The program was patriotic, in honor of Washingtons birthday the air fluttered with musical flags. Every, thing considered, there should not have been an empty seat in the auditorium, but many vacant chairs were in evidence. It was a program which appealed to widely divergent tastes, and, if there were some who did not relish all the numbers, they certainly found themselves applauding some of the features. A friend of mine, who has not yet recovered from the Chinese New Year, was especially pleased with Bendixs musical fan tan Chinese. This friend is quite imaginative, too. for he insisted that the piece carried with it a chop suey movement, while green dragons crawled out of the big tuba and poppy fumes floated over Ihe clarionets. As an encore the Salome was rendered it was so weird and fantastical, in parts, as to tingle the blood with a fascination to which one yields with almost joyous resignation. The sunny, airy, Will o the Wisp, was as tantalizing a bit of music as ever kept the ears running acrcss a field fragrant with alluring melody. The special features of the program were the vocal solo by Mr. A. W. Knox and the baritone solo, "The Holy City," by Mr. Joseph McMahon. Both gentlemen received any quantity of generous applause. Taken altogether, the concert by the First Regiment band last Sunday was in every way a musical treat. For some reason The Devils Auction always did do a big business in Salt Lake. The strange thing about it is that noDody knows why, either. As a complete and monumental concession to lovers of absurdity and panoramic nothingness. The Devils Aus-tio- n goes to the highest bidder. Mr. Yale, whose bank account has been abnormally swened by this phantasmagoria of spectacular absurdity, announces his deliberate intention of carrying it on forever and then some. By the way, Mr. Yale has brought out of new scenery, but several the painter has failed to disguise the antiquity of the females. Did you notice em? Dont you think the tights would have been more symmetrical if Mr. Yale had filled them with billiard cues? And this, too, after the Anna Held pageantry of passionate hosiery and shapely shapeliness!

It is said that he will write a descriptive piece of music reflective of the pugnacious activity of American legal complications.

The bass drum will be brought to the front and allowed to revel in atmospheric agitato, while the tenor drum will roll out volumes of smoky furioso. Strong fortissimo coloring will be given by the double quintette of trombones with piston rod accelerando. From the fugel horns a flood of brassy complaints will run in wavy crescendo effects. It is thought that when Mascagni fully matures hi3 composition, his departure from America will be immediato and accelerando. Unless all signs fail, the coming production of Sherlock Holmes, by William Gillette, will be the greatest dramatic offering of the year. Most elaborate preparations are being made to give the production a strictly metropolitan scenic environment. Mr. Gillette, Sherlock with Holmes, captured London as well as New York, and succeeded in gaining an unusual international dramatic success. All local theatre goers are familiar with the famous novel from which the play is taken, and this fact has made everybody anxious to see the portrayal of the clever Sherlock detective upon the stage. Holmes is a most interesting personality, even in cold type, but to see him in flesh and blood .will be an opportunity nobody can afford to miss. The engagement is for three nights, beginning March 2nd. & J Following Sherlock Holmes at the Salt Lake theatre, Dan Sully, an old favorite, will be seen in his latest sucIt is a cess, The Old Mill Stream. romance of the Catskill mountains, and, it is said, is full of interesting sit- uations and delicious comedy.

Morris Sommer took a fall of Jedge Kroeger last Thursday which was quite terrific. Hon. Morris Sommer was defending a man who court cf was sued in the Kroeger by the Lukes. In appearing for his client the Hon. Morris informed the court at the outset that whatever was done h did not propose to abide by the decision of the court which was not a court. That if the court which was not a court made any order he w'ould advise his client to resist the same. Whereupon Mr. Kroeger informed counsel that if so-call- ed - he didnt do what he told him to do he, Mr. Kroeger would send him, Mr. Sommer, to jail. Then Morris tore off THEATRE a bit or two of eloquence. What, send me to jail. For what? Contempt of a court that is not a court. What power have you to send me to jail? What officer would you gei to take me to Sunday, March 1st. reI on if who he would tried it jail 8l30 P. M. sist even to taking a shot at him.
