"Fantasma" as it Appears Trom the Doorway of the Stage Dress-ing Eoora. WHAT IS COMIHG NEXT SEASON. The Mechanical Effects of the Stage Electrio Lights for Earrings-Costu- mes Prom Paris. The second performance of "Fan-tasma" was witnessed by a large audi-ence at the Grand last night, which warmly applauded the efforts of the company, as each and every one strove to excel iu his or her part, There is no use wasting time in describing the plot of "Fantasma." There is one of course, but it is of a peculiar nature, the play being secondary; the magnificent scenic effects and gorgeous transformation scenes being the principal attraction. It would be unfair, however, to let the opportunity of saying a word in favor of the members of the company pass without so doing. Kugeno O'Kourke, the Mephislophi-lea- Zamaliol, is deserving of especial note. O'Kourke is a born comedian and for years has convulsed his audi-ences by his ready wit and laughable action. But in this role ho is 'called upon to become a tragedian, a charac-ter directly the opposite, and extremely dillicult. lint the hearty appreciation of the audience is sufficient to convince one that he is successful in his effort, so why repeat what is well known. Louis Pizzarolle as Pico is a wonderful mau ami makes more fun than - a ' box of monkeys. The Fantasma of Rose Forte is really a clever little piece of work and the beauty and vivacity of the charming lit tlo woman as she tloats around the stage like the fairy creatures we read of are entertaining to the highest de-gree. Ida Maussey as Lrno should not be forgotten either, as she too is de-cidedly clever. J. II. Smiley as Arthur deserves credit for the rendition of his pars. Ofcutt is developing a voice that will some day be heard from and his Marguerite last night was greatly ap-preciated. But the scenic effects. As the New England Yankee would say "what work! what works!" From the house they are wonderful because they are beautiful; from behind still moro so be-cause of the mechanism. The writer was permitted through the courtesy of Mr. Hanlon to take a peep behind the scenes last night, and what he saw there would make a vol-ume. Oh, you people who sit out in front and applaud when the skeletons wave their arms and shriek in glee, don't you wish yon knew how it was done. It's simple, too, but it cost two men a lot of money to learn it. And you laugh when tho magic boots start up the wall, because it looks simple, doesn't it? Well, it is, but more than one day was spent in per-fecting the plans. And how vigorously you applaud as Pico plunges around through the labyrinth,' and you think it's easy, but do you know that piece of work cost six inonths hard labor? And the revolving tableaux that you applaud so vigorously. Bless your hearts they are pretty, aren't, they? But great Ciesar's chest protector, you ought to see tho machiuery iu tho rear that puts the affair in working shape. It would paralyze you people, it surely would. While you folks iu front are calmly listening to tho orchestra playing between the acts do you know what is going on behind? Ah, yes; thought so. Well, there are thirty or forty husky young men changing scenery nud in ordinary every day parlance, they have to get a movement on themselves to do it: Because "Fantasma" curries a lot of scenery. Think of eight thousand yards of canvas and imagine all the set pieces and other brie and then thank your lucky stars that you can sit out in front, aud don't have to shift the scenes. "Fantasma" w ill bo repealed again touight for the last time in Salt Lake this seasou, perhaps for ever. You see its like this. Mr. Hanlon is getting up another spectacular piece that will knock this all hollow. The scenery is beingmadeiu Europe now, and when it is finished it will bo the finest lot of stage settings that ever was produced or set up on any stage in the world. And with it will go a little engine that will furnish electric lights for the stage: And what else do you suppose will be done? Why, every fairy iu tho com-pany will wear earrings and necklaces of an incandescent electric lights, small, of course, but electric lights just the same. You don't believe it. Well ask Mr. Hanlon and ho will tell you so. And the situations will be, oh ever so much moro startling. It can't be ex-plained just at this time, but before long the "prospectus" will be out, and some of the costumes, why, they will bo simply immense. Paugat at Paris is working on some of them now. You saw the man beheaded last night didn't you? and it was so natural that it made the cold chilis chase each other up your back. But you just wait and see. They're going to introduce a fea-ture next season that will discount this one. But that's all now, just go down to-night aud see Fantasma aud be happy- - latter have almost wholly taken to rent-ing their establishments, and the plan has a wholesome tendency to bar out irresponsible enterprises at least. It h:is become a fashionable fad to see Russell's comedians in "Tho City Di-rectory." One night last week tho Duehes of Marlborough and a party of her friends occupied boxes at tho Bijou Theater, New York, and fairly shouted with laughter over tho many amusing scenes aurt incidents iu this funny mu-sical comedy. While so many ambitious actors are preparing to tempt fortune on the road as stars, William Redmund, who for the past four years has been starring with Mrs. Barry, lias come to tho conclusion that a steady salary is better' than per-centage of unsteady receipts. Mr. Red-mund has decided to accept engage-ments for leading parts next season. Last week Miss Kate Pursoll ap-peared at the Lyceum theatre in Brook-lyn in her equestrian drama "Queen of tho Plains," and created quite a pleas-urable excitement. Tho largo audi-ences were enthusiastic over her statues-qu- o ligure, handsome face and her dar-ing horsemanship. This actress has certainly replaced tho famous Ada Isaacs Menken. The Edwin Forrest Lodge, of tho Act-or's Order of Friendship of New York, is a thriving organization. It was formed in May last by thirty-eigh- t mem-bers of the pareut lodge iu Philadelphia who withdrew to start the new lodge. Among the original members of this so-ciety are such well-know- n stars as Ed-win Booth, Lawrence Barrett, and Stu-art Robson.' The order has a benevo-lent provision, by which members who are ill and out of funds are furnished with $10 a week during their sickness. Stuart Robson, Uhj Lamb of "The Henrietta," tells this story of his early life: "When I was in a high school the students got up a dinner which was presided over by a college professor who was supposed to preserve order. The butter served on this festive occa-sion was of the rankest kind. Tho pro-fessor happened to leave the banquet room for a few minutes. While he was out a dare-dev- student picked up the cake of butter in his hand and hurled it against the wall of the- - room, whero it suck fast. Tho professor upon return-ing discovered this and Was terribly shocked. He asked every student "AVho did that?" The guilty one was loth to answer. Finally, after much questioning, he replied: "Professor, I should think that butter was old and strong enough to speak for itself." The "Prof." was overcome, as were all the students, with laughter and stopped his investigation. Many incidents are told of tho late John McCullough, but it is doubtful if the following has ever been iii print : E. L. Walton was acting as stage man-ager of a company some years ago that was sent out by John Piper, of Virginia City. The play was "Richard III," and McCullough was "Richmond;" Bar-rett was "Richard." There was a great dearth of supers and the only article to obtained was a little fellow of the name of Butch, a sort of hanger-o- n about the theater. When tho forces of Richard went to tho front, Walton sent on Butch, who marched after his Lord (Barrett) in great style; the trtim- - iilil WORLD.

"Yes I am,' said Butch, for ho was all worked up and worried, and answered defiantly. "All right, come on and you and I will lick all Kngland." As the roar went up from that audience Walton skipped to the other side of the stage and tor the rest of the play kept out of McCul-lough'- s sight. James O'Neill has aj, last decided to put the well-wor- but very remunera-tive "Monte Cristo" aside, and tempt fortune in a new play. He has pur-chased from Henry Irving the right to play "The Dead Heart," and will give the first presentation in Chicago about the middle of May at Hooley's theater. It is in "LaPerichoIe" that Otl'enback so eleverlv takes off tho prison sceue in "Monte Cristo" the old prisoner wdio appears to.

When a few years ago they revived "Ruy Bias" in Paris, tho stilted character of it made a failure be-fore a modern audience. They are still talking of reviving "Dumas, theLlder, and in America he has still a popularity which makes it profitable to put his works on the stage. James O'Neill has for six seasons played " Monte Cristo without tiring his audience. He has grown a little tired of it himselt, how-ever and this will probably be the last season that he will play it. because lie has decided on an elaborate production of "The Dead Heart;" a scheme which is receiving emphatic encouragement from the newspapers everywhere. nili' of reformed robbers have Ml hy a Chicago museum man opra a safe on his stage two or imos a day. mil .Mrs. Edmund Russell, the :ms now in this country, are ''ugagciiieiits to return to Eng-"l- y next month. walli, the greatest of all jug-"'- i' in America, has undergone a operation which, in all proba-- " ill mar his professional future.

Three iMldenta from the l ife of a SUIlUul Famale Thief. From a curious source two or three in-cidents iu the life of ft professional thief may be set down bore. They might be termed confessions of a shoplifter. Stores in both Allegheny and Pittsburg have suffered by the depredations of a remarkably skillful thief ,w ho is awoman. She prides herself on her skill iu shop-lifting, and it is from her mouth that the following narrative originally came: Once she visited a large store iu Alle-gheny and asked to lie shown some ex-pensive cloaks. Tho goods were brought out and tho stylish looking shopper took off the jackot she wore and tried on a cloak. Sha was not entirely satisfied with it, she said, and the saleswoman who was waiting upon her went off to another part of the. store to get some more cloaks. This was the thief 's chance. She walked away, leaving her jacket as a token of her regard. On the stairs the cloak department was on tho second floor she met one of the owners of tho store. "Have you been waited upon?" he asked politely. "Yes, thank you, and I am very well satisfied with this cloak," sho replied, and sailed on. She escaped. Another" time she visited a shoe store in Pittsburg. Sho bad a small foot and was proud of it. It was no easy matter to please her, tho affable young salesman found. The stock of lino ladies' shoes was ransacked to suit her taste. It was all in vain, for sho departed without buying anything. Under her dress were two more shoes than a woman can wear, however. When sho looked at the stolen shoes after returning homo she found that they wero not mates. She was very much annoyed; in fact, the discovery took away her appetite for snper. The next afternoon found her in tho shoe store again. "The shoes you sold me the other day," she said to the sales-man, who was not the one who had tried to suit her fastidious taste the day before, "are not mates, and will you kindly change them?' The store was crowded shoplifters seldom venture into an empty store and the youug man hurried off at once with-out further inquiry. In another minute he returned with a pair of shoes proper-ly mated and gave them to the supposed customer. She did not stay to give thanks for tho gift. Once only did her confidence, some would call it impudence, desert her. She visited a store one morning with tho intention of appropriating some os-trich pluuiea As usual, sho was very particular about tho quality of the feath-ers; sho would look at nono costing less than $0 or $7 apiece. But although the beet feathers in tho store were brought out for her inspection, she found none that was long enough, heavy enough or black enough to suit her'. 8he apologized sweetly to the young woman behind the counter for the troublo she had given her, and promised to call again when the new consignment which, of course, was coming next week should arrive. As she was leaving the store she be-came aware that she had dropped some-thing, and she looked behind her. A flue ostrich feather lay on tho floor; it had slipped from under the cloak where the thief had concealed it, or to bo more precise, it liad not gone Into the deep pocket in the cloak specially designed for its reception. She hesitated for a second, loth to leave her prey, and yet afraid to stoop down and take it. Her assuranco was not great enougli to carry her through the second theft, and she left tho store. The feather was not noticed till sho bad gone. Pittsburg Dispatch. Aud It Is Not a Very Desirable Ono at That, But Ha Is in It. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SLEEP?

But are they furnished rooms? That is the question, ami it U a question (hat can be readily answered by those who have not been aecu-ttome- d to ramping out. 1 'Where can I get a good room a room that is comfortable; one that U really furnished w ith real furniture, one that has no other occupants with no allusion to the little Insect which has more of a claim on it than you have under tho homestead and laws anil a room that U H room which is surrounded by a sure enough building'?" If one hears the nboo question or a similar query oityn a day he or she lis-tens to it a down times before darkness prevails the city, and then you will be anked the Ha conundrum ut night. Still you are not done with it. You hcarof furnished rooms in your dreams. Of course you don't see them. That is the pleasant part of the nighlmare, and if you don't gel the nightmare, all that is necessary to get tho "old hiW out is to gi't iu a furnished room. It is a laborious and dilli-cult link to procure n sleeping upartment iu Salt Luke City unless one is driven to drink and gets in tho city Jail. tcrior of It made mo shudder. I never miw worse furniture in my lib. The kind lundlady volunteered the prion of the room, but when the door w opened and I got night of tho interior 1 was not particularly ulxnit knowing tho cott of rent. I wauled the room at no price. Hut nlm kindly told mo that I could occupy the apart-ment for a period of a moiilh by put-ting up t'J'i In advance. I fancied.

I was distulUfied with my quarters and made a futile at-tempt at getting a furnished room. I saw tigns everywhere, in blocks and private and I think I read them all carefully, but did not get the digest of their meaning until I inspected them and learned their exorbitant value.
