Mr. Helds solo, The Sweetest Story Ever Told, was certainly sweet enough for the young ears of the young ladies. Selections from the tuneful Serenade, which the Bostonians had just given us, were applausively received. The most novel treat of the evening, however, were the national airs, including the Japanese and Russian. The Japanese national hymn was marked by the appearance of the Mikados flag with its white field and red center. When the Russian music was played, flew out. The the Czars double-eagle-s which aplause greeted the two flags showed where the sympathy of Salt Lake inclines. Between Yokohoma and Vladivostok there is not only a difference of geography, but of sentiment, and we clearly showed our preference by applauding for the little brown man' and his peculiar music. Probably the most enjoyable number by the hand was the selection from II Trovatore. When it came to the anvil chorus there was not only a clanging of hammers, but an electric display, representing flying sparks, all of which was very pretty. The program concluded with LitofTs descriptive Maximilian Robespierre, which, however, owing to its own length and the length of the program, did not appeal to the audience as it would have done otherwise.

Already this portion of the west has been chosen as the exclusive field for the production of various dramatic enterprises and the tendency is more and more in this direction. The declaration made by Miss Roberts is not only complimentary to the growth and enterprise of the west, but it shows that her own ambitions are estimated by its standard of progress and achievement. In Salt Lake, long ago, we took Miss Roberts as a representative western actress. Indeed, actresses could come and go, but in them we took only a momentary interest or a passing concern. With Miss Roberts it has, from the first, been different. With each and every recurring visit our local pride in her has grown. We have for her not only a professional interest, but a constantly growing personal Florence Roberts is entitled regard. to wear the starry mantle as the representative actress of the west. J & Following MJss Roberts, Denman Thompson, in The Old Homestead, will appear Friday and Saturday. Mr. Thompson was the first actor to successfully launch the simple, country drama. Since then there has been a world or rural plays and an army of actors. But Denman By Gosh has been faithful to his Thompson love has first and persued the methods which, from the first, have stamped his quaint and kindly play as the worthy dramatic pioneer of the country drama.

On April 24th Helds band will be assisted by a musical com- pany of recognized ability and merit J The entertainment given for the benefit of the Kearns St. Anns Orphanage was deservedly well attended. Everything on the program was of the highest merit and there was a double pleasure in knowing that while your money paid for good entertainment, the dollars went to sweet charity. The little ones out at St. Anns Orphanage can never forget the 17tb of March! Jt Florence Roberts will be with us again next week, her engagement beginning Monday and running through four nights. Miss Roberts has said that it is the height of her ambition to become the representative actress of the west. It seems to me that the lady is rapidly attaining this distinction.
