"MissTTate Field gave her "Mu3lcal Mono-- , logue" in the Salt Lake Tneatre, Monday evening, November 5th, to a large and intelligent audience. It was something entirely different from entertainments generally, quite original in style and excessively funny. It was full of wit and sparkle, and merriment was the consequence. Everybody laughed, they couldn't .help It, and wouldn't if they could. If a good laugh Is a good thing for the health, then Misi Field must have done considerable towards 1m- - proving the condition of her audience. To enu- -' merate all the gopd points and elaborate upon Uhe entertainment would take more ability than we poseess, but will say it was thoroughly enjoy-abl- e, especially "The silent song," the "Spanish Muleteer's song," with castanets, the toast of the Englishman at the dinner party, "Tbeltal' ian Opera Burlesque," etc., etc. : Mias Field la a' clever humorist, and one appreciates the fact most emphatically when they listen to hsr Mav steal Monuloge.
