ILMORE closed a i j 4 v e ry successful t engagement in e 1 Salt Lake yesterday r yester-day there being avery n H a-very large attendance attend-ance at the matinee i mati-nee when a most zt u pleasing pro gramme was presented Contrary to the usual custom in Salt Lake applause was loud and prolonged and Gilmoro and his artiste have reason to feel proud of the reception re-ception afforded them In the place of the united chorus of the previous evenings 1000 school children were present and they did themselves tho utmost credit particularly in the Star Spangled Banner and The Anvil Chorus Nearly every instrumental number on the programme yesterday afternoon was encored and the Misses Schnecloch and Messrs Clodio and OMahony were also recalled Gilmore and bis band appeared in Brig hum City last night and are billed for Ogden this evening From that point they go eat visiting yarious Colorado cities en route II Taken all in all tho Gilmore festival in Salt Lake was n most unqualified success especially from an artistic point of viewand this after nil is the true criterion That ho gives us better music that he received better aid from our local talent than ever before is also beyond question That he would have secured at least a thousand more auditors Bad he not appeared in Ogden Brie ham city and other towns there can be no doubt If Gilmore is desirous of visiting Salt Lake next year with 100 musicians in the orchestra and expects to be supported by lOJl in the chorus ha will do well to consider con-sider whether it Is wisdom to visit out lying towns which would otherwise be tributary to this city Lillian Lewis and her company appear at the theatre on Tuesday evening next pro ducing Credit Lorraine Skipped by the Light of the Moon drew a very slim audience last evening It was all the company and tho skit deserved de-served however It nas been aennitely decided that Fat initzee will bo presented by the amateurs on Christmas eve and Christmas

us with the most glowing enconiums Hon H J Grant who is now in San Francisco writes Manager Burton as follows The first night or my arrival in San Francisco I went to the Baldwin opera house and saw Sinbad The following Saturday night called to get tickets to take in the show again but there was standing room only Indeed it seemed that standing room only was a chronic complaint with the Baldwin I understand Sinbad comes to our theatre In tho near future and I want to say right here that the show is well worthy of public patronage The extravaganza will be OG I I i ¼ N IDA MDLLE presented in this city four nights during he present week commencing on Wednes day next The spectacle as its name indicates indi-cates is based on the familiar Arabian Nights story of Siubad the Sailor The cast embraces the best talent that can be secured and every feature of the piece 1 IB said to be as perfect as it is possible to make it The full strength of the American Extravaganza company is utilized in the piece and the cast includes Louis Elssing Ida Mulle Fanny Beano Topsy Venn Annie Dacre Frankie Raymond Babette I Rodney Bessie LynchEmma MulloEd win Foy Henry Norman Arthur Dunn Spencer Gracey

Extravagan-za company and is said to be the most de lightful and novel terpsichoreau event It is some time since an extravaganza of the merit of Sinbad has been done here and there is no doubt but the standing room sign will be used on each occasion of its presentation New York will have plenty of opera this season The Casino is giving its patrons a bill composed of The Tyrolean and IICa valleria

feast of music for you not to speak of Henry Abbeys Italian and French opera season to be inaugurated at the Metropolitan opera house In December Ve hear a good deal about the fickleness of the public taste and if we accept this be ief it seems almost miraculous that Wilson WIl-son should after having played his operatta for seven long weeks in New York last year return with the same attraction and in the face of such opposition resume precisely pre-cisely the same manner of prosperity that had greeted him before But Francis Wilson Wil-son has always been a recordbreaker and nothing appears to interrupt his enormous success The Brigham City Opera house is now completed and the grand opening took place a few days since The building will comfortably seat COO people divided as follows Parquet
