Only a fair sizod audionce was In nt-tondanco nt-tondanco last night to witnoss tho really flno acting and liston to Ambroise Thomas' charming mania at tho Salt Lake theatre last night. Whatovormoy be tho causo of bucIi Blira audiences, our people should remember that thoy owe it to themselves and to tho fair reputation reputa-tion of tlio city to give a jiint meed of on-counigoment on-counigoment to such splendid organizations organiza-tions as the Juch company.
