Show II Dramatic. H 'jr Manager Pyper received a telegram from Henry H 'Ji Miller on Wednesday stating that it would be im- Hj '' possible for him to play here. This settles the m u matter definitely, and we will not see the Empire K players this season. The failnro to play here M t might be looked upon as a compliment to our H w theater-goers in this way: After leaving San jw y Francisco, Miller played Sacramento and other IH w cities with an understudy in Miss Anglin's roles. jyP p It looks as though he cares more for the local jvji ' opinion, but it is too bad he could not see his way Hi to play a night at least, even if he had to repeat 3 ! "Heartsease." Ill ' nj r "The Penitent," the work of Hall Caine, but mi ! without the depth of "The Christian," comes to ' the Salt Lake Theater next Thursday night. It is w I presented by Nankeville's company, and is said to Meiaflf l e ono of tne best staged productions on the road. H' n ' Particular mention has been made of the dual role Hj- j I of Paul Ritson and Paul Drayton, the work of B!i'i i Frederick Lane and it is said that the whole pro- B ' '$ f duction is well cast. soffit 1 1 j I 1 .
