The three vaudeville houses have made attractive bills for conference visitors. The Unique and Novelty theatres have some top liners that no out of town peoplo can afford to miss. ct At the Salt Lake theatre that But a merciful providence which tem' pers the wind to the shorn lamb, gives us, only once a year, the chilly blasts from the Rose Cecelia Shay Opera company. Early in the week troubaMiss Shay and her did their vocal dours came to town and best to destroy the reputations of Hizct, Verdi, Balfe and Gounod. I wonder if this quartette of musical masters was listening at the far away keyhole? If so, an indignation meeting has been held and a protest duly Carsigned, scaled and delivered. men, tho Spanish cigarette girl, was forced to smoke vocal sawdust through four doleful acts. In II the mushy tenor performed a kind of penance by swallowing his own falsetto before the very ears of the audience. & During The Bohemian Girl an energetic baritone struggled vainly against the impression that his scaly notes needed manicuring. In Faust there was actual wonder that Marguerite should fall such an easy victim to the combined lmpotency of nasal and his protege. Throughout all the sandy mediocrity of the Shay Opera company there bloomed one little flower the sweet voice of Mary Carrington. On the programs the operatic roles were named In combination with the principal singer and the understudy. This is an Innovation here, but there is method in such printed madness. Nobody in tho audience could tell whether the principal or the under- - study was assuming the particular part. Judged by results, however, the understudies did all tho wood sawing, while the principals were treating their voices with talcum powder. During the engagement the town turned Christian Scientist the absent treatment was applied to the box office. Miss Shay ambitious, but mismanaged should go over her company with a fine tooth comb. Then, when up in the northwest somewhere, turn the chorus men loose in the Oregon pines and send the chorus women to the Seattle laundries. A It is not jumping from the sublime to the ridiculous to leap from Shay grand opera to Hogans alley and the Yellow kids. If there was a landlord in the audience at McFadden's Flats he will always regret that his rent day did not come before Easter Sunday. Still those of us who do not draw royalties from real estate are still wondering if we didnt do ample penance for crimes committed during Lent. For those that like that kind was Flats of show, McFaddens like. kind of thed the just thing It brought back the days of our boyhood, when we used to steal under the canvas tent ' at the circus a kind of sneaking way we had when nobody was looking. There is a strenuous slap, bang, get there McFaddens Eli movement about to Flats that appeals pugilists add lovers of the stunning blow. The red whiskered Irishmen, jumping hurdles and the Yellow kids doing stunts seemed as if they had walked from tho pages of a pumpkin-colorejournal of the Willie Ilearst syndicate. There was, of course, the usual atmosphere of flying projectiles and broken heads without which McFaddens Flats would be tenantless and empty. The show also invoiced a drug store cluster of voiceless maids suspicious as to actual size and makeup. Plenty of sterilized blondes, disinfected brunettes and a still larger medicated bunch, of whom it was written: We dont like to sing in the chorus, But waitresses jobs only bhorus. When the curtain rose last Sunday evening at the Grand it disclosed a pretty picture. Each and every, one of Helds forty count em was discovered in a neat and natty uniform of blue black and military headpieces, acioss which gleamed in gold letters, a word to conjur with in local musical circles Held.

He played two numbers De Briots beautiful Caprice dRondo and an encore of ravishing sweetness. Later in the evening Mr. Shuester still farther surprised us by waving the baton, while the band marched to the music of his own composition, Helds Forty a swingy, snappy composition of considerable merit, in which cymbals, drums and trombones were much clamorous evidence.

I understand the Colorado capital made a flattering offer to Mr. Graham to come and put vocal life into one of her church choirs. However Fred, much to our musical gratification, has refused to listen to the temptress. His numbers last Sunday evening were, and Langs Irish Love Sonfr But his encore song, The Violet, showed better than either the other two the unctious sweetness of a voice prizes recognized as one of the vocalseemed of the town.
