dress and her misty hat that seemed to be woven of cobwebs The general understanding was that she had floated on thistledown fashion When she removed the cloudy hat and her Greek head and shoulders appeared in profile she looked like Helen of Troy A single red rosebud burnt in her hair She was draped like Prosepine and amore a-more ethereal classic vision we all felt had nut been seed outside of Thorvald sens atelier But that was nearly all there was to it Everybody began to forgive her for not being able to act the part ot Dianne She was just too sweet for anything even for utterance But it was utterance that the play called for What a lot of sins these personal charmers will have to answer for when things come to adjusted How many playwrights managers critics audiences audi-ences will rise up against them and say You made us lie you know you did We swore by your art when we were thinking of the curve of your neck we talked of your possibilities when we were dreaming of your physique we were dazed confused deluded I de-luded and you did it with your little rosebud in your lustrous nair All giese I actresses of personal charm must have a great horror of the other worldseeing that they
