Show THE BOSTONIANS. B "The Devil's Auction," in its twenty-second B season will be followed by "Robin Hood" in its B twenty-fifth, and while no comparison is intended 111 (heaven forbid) it, does seem a little daring for H these "fifty years ago to-day" singers to put on 111 Robin Hood and the Serenade for five perform- H ances. But pardon. The performances will be dl- B vlded by The Queen of Laughter, which is said to B bo a very musical opera, and something new at B least. The pleasant advance man guarantees no B substitutes during this engagement, and we'll all B welcome back those good old friends Barnabee fl MacDonald, and Frothingham, assisted by a sup' fl port which includes Agnes Cain Brown, Howard fl Chambers, Douglas Ruthven, Campbell Donald and fl Adele Rofter. This is the silver jubilee year of fl the Bostonians, who will open it in Robin Hood fl Wednesday night, playing that again Saturday fl evening, The Serenade Thursday night and, Sat- fl urday afternoon, and the Queen of Laughter, PrI. fl day night. H 5 3t v B Homer Davenport's fame Is world wide. In fl comparatively a few years he has become recog. fl nized as the leading cartoonist in America, and so fl great is the popularity of his work that his orig- fl inal drawings are eagerly sought for by all kinds fl and conditions of people. At the height of the ad- fl verse criticism on the candidacy of Admiral Dowpy fl for President, Davenport drew a picture of the gai- fl lant old Admiral standing on the bridge of the fl Olympia, and with the smoke of the battle of fl Manila Bay flying thick about him. Beneath It fl were the words: "Lest We Forget." The effect fl of the cartoon was Instantaneous. It brought Dew- fl oy letters from hundreds of admirers all over the fl country, and so great was the attention it attract- fl ed that its author was requested to send it to fl Washington to be placed on exhibition. The re- fl quest was complied with, and the picture drew such fl a crowd that the police finally ordered that It he fl taken from the window in which it was displayed fl Other cartoons have brought him no less renown, fl and even the public men whom he most often impaled im-paled on the point of his keen pen have sought for his pictures to keep as mementos of the campaigns they have gone through. Mr. Davenport lectures K the Salt Lake Theatre Sunday evening at 8:15 B nder the auspices of the Press Club of Salt Lake B Pity on "The Power of a Cartoon." The advance B ale began yesterday, and Indications all point to B a large audience. K i 2Z & |
