| Show DRAMATIC AND LYRIC 4 The Logan Opera Company Will Visit Salt Lake JOHN L AND THE CODKTY FAIR t ffwo Notable Attractions This Week How John Drew Left Dab Late Notes of the Profession Arrangements wero yesterday concluded between the theatre management and the Logan opera troupe by which that company presents the opera of The Black Mantles hero on the evenings of the 28th and 29th Ogden will be visited the 25th and 20th and Provo the 27th The company numbers about sixtyfive people is made up of Logans young society people including a big batch of pretty girls has its own orchestra under the leadership of George Thatcher and includes Nettie Thatcher Sloan R C Easton R W Sloan W S Lamoreaux Bessie Morehcad and other Well known singers The company made a yrflecided hit at home and has arranged with theUnion Pacific for a special train to taken a little pleasure and business jaunt to the three big cities of the territory We bespeak be-speak them a cordial welcome everywhere I It is not necessary to sa y much of the bistrionic event with which our severa senses are to be greeted tomorrow evening even-ing The coming of the latest star in the histronic horizon Mr John L Sullivan narks an epoch in our drama and tho Thought of his rising affords some solace for the setting of that other luminous star Mr Booth truly life is not without recompenses Readers of Dramatic and Lyric are perhaps already acquainted with our impressions of Mr Sullivans acting in the play fitted to his talents by Mr Duncan B Harrison and entitled Honest Sand S-and Willing Hands Wo had the pleasure of seeing Mr Sullivan in the play in Chicago 1 Chi-cago and our impressions were at once transmitted to TIIE HLKALD We advise everyone to go the spectacle is well worth the price of admission and if any of the hypercritical are inclined to find any fault with Mr Sullivans reading of his lines or manipulation of his gesturesthe little set fco between the villian and himself ingeni tl iusly introduced into the drama will forman form-an ample recompense Also we are adVised I ad-Vised that whereas Mr Sullivan does not wish to sot any limits to legitimate criticism criti-cism it will not be healthy for anyone within reach to indulge in too boisterous signs of disapproval t = I V I J Jj The success of Uncle Josh and The I Old Homestead has been duplicated by that of the County Fair which comes with all its horseracing patents to the I theatre the last halt of this week Like Tli Old Homestead wh oso fame was I thought to be sufficient to send it on the road without Denman Thompson the County Fair with Neil Burgess in it made such a hit that Mr Burgess stays at home and plays while a substitute fills his part on the road The County Fair is of the comedy classification described as bubbling over with cheery humor and laughable incidents Its heroine is a precise and practical spinster Abigail Pine mistress of Rock bottom farm beloved by an ancient beau Otis Tucker whose extreme diffidence has always prevented him from proposing A mortgage covers the little farm but the I brave spinster never weakens in her duties Land L-and objects and is unwillingly saved by tho winning of of a large purse by her horse Cold Molorses This brief outline which js told simply and diversley suggest tho 1story There is just a shadowy penciling of the pathetic in it and the horse interest Is materially introduced The race is the climax of the play producing such an effect ef-fect as is rarely seen on the stage for it is I the culmination of stage craft Here is I given all tho excitement of the track for by an ingenious piece of mechanism three horses genuine are seen galloping for dear life in all the enthusiasm of a close finish and when the horse Hero forges ahead so closely is the counterfeit stamped I as real that ladies join in the cheering that 1 involuntarily escapes the lips of the sterner sex Seats for this production will be ready Wednesday iF The full programme for the June festival Is out and THE HERALD presents it herewith here-with The names of notables who will appear ap-pear and the attractive situations make up a veritable feast the like

Pedersen Arthur Random James Olsen string quartette and E Stephens con ductor iI John Drew and Augustin Daly have quarreled and the actor has left the company com-pany with which he has been so long identified iden-tified There was a time when an actor who held the place of leading man in Dalys company would have been thought insane for resigning but that time is past and Augustin Daly is not the only manager on earth Daly has done something for the American stage and a good deal for himself him-self but he has never been popular with the members of the profession His stage system has been composed of equal parts of sumptuous draperies and suppression of individual ambition He has preferred to retain for Daly all the credit of the performance and always mac a feature of strict stage discipline He will be able to got along without Drew of course but he will find it difficult diffi-cult to secure as clever a dresscoat actor Drews salary Drew leaves the company com-pany because ho says he is tired of being used as amere foil to Ada Rehan and they are tellintr a lot of stories now about the way In which that talented actress tyrannizes tyran-nizes over the only manager on earth and the other members of the company It was she who insisted on the London season that cost Daly so much and it was saia that her ambition was to eclipse the fame of Ellen Terry So she was duly lauded by the press as a Shakesperean actress and Daly paid the bills It was she who insisted in-sisted on the costly production in New York of old comedies that gave her the op portunity to display her grace in wonderful wonder-ful gowns and forced the company out on the road ahead of time to make up box office deficiencies She is a lovely woman and a clever actress but they say she is a very demon for having herown way and Daly who never gives way for any one else is as pliable as putty in her hands Drews first open quarrel with Daly occurred some time ago at a rehearsal rehear-sal OldMrs Gilbert was trying a new part of Daly and did something or said something ina way that did not please him Daly is always peppery at rehearsals and on this occasion was so illtempered that he used language unbecoming a car driver angered by the refusal of a teamster to get off the track and on such an occasion a good deal of latitude is permitted Drew heard him and laying down his book of fered his arm to Mrs Gilbert saying Madame of course you cannot remain here Permit me to escort you to your apartments This was said in a tone that gave Daly a hint that Drew felt himself included in the fluent objurgations hurled at tho lady and as there was nothing else to do he promptly I apologized Examiner I |
