pieces were represented The William Tell overture and several others of about the same calibre are being rehearsed and air Careless will himself write a light piece something after the order of the

Germany where she expected i ex-pected to have a good engagement If she remains on the oonoert stage she may succeed but she is no actress and i never will be Tier appearance in I opera in London was a terrible fiasco I can IoIot think of it without the warmest sympathy for her She recently sang a I brief concert engagement in London that was very successful She has a beautiful voice and she is herself ant an-t admirable lady but voices like hers I the light sopranos I mean are plentiful in London and to rouse any furore there one must have the grand organ I of aMaternaor some others of those J German singers The friends of Mr and Mrs Young i will be pleased to learn that they commence i I com-mence teaching this week beginning on Monday Jit 11 oclock with every I indication of success They have shown j I their wisdom by making very mpderate terms so that instruction j in the divine art has been placed beyond the reach of no one The j i charge for a term of twelve weeks two j lessons a week is hut 20 one lesson a I 1 week 12 rates which are even below j I thpsc at present paid to some local pro 1 fessors Headers are referred to Mr I Youngs announcement in another column

the town absolutely re i i fuses to enthuse It there is anybody I Around the Theatre who feels curious enough to investigate the cause for the L absence of last years boom we think we can afford hima1 material > in ter or two The trouble is that until people are sure the prices will not be such as to place the opera beyond their reach they decline to allow their blood to course any faster through their veins with anticipation The public is in a stingy mood just now and even enthusiasm en-thusiasm is too precious a thing to be expended until there is some chance I that it will not to wasted Besides we hare lately had Tagliapietra Campo bello and Abbott for 150 and the difference dif-ference between that amount and 5 I rep resents a good deal more than the differencejm satisfaction between these artists and those of Jfaplesons company com-pany Given Patti and 5 will nol be grumbled atj given what remains without with-out her at that charge and there will be the most wholesale staying at home ever witnessed in amusement annals in this city If Patti wont sing 2 250 or 3 gand from that down would yield a 2000 or 3000 house and with that Mr Mapleson ought to be satisfied Notes Mrs McKee Rankin is Kitty Blanchard Blan-chard Katie Putnam and Harry Emery are I in Portland Jim Hardie has bought a new play called Second Love Emma and John Howson are about to commence their starring tour Campobello will go into the amateur opera business in San Francisco Oliver Dond Byrononly opened to a house partially filled in ban Francisco Fran-cisco Rob Gorlinski the young baritone

was signed Jan24 He will depart for London after his San Francisco engagement en-gagement i Mordaunt who comes with McKee Rankin was last here with Old Ship mates the play for which Tryon painted so fine a ship scene The Rose Eytinge Company appears to be doing badly John T Melone has left because he would not give receipt for his back salary unpaid or accept lower terms for the rest of the season Chronicle A Wifes Honor was announced for revival in Salt Lake last week Whether this is another venture by the author of the play Mr Marston IS not stated His company disbanded in the west a few weeks ago under not very pleasant I circums tan ccs Mirror Carleton has made his long anticipated antici-pated appearance in New York Jessie Bartlett Davis of course scored the greatest hit Clark came next Dora Wiley received only faint praise and none of the others not even Golden roused any enthusiasm u u On Monday evening the Evan Stephens singing class will be recipients I of a visit from the University class and the Eleventh Ward choir when a sociable I soci-able friendly time is anticipated The programme will consist of choruses ductts quartetts and a few character songs will be indulged in each society will furnish the material for the occasion Only a few friends will be invitedowing to the many mem bers of the society and the capacity of the building being small J B Booth the son of the late Junius Brutus Booth who is like his father in height and appearance spoke his first lines on the stage a week or two ago playing the not remarkable but never theless important character of the foreman fore-man of the jury with John TRaymond in Colonel Sellers Sidney Booth a youth of 14 made his first appearance lately playing the little part of call boy in LOttas Nitouche Miss HosmerMrs Booths niece is also acting small parts and familiarizing herselt with the loot lights The result of this method of beginning be-ginning will be that when the young Booths have in the future long parts to enact they will know how to play them Ex Mr Henry Steinbach professional zither player is to favor the Salt Lake public with an exhibition of some very skilful zither playing The papers of San Francisco speak very highly of the concerts given by Prof Steinbach whose music is described as simply divine This concert will be a revela tion to the lovers of music j for the zither is usually very poorly played and what has been heard in the city gives avery a-very imperfect idea of what can be done with that lovely instrument The place and date of the concert will be given next week with full programme and names of local artists that will appear with the Professor Tickets for sale at D 0 Calders Music Palace r |
