K'l Today and tonight "Tho Marriage of HE ! Kitty" will bo solemnized in full view m ) ' of tho audience at tho Salt Lako tho- atort It Is described as a bright com- cdy, full of absurd situations, so funny fun-ny that oven tho plush cheeks of the chairs become wrinkled in an attempt to laugh. Max Figman is tho hilarious storm center, while around him blows a matrimonial cyclone, sufficiently breezy to keep his sails going. Last week Margaret Anglin opened her engagement en-gagement at San Francisco with "Tho Marriago of Kitty" and matlo a great hit. At the same time Max Figman did tho same thing in Denver. Now is his chance to make good In Salt Lake. To tho everlasting credit of tho town bo It said that when tho right brand of grand opera camo along, wo fought like devils at tho box-office. Henry W. Savago gave us tho goods and wo filled the aprons of his prima donnas with tho dollars of our daddies. dad-dies. In a small way, we crowded tho theater the-ater with smart people, smartly dressed a la Metropolitan opera houso. A littlo town way up in tho mountains, moun-tains, hardly a speck on tho map, going crazy over "Lohengrin" and "Tann-hauser" "Tann-hauser" must have been a joyous spectacle spec-tacle for Wagner and the gods! Tho emotional ladies bleas their musical souls will talk tone-pictures and lyric-drama until tho Bamberger road runs Into Ogden. Auf Wledersehen, Horr Wagner. J jt Tho Utah State band will give tho first of a scries of Sunday concerts at tho Utahna theater tomorrow after-neon after-neon at 4 p. m. It is ono of tho nest organizations of tho kind in tho atato and has already al-ready won Its musical spurs. Mr. Lorenzo Lo-renzo Sharp, who Bucceeds Prof. Pe-dorson Pe-dorson as conductor, Is well and favorably fa-vorably known as a cornetist of ability. abil-ity. Henry Klenko, tho buslnes manager man-ager of the band, enjoys a broad reputation rep-utation ns a wide-awake, hustling gentleman gen-tleman who wins success by deserving It. Tho already established merit of tho Utah Stato band and the popularity popu-larity of tho Utahna theater should form a combination hard to beat at the box-office. The Utahna Stock company will go up into Idaho, as soon as the engagement engage-ment at Ogden is over. It is proposed to visit St. Anthony, Idaho Falls, Po-catello Po-catello and Blackfoot. Tho musical faucets will still bo running all next week. Surely music hath charms to keep us swimming In little old Salt Lake. What with spring freshets, grand opera floods, and approaching ap-proaching lyric showers, It would bo a foolish man indeed who would fail to keep his powder dry while shooting at the box-office. In contrast to tho grand opera of this week, comes "Red Feather," a light opera, for five nights next week, with a matinee Wednesday. "Red Feather," by Messrs. De Ko-ven, Ko-ven, Klein and Cook, is described as a romantic light opera In which tho rag-timo methods of the day aro discarded dis-carded and an attempt Is made to revive re-vive tho traditions of Suppe logical motif and music which lifts ono above the commonplace melody of recent so-called so-called operatic productions. Miss Grace Van Studdiford, tho prima donna don-na of the company, appears In the title ti-tle role and Is said to excel the lyric reputation of her ".Maid Marlon," an opera by the same composers. Tho opera opens with an instrumental prelude, pre-lude, leading to a beautiful scene with a boatman's song and refrain. Immediately Im-mediately tho chorus follows in groups richly and variously costumed, building build-ing up an ensomblo of costumlc gor-geousnesd, gor-geousnesd, while the lyric action of tho opera Is at once brought into action. ac-tion. A bright song introduces the soubretto, and, after this, a dazzling array of amazon soldiers In white uniforms uni-forms and glittering helmets. Front Row club, take notice! All of these scenes aro extremely pretty In scenic scen-ic effects and the dramatic actions develop de-velop from them with tho entrance of tho heroine, who sings tho central musical mu-sical theme, the song "Red Feather," suggestive of the lilt and Hchtness of the French comlque methods. The second act Is full of life, color and lyric beauty. It opens with a conspirator's chorus, cho-rus, affording opportunity for surprising surpris-ing and beautiful light effects. Then follows a ballroom scene and the arrival ar-rival of a company of guests smartly gowned, not a la show-girl, but in the picturespuo creations more conformable con-formable to tho true spirit of earlier light opera. Miss Van Studdiford is said to be supplied with splendid solo materia and an opportunity to fully display ner physical charms In closely clinging costumes. The supporting company is described as largo and capable. The chorus, which Is dressed In riotous color all times Is said to have been chosen with a combined reference to yw- I-"7-TXcmidltion rare upon the and "Sur , Heretofore wo have modCrf.ow.Birls whoso only requisite seen fUy to poSo gracefully, mi-waS mi-waS Xture hats, and goo-goo at the d,er. hnvs Ii the front chairs.

The 'Varsity Dramatic club was here not long ago and worked out the unknown quantities in 1 very difficult equation. Now comes alone tho A. C. students with something some-thing altogether more difficult. I am told however, that these Cache county coun-ty students aro really clever amateur actors, and, as such, they can hardly wait to measuro wooden swords with their bitter rivals on the East bench. It can hardly be expected, however, that the University reception committee commit-tee will turn out and fill the streets with flowers from the depot to the theater, the-ater, or to meet the incoming actor students with flying banners and the glad refrain of a brass band, or a line of automobiles gaily decked with the entwined emblems of the U. of U. and the A. C I All this might be done in order to show how sweet it is to forgive and forget. If tho U. of U. Dramatic club got its check slapped in Logan, why should It (the U. of U.) not turn the other in Salt Lake? Anybody answering answer-ing the question will be given a free ticket Saturday night. The Agricultural Agricul-tural college carries its own orchestra, the leader of which is George W. Thatcher, ono of the state's best musicians mu-sicians and a royal good fellow. Tho Utahna has returned to vaudeville vaude-ville again, with the usual brisk demand de-mand for tickets. Chinqullla, the little Indian princess of tho Cheyenne tribe, in native dress, gives some pleasing Indian songs and dances. Chinqullla is a comely maid with refined, regular features and her Indian dances, although quite out of the ordinary, are graceful examples of poetic movement. Assisting her is Ed. Newell, the cowboy juggler, who does some really clever tricks with balancing sticks and rubber balls. Chinqullla tho Indian princess and Ed. Newell the cowboy are alone worth tho price of admission. Gulterroy brothers, the two gypsies, In plcturesquo dress and makeup, play classical music on mandolins, guitars gui-tars and banjos. Then there aro Fox and Hughes, a singing team "in selections selec-tions from grand opera. What more do you want than grand opera at twenty cents?
