Isabel Archer, w ho was married some time since to Harry Davenport aud achieved jjreat popularity last season as a member of the (irismer-lMvis company, com-pany, is said lo bo at death's door in Xew York. The malady rvit b which she i attacked is consumption. Her husband is also ill. Mr. and Mrs. Davenport are members of llarrigans company and were appearingin "Keillv anil the Four Huudred" Hp to the time of their illness. Henry Irving has been elected a member of the Marlborough club, one of the most exclusive in Logdon. Ho was proposed by the Prince of Wales in person. In England they evidently consider actors gentlemen. It is now definitely announced that Mrs. Leslie Carter closed her season in Kansas Cily. Alleged cause, nervous prostration, brought on by being stared at by coarse, rude men upon the street and elsewhere. Real cause, terrible shritiKage in the box ofiiee receipts aud the Ralasco pocket. Mrs. James lirown Potter now styles herself Cora Uripiart Potter. In bailing Robert McNeil, an aotor charged with murder in New York last week, Edwin Rooth admitted to being worth over $200, (KM). The week in amusements was started by Miller Brothers' alleged great Paris-Ian Paris-Ian spectacle "Kajanka," which is an utr-haitd conglomeration of spectacular, exaggerated serin -comic mediocrity, aud meagerly developed and not excessively ex-cessively beautiful chorus gills. Resides Re-sides its transformation scenes there is little to commend in "Kujanka." The stage settings are good, but are very closely reproduced from Ilanlon's "Fatitusmn." The caste is only moderate mod-erate except in looks. There is the only strong po;nt. in the personnel of the company. Such a wanton luxury of homliness never before paraded iu the glare of footlights to a Salt Lake audience, aud doubtless never will again unless Pluto's realms give up its grist. There is a wilderness of plot in "Ka-janka" "Ka-janka" that .would startle the soul of a native son of the desert. Of course plot is the last thing thought of in spectacular productions Hut the discriminating dis-criminating author should once iu a while insert an idea into his work. It ' t-niight act as a wedge and allow tho I audience a hurried glimpse of Ihe plot ay ''L makes its escape through the a ',(lo(ili. dood audience.' witneised "Kajanka" Monday and Tuesday evenings. Rut Wednesday night tho array of empty galleries and vacant chairs that greeted the rising of the curtain almost hid what few people there were front sight. HOME DRAMATIC ( I.l II. The opening performance of the Home Dramatic company was not largely attended owing to the counter attraction of the Tabernacle choir concert con-cert at the Tabernacle. "A Messenger From Jarvis Section" has considerable dash and vim to it. and there is neter (lanper of an audience suffering from ' somnolence during its production. Tho fact that only one week's time was allowed al-lowed the Home Dramatic club by a force of erralin circumstances for its production of "A Messenger From Jarvis Section" is a glowing tribute to the excellence of this meritorious organization. The characters throughout through-out were well sustained, and to elaborate elabor-ate upou the merits of each of the performers per-formers would be sheer waste of lime. I'.y far better is it to say that "A Messenger From Jatvis Section" stands well alongside Ihe other productions of the club. "A Messenger From Jarvis Section" holds tho boards tonight and Monday aud Tuesday nights of uext w eek. THE TAIiKRN AC I.E CHOI It. The vast auditorium of the tabernacle taber-nacle was not tilled last night although live thousand people were present. The concert was up to the standard raised in the past by the choir and the applause which greeted the great choir of three hundred and fifty voices was liberal aud inspiring. Conductor Stephens added new laurels to his already large collection. Tho receipts of the evening were between I'.'O'H) and S-:ioo(i. WONDERLAND AND lil.IOIT THEATOKII M. If popularity is an index to success then Wonderland may certainly assert its claim lo being the most successful and popular place of continuous amusement amuse-ment in the city. The crowds that have thronged its curio hall and bijou theatorium have never flagged. The reason is apparent. Tho features are commendable interesting;, instructive and amusing. The week beginning April 0 promises to be studded with brilliant successes. I.aSalle, rpieen of the sea, Fmma Schiller, Schil-ler, the wonderful freak of capricious nature called the ossified woman. Captain Cap-tain Reach, the pearl diver of Ceylon, and many neat and attractive features, new and novel, are sure to increase Wonderland's growing popularity This is the last week of the Khinehart family in their original creation, "The Irish "(Inverness. " This family has won a warm place in the allectiou of the attendants at Wonderland, by their merit and pleasing rendition of popular melodies and ballads of the day. Especially Es-pecially is this true of Mrs. Bertha Rninehart as the pretty and charming Bertha Wallace in "The Irish ( ioverness." Taken all in all there is a profound depth of meaning and significance in the designation desig-nation of Salt Lake's popular plaoe of tmuscment Wonderland.

This year it is bigger big-ger and better than ever, carrying ten more people than usual, besides its own orchestra. An Inil.an Theater Party. Tress Agent Will Shade, of W. S. Cleveland's minsirel enterprises, writes lo Music ami Drama an account of a swell theater party which recently attended at-tended a performance of Cleveland's Consolidated minsirels at the Grand Opera house. Chicago. The party consisted of Sioux warriors, returning return-ing to Fine Ridge agency after a Visit to the great father at Washington, Wash-ington, and was in charge of Lieutenant Lieu-tenant Maxwell, V. S. A. 'They occupied' occu-pied' two lower left-hand boxes, aud tvith the minstrels divided tho attention id the uudieuee.
