Show L g 11 0 t In r II I I i The Grnd and Lyceum had things their own way and In spite of the inclement in-clement weather did a big business I every night with the usual crowds yesterday afternoon This week however the theatre will have at least two attractions tomorrow tomor-row night the University of Michigan I Glee Banjo and Mandolin club and on Wednesday night the lecture on I Japan by Frank Carpenter The lecture to be delivered next Si Wednesday evening at the Salt Lake lbf theatre by the noted newspaper correspondent iJ corre-spondent Frank G Carpenter will r without any dOubt be a grand literary I treat The subject Japan or the I I Yankees of the Orient is an attractive one and in the hands of so able a I speaker and descriptive writer as Mr t Carpenter cannot fail to be well worth hearing The lecture is under the auspices aus-pices of the Salt Lake City Press club for the benefit of the Pioneer library Th ladies composing library com mitto find it exceedingly hard work r to keep that very praiseworthy and necessary institution running on account I ac-count of the lack of funds Especially Is this so since the city council has in pursuance of its policy of economizing I econo-mizing withdrawn the citys contri ibution of 8333 per month and it has come to either closing the library or i raising funds elsewhere for Its support sup-port The PrtoS club realizing the advantages ad-vantages to every city of good books i v arts to do something for the library and therefore made an agreement with I t Mr Carpenter The club gets nothing out of it either a percentage nor in r any other way and after paying Mr Carpenter and the expenses the whole of the proceeds will be handed over to the ibrary committee Th lecture itself which will be il lustrf ted by stereopticon views will be worth a pveot deal more than the 50 L cens adnrission and those who attend will have the satisfaction of knowing that their money will be used for an excellent object Mr Carpenter is on a world lecture tour and a few evenings ago delivered this lecture in Omaha and the press comments of that city were highly compliments Primrose Wests world famed minstrels are booked for the Salt Lake theatre on toe evening of April 30 C This is one of the strongest and highest high-est class entertainments of the kind I on the road and will present a good I F live entertaining programme t I Frank Mayo with his own dram atlza ition of Puddnhead Wilson will come to the theatre next week It will be 1 r one of the productions of the year and It the success that has followed Mayo i k wherever the play has been seen is i sure to be repeated here The Examiner last week Jn a column criticism of the production said I Puddnhead Wilson as produced w t by Frank Mayo and his clever band is as quaint and as Interesting a picture t as ever footllgnts were reflected upon r It is a glimpse of the past to all intents in-tents and purposes for the utmost at r J iention has been paid to costuming and staging and the characters move along so naturally and quietly that one feels as if it were not a play at all but that people long dead were being r caused by some mysterious agency to r troop before his vision I I The performance of the University of f Michigan Glee Banjo and Mandolin k club < at the threatre will no doubt I Jrrng ou all of the people in the city r who have been to college and those t wb o may have sons and daughters taking a university course It is the an of all of the larger colleges to 4 eome time arrange to send their glee f cttb out to the coast As travel now E Is the time allotted to the clubs for their tOUTS is not sufficient to cover the jocund at all profitably As a rule tbC glee club trips are of two weeks t duration and only the towns or cities f Mn the immediate vicinity of the college col-lege arc played The University oft of-t Michigan enioys the advantage of being be-ing at least 1000 miles nearer the Pacific l Pa-cific coast than any other large eastern r I institution of the kind Last year their clubs played as far out as Denver and having such a successful tour decided de-cided the last minute to include Salt t Lake city in their itinerary this year t I As is patent to any one who is interested inter-ested sufficiently to observe the trips I 1 > are wholly under the management of the students To be chosen manager 11 p is no mean honor This fact of the I Ehanagemcnt changing every year is ot conducive to the best results financially As soon as one manager is well enough acquainted with the business to do It successfully then it is time for another election and the experimental ex-perimental stage is gone through with 5 again This in a measure accounts t for the fact that the regular printing z of he clubs has not been received yet They are provided with a nice line Oil printing and photogravures of the clubs but they probably have been hipped by freight or overlooked altogether al-together Plies trials have nothing to do with tha quality of the perform nce however This year the U of M Subs consist of forty young men chosen in competitive examination from about jOOO students The members are drawn from all sections sec-tions of the country and among them is generally found at least one virtuoso c irhose who have had the opportunity Pot hearing a college banjo club will have a treat those who have never t ijiad that chance will have a revelation it Is commonly supposed that there is 1D0t much real music in a banjo but when one hears overtures marches and patrols played by the typical colt col-t Jlege club for the first time he is at least pleased if not astonished fI The college glee club is sui generis One of its chief characteristics IS that thetre is always included in its roster one or two singing comedians The collegians love for fun pervades f 4he entire performance It is Irrepressible Irrepres-sible As will be seen in the pro gramme below the comedy element E

club has engaged several sev-eral boxes and will be very much in evidence at the Glee club concert Some of the U of M graduates have signified their intention of decorating their boxes with the university colors yellow and blue Such an attractive aggregation of Doubtless young men is seldom seen this the young ladies will appreciate factKarl Miner has such an Irish brogue in TimesHerald is I that the Chicago I doubt whether it is natural or acquired I I ac-quired Miner is one of the singing comedians with a The ladies will be presented containing the souvenir programme Michigan words of two of the Carmina ensium songs of Michigan and a photograph pho-tograph of the entire club S S That the vulgar and the suggestive I the farcical com not essential to are the great success of edy is proven by Adventures of Miss The Strange Brown This attraction will be seen at the theatre on May 1 and 2 The it is such that scheme of the plot would not be surprising if the wry apparent which it affords parent opportunity for indelicacy in illusion and situation were utilized The authors however have commendably com-mendably resisted every attempt and the fun is clean if boisterous Eddie Foy we know him best by that name He accom aids not a little in this plishes in his feminine garb the most difficult task of insisting upon his masculinity mas-culinity to his audience at the same time that he makes it appear quite plausible that his get up would have deceived the inmates of Cicero academy as to his sex The company engaged to support Mr Foy is an unusually its strong one and numbers among names that of Harry Brown C J Bur ridge James E Sullivan George Gaston Gas-ton Effie Dinsmore Lizzie Conway Lillian Larkins Lizzie Morgan Pay son Graham and Madeline Miranda All things considered e the past week at the Grand has been one of the most satisfactory in the history of the house The fear that the company asa as-a whole might be materially weakened by the departure of the favorites Mr Ingersoll Miss Warren Mr Edison and Mr Ward was quickly dispelled with tthe opening performance The selection of All the Comforts of Home proved I a wise one and the production was a I marked improvement over that given by the old Grand company Clarke I Edwards Blakemore King Royce and Hathaway doing exceptionally good work while Miss Kennark Miss Truax Miss Cook Miss Henry and Miss Dean won new laurels The bill this week will be the popular popu-lar melodrama The Wages of Sin which has not been seen here for sometime some-time This play will give the company greater opportunities than did last weeks bill and a fine production maybe may-be expected The cast will be as follows George BrandWaiter Edwards Stephen lIarIerChas W King Ned his pal H D Blakemore Mr DeanHarry Corson Clarke Harry Wentworth Brigham Royce Judson an officerHarry Hathaway Ruth Hope Jennie Kennark Barbara Dale Sarah Truax Mrs BloggsMadge CarrCook Juliana BloggaHelen Henry Rose Dean Julia Dean e S S SAN FRANCISCO April 161 seize a moment out of the whirl of concert giving and sight seeing into which the choir is plunged in San Francisco to I give you a brief statement of the tour up to this time Thus far it has all been pleasure excitement and novelty I everyone is apparently engaged in a race with everyone else to see which can get the greatest amount of enjoyment I enjoy-ment out of the shortest possible space of time The Cliff House Sutro I Heights Golden Gate park and the mint all these places have been done thoroughly as Phipps would say though we have been here less than two days Chinatown will be done tonight to-night and San Franciscos newest attraction at-traction the murderer Durrant will be viewed by some at least of the party tomorrow The choir has been received receiv-ed with open arms in a social way the first persons to board our train at Oakland Oak-land were Hugh Warde and George E Lask Dozens of former Salt Lakers whom we had lost sight of for years seemed to bob UD on every corner of Oakland and San Francisco Will Calder Cal-der Utahs representative of Branden stein Co is with our party and the head of his big house nQt only bought a bunch oftickets for the opening concert con-cert but took forty of the choir today over all San Francisco set them down to dinner and did the thing up brown generally Colonel Trumbo Dr and Mrs White had a party present at the concert and today many of the choir are viewing the colonels fine art gallery in his spacious house The local lo-cal Mormon missionaries headed by Professor Tanner have done all in their power for us and they in turn have been our guests at the concert The two concerts given thus far have proved fine artistic successes only fair moneyed ones still both yielded a pro fit and in this town of overdone amusements amuse-ments it seems to be a triumph not to have a balance on the wrong side The newspaper advertising we have received receiv-ed has been immense San Francisco has six daily papers and all have given the choir the highest praise except one the Examiner The critic on this paper finds fault with the soloists and a number of small details but praises the choir highly S I S The past week at the Lyceum theater has been a banner one both financially and artistically The management made a happy selection when they settled set-tled upon the old time favorite play Hazel Kirke Few dramas of its class are so well known and liked or have served such a long and honorable career The name Hazel Kirke has long since been an accepted household word on two continents and will continue con-tinue to be such while the public taste demands pure wholesome sentiment and pathos The sentiment contained in the old play differs so widely from the pieces of modern building which of necessity seem to have as their framework some story of crime or murder or shameful sin that to sit through a performance which depicts in a homely and reasonable manner the natural sorrows and joys of reasonable every day life Is refreshing Hazel Kirke is a play without a villian and with the wholesome comedy and pathos and sentiment which springs naturally 5O < fi f 9 h < from the honest hearts of honest people peo-ple The piece was a happy selection for the Lyceum company for never before be-fore since the opening of the house has there been such general excellence The play is one of good parts all around and every particular member of the company fairly outdid themselves Miss Hall may be very flatteringly compared with the original Hazel Effie Ellsler and is the best piece of work she has done since she opened at the Lyceum Mr Brinker makes an excellent Lord Travers playing the very difficult role in an easy and artistically artis-tically natural manner Mr Lothian and Miss Lindsay as Pittacus and Dolly supply the comedy the in a manner which keeps audience in laughter whenever they Squire appear Mr Jennings plays Rodney and it is his very best part Miss Drury as Mercy is seen to advantage ad-vantage and the rest of the minor parts are in good hands This week a triple bill will be offered with the full cast of the company in the different roles The charming little domestic drama in one act entitled en-titled The Open Gate will be the first with the cast as follows Aunt HettieMaud Edna Hall Jesse Edith Lindsay Uncle JdhnH Coulter Brinker Garth Charles Lbthian Following this will be produced the famous one act gem by Augustus Thomas Edithas Burglar with little Esther Breyer in her famous role of Editha Bill LewisH Coulter Brinker Paul BentonDe Witt Jennings Editha Esther Breyer The third piece is a charming little comedy in one act adopted from Lord Tennysons poem The Sisters and called Sunset Lois and Joan stepsisters Maud Edna Hall and Edith Lindsay Aunt DrucilaNellie Doury Lawrence LeighH Coulter Brinker Mr RiversDe Witt Jennings Azariah StoddCharles Lothian The management announce that a week from tomorrow the two new people peo-ple will appear with the company The play is not announced but will probably proba-bly be Frou Frou with Mr and Mrs Gleason in their famous roles They arrive from the coast Wednesday of the week and immediately commence com-mence rehearsals Mr Gleason will take charge of the stage and his wife will play the second lead S S SOn S-On Thursday evening Miss Sabin will give a concert at the
