Few actors can make the clear distinctions without blending one with the other and destroying all effects Mr. Nat C. Goodwin is an actor who marks the line as clearly as the line between earth and sky is marked. From the ludicrous he rises to the pathetic and sublime. Laughter and tears are intermingled and the whole gamut of the emotions are played upon. Mr. Goodwin is fortunate in the choice of his leading lady. Miss Elliott is a talented actress and one who has been highly favored by nature. She has not only talent and ability but she is a remarkably beautiful woman. The comedies so far presented have been artistically given and Mr. Goodwins company is excepthe engagement closes tionally good. with David Garrick, preceded by a curtain raiser entitled the Silent System.

Up to the third act it is a great play and then it is lamentably spoiled. In fact the last act, except the finale, which is touching and gentle, is mere hodge podge. The poisoning of Hetty Thorpe by Gaffer Kingsley while startling enough should have no place in the final act of the play. It is out of tune and it is hard to reconcile the action in any way. Miss Cay van is certainly a strong, clever actress and one with such a healthy, charming personality that Bhe fits in perfectly with the environments of Squire Kate, its . The Theatre management at an enormous expense have secured the hilarious Blacks, a local minstrel organization of society young men who will be seen Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the Salt Lake Theater. Great preparations have been made for this event and it will be enjoyed because of its local character and because the young men are stars of the first magnitude in this particular line. The notorious Sam C. Park, the most wonderful ventriloquist living or. has ever lived, will positively appear and astonish the audience by his remarkable performance. Mr. Park announces that this is his last and farewell' appearance. Mr. A. H. Peabody will direct the music and the Orpheus Club will sing the chorus. Mr. Nat M. Brigham and Mr. Grant Hampton will sing some tender ballads and the Zouave Guards will make the colored troops at the Fort turn pale with envy. Shearman and Willis will be end men and Will Clark interlocutor. Mr. George F. Downey, who is billed as the cleverest mono-loquartist of the day or night is announced to appear for a farewell appearance. Mr. Downey has refused an offer of $1000 per night metallic money from the best minstrel organization in America and after this season will probably be allowed to remain in this city upon giving a satisfactory bond.
