Show AMUSEMENTS. "Sh.D.udo.h." It was a typical Salt Lake audience that jci'oetod Hroosou Howard's "Shen-andoah" "Shen-andoah" last night largo, uot acutely discerning and fairly demonstrative. The "Shenandoah" presented last night was not the ".Shenandoah" anticipation promised it to be or even the ".Shenandoah" ".Shen-andoah" which has been witnessed in this cily before. The company is not so strong as the one which played at the (hand last season. In fact, there is a marked contrast between the ladies of this c.mipauy and the previous one. The male characters were well taken aud a lew of the old laces appeared in this company. Following is the cast of characters': (ien. Iiaverill 1 OiTlcei-. 1 F. Hnrbsrlc Col.

Haslem Jvaiiutlo Mar.ir, t Ho: l.isou The play of "Shenandoah" is filled with noble passion aud heroic deeds. It is a garden of loveraaking and brave action. It tires the blood aud makes the pulse beat quickly through every scene. The action is so spirited and the scenes so realistic that in the ardor of the moment the tinsol of the stage loses its caste and the actors become llesh and blood in the drama of life. Through the entire plot runs a Uolightful vein of pure humor with occasional flushes of I decided wit. Miss Netta Guion, the southern girl, has the buxom form of a southerner, without the grace and beauty. Herac-tion Herac-tion is too constrained and I he summer through hor blood seems more to be a delayed spring. Her words aro chopped chop-ped otf too much and her enunciation uot always distinct. Miss Mty H.uues. as Madaline West, reads her lines with the phlegmatic trend of a northern girl. Im her lines I aro cast in easy places aud her action is Hiitlii'ietitly clever to cutitln her to the distinction of tilling he part in a creditable manner. Miss Nanette Comstock, as tho soldiers sold-iers daughter, lost her opportunity iu tho third act to interpret her part to its, fullest scope. But sho regained tlio sympathies of tho audience in the last net iu her love scene with Captain Honrtsertsc. Miss Anna Robinson, as Mrs. General Haverill, is poorly cast. Her features and her notion and her voice are not adapted to the role she essavs. Her voice is decidedly weak pitched too high, and her action is neither easy or graceful. Mrs. Haverill, to insinuate herself into the affection of tho aud-incc, aud-incc, must be a woman of regal form, queer. ly grace, with a quiet, woll-mod-ulatod voice and an eye that looks love or hate at the command of tho lines. "Shenandoah" closes its engagement witha matineo this afternoon and tonight's to-night's performance. |
