t There is a general steering clear of the festival on the part of the places of amusement amuse-ment Manager Burton has been congratulating congrat-ulating himself for some time that May 3 0 and 31 were open dates at his house and 1annger Burgess by some Napoleonic maneuvering lias succeeded in getting the Waifs of New York to change their dates from the 30th and 31st to the 2Sth and 29th Ho was feeling very happy ove the change last evening and said he woul be much itore willing to play against a circus than the festival The orchestra o f both houses are thus left free to unite wit the big orchestra which Stephens Weihe Kent Krouse and Pederson will alternatcl 37 direct at the festival If The Waifs of New York which play at the Grand Wednesday and Thursday is handsomely billed about town with prin t lag of a somewhat bloodcurdling charac tor It comes fresh from San Francisco i and the Examiner says of it Witnessing the Waifs of New York I which opened at the Alcazar last night is like living over again for a couple of hours days that wero gone twenty years ago when pieces of this sort were at the height of their popularity perfection The Waifs of Now York is an old fashioned melo drama of the very best character popular twenty years ago There is nothing bloodcurdling about It but the complicated tale of the wa fs is unraveled un-raveled so rapidly and skillfully that the terest in tho piece never flags Tho company taken as a whole is above the average The people arc all new to this coast except Seth Craneand George Thompson Miss Katie Emmett as Willie Rufus a bootblack has the leading role which she plays extremely well La Pettite Lillie as Little Gertie a waif is cute as she is diminutive Not tho least interesting feature is the scenery which is entirely new and very realistic The thirtysecond evening of the Ladies Musical society occurs tomorrow evening atCalders Following is the programme KUBENSTEIIT Reading Biographical SketchMrs C E Allen j a

asgood as last year fi aad Sweatnam and tbe Jps are thebest r 5 features though the dancing and tumbling by the five men is an excellent piece of work The Park city duet of Rice and Sweatnam is very chestnutty Salt Lake papers have had considerable to say about the collapse of the Said Pasha company In that city and heaped a great amount of unjust condemnation on the heads of the Kreling Brothers of the Tiv eli opera house and dealt in wholesale misrepresentation William Kreling never did have anything to do with the company after it left the Tivoli In fact as Business Busi-ness Manager James Ryan states John Kreling had no interest whatever in the organization after the engagement at the Bush Street thertre When John Kith ellng went east over a year ago with Ki-th e company it was on a speculation independent inde-pendent of the Tivoli opera house management manage-ment and he was warned by his brother William not to undertake the work When the company returned John Kroling owed them some money but settled with them here They were perfectly satisfied with the settlement and wero willing to takeS their chances under the management of rlr Peyser tbe former business manager John Kreling transferred the return tickets which were good for six months to take the company as far east Omaha It seems that it was the intention of tho management after filling the Salt Lake dates and thetimebooked for several places in Nevada and interior towns in this state to return to this city The best material he company was then to have been utilized for the formation of organization under aw new management to play at the Tivoli while the regular company of that house vas to have been sent north to produce the Gondoliers The collapse of the Said usha company however was brought about by dissensions in the organization which would have interfered with the bestift management in the country It is a notor ious fact by the way that the company contained two of the most notorious kick ers in the profession and that it hold on as long as it did is remarkable Music and Drama Notes Mr Stephens meets the orchestra at the tabernacle at C tomorrow night and the chorus at 7 Only press
