Much coipmqru has been passed the pant week upon the small percentage leceived by the Elks from the patronage patron-age oL tho Midway This buslne comprises com-prises by far the largest part of the iccolpts of thpesk Considering the fact that the advertising and general support of Elks < to which the Midway owed its suucesy was contributed by the local lode it seemed that 2o I percent per-cent was a very trifling percentage for the Elks to revelve I I theatrical and amusement businessgenerally it is cus tomary for the local und to receive rom 30 tp 10 per > eeJiL t This is tine where IhcieMs far lespdom1 for the attraction at-traction by the homV mahu enfunt than was furnished JaboUr by the OSlktj According Ac-cording to cusioiiu tire Elks Khouid have i evolved about twice what they did from the money taken in by thc i labour side alious Of Course the djvi I lon way a matter of contract and no I fault n be found with Jabour for get I ting all he could ltN wcfa moreover not tho easiest matter inthe world lo secure attractions for tile street fair and wl ljhout the Jabour contingent the streets would have lookod pretty emp ty In addition to this Jabour did avery I a-very handsome thing In 1 acquiescing In I the postponment the carnival though In light of events he mado money by doing > o Had the carnival come ofC during the weulc of national mourning It would have been a dismal faIlure Manager Stoll of the carnival I deserves a wprld of praise for pulling of h13 enterprise with such success and though the percentage taken by the Elks may nothave been all that wa < deserved It was the best that could bp done under the circumstances t > It was iQiig ago determined that Salt Lakes vacuity to absorb amusements was unlmUed Otherwise there might have been soniQthlng astonishing In tho fact that the town hail filled both thea tern night after night while at the same time crowding Uireo or four blocklengths of street carnival It was a week of frolct ju a season when overy one Is overrun with work the people gladly forsooTt their pursuits for the abandon und merrymaking which t the Elks led One cannot estimate the good which comeyirom m such an af fair Asidefrom Die direct object of the carnival the raJBlngof funds for i buildlnthe gopdfellowahlp I cheer J J 11 and public sPil brought out by this I event will be felt In i a hundred different directions Then the relaxation from the strain and cares of business makes healthy nnd vigorous the whole body of people The Elks deserve unstinted praise for their success It was not this time tho story of one or two bearIng lt bear-Ing l the whole brunt Every wearer of the purple lent a ready hand As a result re-sult the Elks carnival of IDOl is a measuring rod for future occasions I tIIo A S An institution In Salt Lake which Is I developing and broadening its scope as t to bo a strong adjunct to the local L stage Is LnndrunVs School of Dramatic Art Starting in a modest way but inspired l by the loftiest ambitions the director of this institution has within I a few years built a school which Is one of a few in the Nation Though scarcely scarce-ly l known to tho general public It Sa i nevertheless a fact that scarcely a company comes to Salt Lake but one or more members utilize their spare hours in drilling at this school l Those who think the stage a gousyoupleasc hltormiss profession should go to the studios of Alfred Ayeros the thoepist t and elocutionist In New York during the summer and noto how many pi eminent em-inent players are there taking finishing touches in their art Another insight could be obtained by visiting the Lan drum school here and observing the artists ar-tists who were adding to grace poise j or flexibility by physical exercises Last week members ot three different I companies were to be found there atone at-one time During summer vacation yet more take advantage of the opportunity I opportu-nity coming here from various parts of the Union When dancers are wanted managers turn naturally to this source I for supply the only difficulty being that the director resents giving up his I pupil till their education is complete I
