Show i1 l 4 i v t rG 9y a fl r Y I 5 G a I It k The theatre people have reason to helve a sigh of relief over the outcome of their last engagement and no doubt they heaved it The first night of Sowing Sow-ing the Wind resulted in a big audience audi-ence but after that the box office showing show-ing ran down rapidly the matinee attendance at-tendance ranking but fall and the final audience last night represented the low water mark But the big first night saved any possibility of a loss and probably insured a profit on the engagement en-gagement That the Sowing the Wind company com-pany should have scored even a partial par-tial success in Salt Lake tells the story of the revival in things theatrical more eloquently than a dozen chapters could do There is probably no community in the land where the motto the best or nothing is more rigidly adhered to than in Salt Lake Having had the number one company in this play a few years back it was with surprise that people read of the coming of the number two organizatIon and many prophesied that it would be cold shouldered shoul-dered here in a very emphatic manner The rESult only showed the decided f business acumen that governs in the office of Hayman Co in New York where all bookings for tile Salt Lake theatre are made They knew the strength there was In the Sowing the Wind trademark and that there was money in the old play yet even though It were interpreted by players of the second grade Mr Julius Calm who sends out the second enterprise Is formances brought in some very comfortable com-fortable sums Profiting by his experience Mr Mul vey has canceled a flyby night attraction attrac-tion he had booked for Monday and Tuesday and will present another of Lincoln J Carters sensations Under the Dome on Wednesday It is not long since this play was seen here and everyone remembers the hit made by the sinking of the ships in the harbor of Samoa the ferry boat scene etc The bill remains from Wednesday till Saturday

furore and takes the rich cream off the pan A reasonable interval inter-val is allowed to elapse a new layer of cream forms a thin one this time It Is true and along comes Mr Cahns troupe secundo and cleans up the residue resi-due of the cream and aU the skim milk with it Look out from henceforth for number two companies of The Heart of Maryland Heartsease and the other successes which have left a name behind them It was amusing as wen as instructive to note the points of similarity and dissimilarity dis-similarity between the first and the second Sowing the Wind ventures very evidently the same stage manager had had charge of both the business down to the sip of a glass of port was identical the costumes ditto except that the ladies of the latter were much less expensively gowned than those of the former but what a difference there must have been in the totals of the two salary lists Some of the people who fitted in very fairly with Mr Cahns surroundings in Mr Frohmans would have caused a painful jar to the sensibilities sensi-bilities Mr Frohman would have parted with his birthright before sending send-ing out a ccutpany without a carload or more of its own scenery 1111 Calm

actordram atist and his talented company have taken San Francisco by storm The Examiner say of him The cleverest and most entertaining performance given during the past week was the Captain Impudence of Mr Edwin Milton Royle Few members mem-bers of the theatrical profession have been so dowered by nature that they can perform thoroughly well the dissimilar dis-similar functions of author actor and manager Mr loyle can perform them all and within the range of what he I attempts he performs them as did his illustrious fellowcraftsmen Garricl and 2lollere thoroughly well On the programme Mr Royle modestly mod-EStly describes his play as a farce it 1s more than that for In the person of Captain Shields it contains at least one admirably drawn cleancut character char-acter The interest also lies more In the good things and there are many I good things which the characters say I than In the sitUations In which the author au-thor has placed them If to these two considerations we add a thirdnamely that from the beginning it Is evident the outcome Is to be fortunatewe see that the play may properly claim rank as a comedy or rather as a come dletta The rendition was as good as the play If anyone in the little cast r is to be singled out for special commendation commen-dation it must be Mrs Royle who though carrying the smallest part left upon the mind the most distinct
