Shakespearian Lecture by Mr. J. S. Lindsay, tomorrow evening. Coming Attractions. Grand Theatre. Spotless Town, ! September 24-2- G. If Manager Pyper had opened the season with , any kind of serious dramatic offering he would have encountered positive resentment, or, at the least, auditoriums not warmly responsive. The open air multitude which, all summer, has fluttered in white waists and white vests, was in no mood for heavy entertainment. The unconventional freedom of Saltair, goon, Calders and the Salt Palace is yet warm in the blood, even if the resorts are closed and overcoats have been redeemed. The summer crowd would have been rebellious at fiery tragedy or hot air melodrama. Othello or Jennico strangling DesdemOna, would have been sword the whirling equally distasteful ,to the summer crowd. Mr. Pyper has made the tran- to indoor amusement an easy matter in the presentation of The Burgomaster, Ellery's band and The Prince of Pil-se- n during the week. Salt Lake welcomed the return of The Burgomaster with full houses and generous applause. Except in a few minor details the opera is the same as it was before, with a few new. jokes of this years vintage. The Tale of a Kangaroo and the Indian chorus were, as before, the big song hits of the opera. As comic operas go nowadays, The Burgomaster fills all the requirements of absurdity and nonsense demanded by audiences too be amused at anything. Pix-le- y willing-tand Luders, however, were kind enough to make liberal concessions to impossible history and snap their fingers in the face of even airy probability. For this wide and strenuous departure from the standard established by Gilbert and Sullivan a great and appreciative public falls over itself in a mad rush to the box office. There are many people who would like to seea revival of Gilbert and Sullivan methods in comic opera and who even have the presumption to say so. To all such, however, it is sufficient to say that they are, commercially speaking, behind the times. The kind of comic opera offered to the public for a good time to come will be determined by the specifications on exhibition in the box office. The public alone is to blame. It pays the money and generally gets what it wants. sition from outdoor life . o J Mr. Ellery of the Royal Italian band is a man full of resources. Where others would fail utterly, he goes riding over the troubled seas as if there were no storm. He has been up in the air twice with eccentric band leaders and yet he jgniles the same old smile. Perhaps he is getting used to this condition of affairs and is never taken off his guard. Anyhow, Mr. Ellery is to be congratulated for the way he pulled out of the hole in Denver and succeeded in Getting Salt Lake hear his band. Another wise thing was in giving his concert in the Salt Lake theatre in place of the Tabernacle. Mr. Ellery possesses the qualities of generalship. & Another Pixley and Luders comic opera, The Prince of Pilsen closes its engagement with a matinee, today and performance tonight. It has been a great eastern success, and, according to press reports, is one of the most scintillating things before the footlights. It is also interesting from the fact that the royal coat of arms of the Prince of Pilsen is found dissolves in each bottle of a famous beverage riot the beer that made the Prince of Pilsen famous, but rather the reverse. By holding a bottle of Pilsener between the eye and an incandescent light, one will notice the crown jewels of The Prince swimming in an amber sea of liquid rainbows. It is, however, one of the traditions of this royal house that the gems immediately dissolve on the drawing of the cork the liquid washing away whatever dry disappointment is left sticking in the throat of the observer. The musical biography of The Prince of Pilsen, as drawn from the operatic faucet, runs as follows: Hans Wagner, an American brewer, tired of provincial life, in Milwaukee or some other equally obscure place, resolves upon a geographic diversion. With the map of Europe in his inside pocket he finds himself in Nice, a town where the people are always that way arid the girls even more so. Either by coincidence or design- - It matters neither which Hans arrives at Nice, at the time the flower show is at its perihelion; his daughter accompanies him as an unsuspected chaperone.
