Show ; ' ' ' r G f THE SALT LAKE jlMES: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1892, - i where it has been numberless times before. It apparently makes no difference how many times this attraction visits a city. It is always received with open arms and gets the best of treatment. Patti Roa is playing Dolly Varden aud Mis Dixie this season. The Bostonians will day a long engage-ment in New York this season. Those who have read Richard Henry Sav-age's novel, "My Official Wife," will expect to see a play of absorbing interest when Gunter's dramatization of this book is pre-sented in this city. Minnie Seligman is to be the star. Corinne is being appreciated as much as ever, and the Kimball Opera company is do-ing a fine business. The absence of the baritone who abuses chorm girls is everywhere regarded as an improvement. "Ali Baba" is generally announced by those who have been to see it during its rua at the Chicago opera house to be the most magnificent spectacular production that has ever been put on the stage. We shall have a chance to see it in the near future, and with memories of "Sinbad" in mind it is as-sured of a greeting befitting its splendor. "A Had Bargain," with James T. Powers as star and Peter F. Daly as second lumin-ary will be seen in this city before long. Gustavo Frohman has closed his New York theatrical exchange, and will devote himself entirely to the management of his wife, Marie Hubart Frohin&u. "Niobe" is being presented by the Abbott & Teal company, on the coast, to excellent busiueea. Manager T. Henry French is building a new theater costing $7.0,0i)0, which will be known as the American theater, and next .May has been tixed upon for its opening with "The Land of Gold" as its initial attrac-tion. It will cost $25,000 to stage it, and Charlotte Tittell will piay the leading role. Synopsis of "Niobe." Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12. matinee Saturday. A statue of "Niobe" be-longing to an art enthusiast, Tompkins, and which he believes to be tha veritable pctre-- , faction of the one time wife of Amphion, and queen of Thebes, is insured by him in a Company of which thu president is one Peter Amos Dunn, who for better safe keep- - ' ing removes the marble goddess to his homo. Electric lights have just been put in the bouse, and the wires crossing the feet of the statue, the current brings "Niobe" to ' life, much to the astonishment of Peter Amos Dunn. ITis family is at the theater, and he is at a loss to explain the presence of this beautiful creature oa their return. But he remembers that a gov-erness, who has sent her trunks in advance, is expected in a day or two, and he hits upon the idea of dressing up Niobe as the gov-erness and introducing her as such. Here the complications begin. Niobe, who is "ail tears." breaks down and weeps upon the breast of Peter Amos, whom she calls on the slightest provocation, and the discovery of her in that position awakes the jealousy of his wife, who is egged on by her tart old sister, Helen GriCin, who is the head of the householJ. Much is made of the humor to be drawn from the contrast of the manners and customs of 3000 years ago and now. Every effort of Petramos to get himself out of the original prevarications puts him further in the mire, and after a series of varied complications he tells the That Mr. Hicks has made an impression in our city, as well as many friends, is evi-denced by the hospitality shown him during his short stay here. A scries of lectures will be given at the theater Sunday evenings, during the coming month, upon American statesmen and gen-erals, dolivered by local talent. November 20th the initiative lecture will be "Patrick Henry," and tha Hon. W. II. King the speaker. r- A banjo club which bids fair to increase Utah's renown for possessing excellent mus-ical talent, was organized Wednesday even-ing and is composed of the following ladies a.iu gentlemen, well known to society and as musicians of no mean calibre: The Misses Harkness and Louise Anderson and Messrs. George Downey and Sam Park as banjoists, and Miss Edith Shearman and Harry Lyman as guitarists. A tutor will be eniraared, and a all the members are musi-cians the club will doubtless be heard at the musicalus and social gatherings of our four hundred this winter. The Tabernacle choir held its usual re-hearsal Thursday evening and among its guests were the Eagle quartette, which gave an udmirable rendition of the "Palms." That thi3 music was appreciated was evi-denced by the applause the selections elic-ited from "the members of this already world truth at last, and t'ae art enthusiast is glad to take back the living Niobe in place of the statue. With this main story is interwoven that of the governess whom Niobe repre-sents, and who comes to claim from Corne-lius GrifHn the love letters of her sister. Cornelius mistakes Niobe for Madalico Mif-to-the governess, acd hence a new set of complications, reaching a climax when tliss Mif ton really appears. The Congregational church choir wiil render Schuocker'sTe Deum "Lau Dsmus" at the services tomorrow morning. A duut, "In the Cross Of Christ I Glory," wiii be sung by Dr. Bjomsen and W. H." Whit-ns- y. The "Stowaway" opened to a large audi-ence last eveniug which was very enthusi-astic in its applause, especially iu the gal-leries. The yacht scene, the burglars at work and the many melo-dramati- c effects were warmly received. There was a special matinee today and the - Py ges again tonight. j W.JW . Tillotson, general manager of the "Niobe" company, arrived in the city yes-terday, and spent today looking after the business of his successful company. He leaves tomorrow for the East. laraous cuo'.r. A brass band concert is among the latest news circulating amons the gossip-mon-rer- s. With the uniun composed of our best musicians, it certainly couid be undcrtakeu and carried out successfully. Talent reigns iu abundance, and, composed as they would he of loc.il musiciaus, the concert would un-doubtedly receive the patronage of our public-sp-irited citizens. Let the concert be given, by all means. Heber S. Godard is not at all smitten with Gotham, and if rumors are true his return to our city may be looked for. Miss Viola Pratt is progressing admirably, accordingjtothe latest accounts, iu New York city. Director Sousa played as one of the attrac-tions in the opening concert at the Audi-torium "The Belle of Chicago," his latest composition, which is highly praised by Chicago's musical critics. Mr. Marvale de Sperati, a young Italian tenor, has arrived iu New York. The special claims to his ability that will demaud con-sideration is that he sings high F. James M. Hill is now in possession of the The reason is now apparent for his rate in our city. A millionaire brewer is said to be backing Margaret Mather's present tour. "The Sportsman,"a three-ac- t comedy by the author of "Jane," fas produced by the Froh-man comedians at Boston the past week and scored an immediate success. The comedy is said to bo a whirlwind of fun. ? ' " ' Manager Russell is quoted as saying that "A Society Fad" wlli even be a greater suc-cess than "A City Directory." The costumes and armors for Alexander Salvini's production of "The Heir of Grani-mont- " are being prepared in Paris. The "Friends" company performed in Syracuse aud Rochester the past week with standing room sold each night previous to the rise of the curtain.

I., is now on the road with Gilmore'a band of 100 musicians as conductor. The Potter-Belle- company has abandoned Casino. Jean de Reszke, the famous tenor, has not lost his voice, as reported.

The - words are by Ber-nard O'Donnell, set to an arrangement of Guoaod's "Gallia." "Miss Helyett," the famous operatic com-edy, is at the Baldwin in Frisco, and with Margaret Mather at the Bush, E. J. Henley and Aubrey Boucicault at Stockwell's, and SalvinI atlbo California, "that city is cer-tainly having assortment and variety enough to gratify the veriest of tyros. The Press club of Frisco received a benefit from thj various theatrical companies and their members, which netted it over $3000. We hope the day may not be distant when our Press club may be the recipient of a similar favor. The "Still Alarm" is being presented in Portland this week and is recording a good impression. Joseph Jefferson closed an extremely suc-cessful New York engagement last Saturday night. He presented "Rip Van Winkle" and the engagement was a series of ovations. Lizzie Ingles of the "Skipped by the Light of the Moon" company, is gaining quite a reputation as a song writer.. Raymond Shaw, the famous counter tenor, has made quite a hit with her song, "Mother's Mir-ror." So genuinely comical is everything about "Niobe", the conceit on which the piece is constructed, the situations and the lines that it would probably have proved a laugh-- i ing piece even in the hands of a company of mediocre ability. That it has proved to be : the greatest of laughing successes in the i hands of the clever artists to whom the ' parts are given is not, therefore, to be won-- dcred at. All the talent in the cast of last ' Reason, including Miss Isabella Coe as .. Niobe, has been retained by the for manager this season.

Dr. Utter's church tomorrow morning. I 1 Mrs. J. W. Pickard, jr., is the soloist at St. j Paul's and Miss Druehl is organist The ! young lady tills the position creditably. There is some talk of organizing a quar- - tette composed entirely of ladies. Let it be done. Better music was never listened to than that of such a quartette. a repertoire and will appear solely in "Ther- - ese." r Mr. Greene's comic opera, "The Maid of Plymouth," is to be produced by the Bos-tonia-iu January, after the presentation of DeKoven and Smith's "Knickerbockers."

Keene was crowned one night with a solid silver laurel wreath, inscribed: "To the greatest Richard, from the citizens of Cincinnati." The O'd Homestead" has just played a long and successful engagement in Boston, The most notable event of the week was the establishment of a Musicians' union. In glancing over the names of the gentlemen elected to fulfil the various official duties,we doubt whether they could be improved upon, and the organization will have a tendency to elevate the musical fraternity to a sphere of equality with other artists. The Times sin-cerely wishes that the aims and objects of the union may be attained, and all the here-tofore existing animosities obliterated. A meeting will be held tomorrow for perfect-ing this organization, and Ogden has agreed to bend a delegate. The voicing of the Congregational church organ will be completed in a few days. Its dedication is anxiously awaited. . . Will Penhallgon and Alf.
