engagement with the Home Dramatic club in Hazel Kirke I The ConriedFerenczy opera company i may well feel nattered by their reception > recep-tion in Salt Lake city The singing of thls organization is above that of comic opera and reached the plane of grand opera The principals were strong but I 1 the chorus was also especially good i Tho audiences were distinctly musical i th < average theatre goer apparently not caring for opera sung in German l This evening at the Salt Lake theatre thea-tre the learned Hindoo Nagnrkar will delixer a lecture on The English Conquest Con-quest of India Those who heard this talented man speak Friday evening at the Congregational church speak in tigliest terms of his lecture his vivid liictHre of India his comparison of the i 11 life of his people with ours He speaks in perfect English and is a fluent talker talk-er As the 25 cents popular price of admission will prevail the lecture this r evening will doubtless be well attended Monday Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week farcecomedy of the kind popularized by Hoyt will i hold full possession The name of the skit is A Railroad Ticket and it is I claimed to be a satire on the cutrate ticket broker or as he is popularly called the calper However 1 suppose sup-pose like most of its kind the railroad ticket or the broker or the satire has I little to do with the play itself The Home

made such an unqualified success will be produced preceded by the oneact drama Tears Idle Tsars Saturday evening and Monday evening of next week The Silver King will he given This play was one of the pleys successfully suc-cessfully produced in past years and scored one of the best successes of the Home Dramatic club As this is conference con-ference week and as Salt Lake wit be full of visitor the Home Dramatic club will probably play to the capacity of the theatre just as they have always al-ways done in the past t v The announcement of the new popular priced theatre to be built on Second South street made last Sunday was followed almost Immediately ISf active work on the excavation for the foundation foun-dation This was a great surprise to those familar with the detail and preliminary pre-liminary work necessary to such enterprises en-terprises and can only be explained by the fact that the projectors kept the matter quiet until the whole thins was matured and wok ready to be begun Much lively interest is aroused over the nnmng of the new house which will hung to the person suggesting the I na ri > a season ticket Mr M Nally who will manage the new theatre is under active correspondence with managers man-agers and booking agencies on the next I seasons bookings < i It may interest our music lovers to know that Sousas band has met with Treat favor in San Francisco The musical I mus-ical critics of that city are apparently lA peeing which can say the best things Jtr of the band and Its magnetic leader Once more Joseph R Grismer and his clever wife rhoew Davies are on the I Pacific coast their old field where fame i and fortune first reached them and the I way The New South is being received tells much for their continued popularIty j popular-Ity in the place where they are best known The feminine part of the Conned Fenerczy Opera company were decidedly decid-edly Flemish in style of beauty To speak in thc plainest English they were fat decidedly fat Such a bevy of plump more than plump beauties was never before seen upon our stage j From th < immadonnas down to the 7 chorus giilf they were heavy weights ouv they could sing How they could sing Then they all sang together the volume of sound was almost deafening The Illustrated American has published pub-lished a collection of portraits of the notabifs of the stage It is called T Galaxy of Players and is one of the I 1 finest things of the kind I have ever fr seen There is a full page of portraits of each actor or actress with a half a dozen sketch as they appear in their most famous characters There is a fine portrait of Booth and a sketch of his life by William Winter For any one interested at all in the rota ides of the stage this publication is a gem Spring is upon us and with it spring hats and alas they are monsters in size The woman who can resist the temptation to wear a big new hat to the theatre is a lady a true lady The othes arewell never mind what they areIve Ie a new reform to suggest to remedy rem-edy the evil of the big hat Reserve a certain section of the theatre for big hats and compel all such wearers to sit in that part Jn this way they would continually take their own med icine and I think a few experiences of tMs kind would effectually cure the most confirmed criminal In some parts of the theatre Friday evening were certain little localises where there was an undercurrent of blasphemy that was something awful One poor girl I noticed dodged actively back and forth behind a big monument S monu-ment of feathers wire and ribbon during dur-ing two acts of The Tyrolean trying to get an occasional glimpse of the stage but exhausted nature at last asserted itself and she dropped back on the seat closed her eyes and listened list-ened She didnt swear but the look on her face was a study LCM r Stage Gossip Sol Smith Russell closed his tour last night Frederick Warde and Louis James separate at the end of this
