It is the " H ll.RJB great annual dramatic inspiration of the Salt iih HISI Lake Press club, and will be produced in three if SUB acts and several scenes at the Salt Lake Theater Hill flfi on tne evenInSS of May 16th and 17th.

This will also be the first time Sher- B ii&sjiljt 1 Holmes has ever appeared, as we know B I 'fl 1 R him on any staS' and nis clever work in put- B ! 1! i HE tIng own crime unassisted by his friend, Dr. V !' 1 1111 Watson, will bring him closer to the hearts of H i ''Iff Hr tIie PePle tban ever before. B k& '?Wm ias been found in some old press club B km W&w records that Shylock was of Polish parentage, ! !fi IB nd later 1Ive in Denmark, so he, too, will be B !i iHQR true to life on hIs Dative beath. History also Rh If limn records that the original short line from Athens RV MURr to Copenhagen had a traveling passenger agent, RR iVlnraB wno was tho rs ctIzen to book Mr. Caesar and RvP IHRRB Party so the efficient young agent, Mr. Dunn, RR!

Rw 'JJhIBH In beautiful contrast the graceful Crltchlow as Bk ImBBhR Juliet will be a winsome morsel, and in view of RB JRaB the lady's stature, no balcony will be necessary, RBI ilmRfl merely a stepladder.

RB raBR Mr Nicholson is an easy mark, and as Marc RB i jJIf"R" Antony will render a funeral oration that ought RB i'HRRB to me Caesar glad that he is dead.

Mr. Lieblein's Shylock promises to discount the original 60 per cent, and anyone who has heard him tell the story of "Ven I vas in TVIonte Carlo," knows that theie'll be something doing. Race Whitney's intimate acquaintance with Mr. Holmes while assisting Jack London in writing writ-ing "The- People of The Abyss," will mean the salvation of Holmes on the stage. "Doleful Jan" Royle served an apprenticeship apprentice-ship as a gravedigger while working for the Daly-Judge Daly-Judge at Park City, and B. C. Penrose is an ex pert with a "scoop." All in all, the production will be the greatest levival of modern times, and the most strenuous suivival endured by a modern audience. Now scenery is being painted at great risk; 100 young ladies axe being drilled for the magnificent mag-nificent ballet; glittering. armor and gorgeous costumes cos-tumes are being constructed by skilled artisans and modistes, and no stone will be left unturned (that might be taken to the theater by the spectators) spec-tators) to make "The Ham Show" the theatrical event of the year. Don't forget the dates, May 16th and 17th, and don't forget that the free list is entirely suspended. sus-pended. The staff in charge to date is as fol lows: Race Whitney Director-General H. L. A.
