Grand Uncle Toms Cabin Monday Mon-day Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee Remember the Maine Thursday Friday and Saturday i Sat-urday nights Under ordinary conditions of theatergoing theater-going The Bostonians have had no difficulty in crowding the Salt Lake Theater to Its capacity for four or live performances each season Indeed In-deed tho scramble for seats even where the engagement has run to six a performances has been such as to leavo a large quantity of eager applicants un provided for What then must be the situation In a season when good attractions at-tractions have beon decimated can well be understood It Is like putting a plo before hungry boy and telling him he can have a bite Parrotlike one might repeat that the BostonIans are old I favorites In Salt Lake and out of Suit Lake for that matter No other company com-pany presents so many popular singers i Among the famous artists whom I I music lovers delight to honor are Henry Clay Barnaboc w II MacDonald Mac-Donald Helen Bertram Marcia Van I Dresser George Frothingham Frank Hush worth John Dunsmore W H Fitzgerald Joseph Bartlett Grace Cameron Frederick Knights Charles 11 Hawley Edith Ilendoe and others supported by the usual effective chorus and orchestra under the direction of S L Studley As Indicated in the list several young singers have been added I to the force of this company and from i all accounts their youth beauty and i talent will make a most favorable impression I Im-pression Interest is naturally centered i cen-tered in The Smugglers of Badayez which will be heard hero Monday night for the first time It Is I the Joint composition com-position of Giacomo Mlnkowsky and Frederick Rankin and has been especially espe-cially written for this company AH thC opera has been produced with enthusiasm en-thusiasm In other cities and If all accounts ac-counts be credited It will no doubt have the same warm reception here As suggested by Its title the story deals with the adventures of a band of smugglers and Is comic in treatment I This element Is said to be largely in evidence and Is furnished by Mr Bar nabee Mr MacDonald Mr Frothing ham Mr Fitzgerald and Miss Bartlett The complications grow out of the arrest ar-rest of an old parvenu who is arrested on the eve of his wedding through a mistake growing out of his resemblance resem-blance to a smuggler The

dancing girl sleuth Hendee Estavan Margaret Stuart The Serenade will bo given Tuesday Tues-day night and Robin Hood on Tues day afternoon Both those operas are familiar to the tnwn through past renditions ren-ditions Robin Flood being almost as well known as Uncle Toms Cabin to the country at large Tho Grand changes to the routine order of things this wiok presenting for the ilrst three nights Uncle Toms Cabin and for the last three Remember Remem-ber the Maine Uncle Toms Cabin like the flowers that bloom In the spring comes perennially to rejolco humanity hu-manity The probability Is I that for the next hundred yoars Uncle Toms Little E vas and Old Murkscs and Simon agrees a-grees will be with us There is nothing that quite lakes the place of Uncle I Tom especially for the I little ones It IK a matter of record that an Uncle Toms Cabin show never yet went to any less than a packed house In Salt Lake City It makes no difference whether any announcements are mad or not or what kind of an Uncle Toms Cabin show It is I the audience sprlngr up as If bj magic to soc the performance perform-ance A couple of years ago the t3alt Lake Theater refused admission to an Uncle Toms Cabin chow feeling it did not comport with the dignity of the house After a good deal of argument I the show manager finally succeeded in renting the house outright paying avery a-very handsome figure for the privilege To the astonishment of Manager Burton Bur-ton more money wag taken at the box office that night than had been er1 In I me Mouse on any night for months The I particular Uncle Toms Cabin show I which comes to the Grand this lime I bears the label of II Dobbins Brothers I A variation Is given to the regular performance 1 per-formance by a colored Jubilee quartette quar-tette and a lot of burkandvlng dancers danc-ers There will be the regular grand noonday parade which the advance agent features as an Inspiring pageant pa-geant the glittering chariot floats and the handsomelyuniformed bands From the promises one is led to anticipate i I ticipate a much more elaborate production pro-duction than has been seen here for some years Following Uncle Toms Cabin the Grand presents one of the less hackneyed hack-neyed and more modern dramas being the Lincoln J Carter company In Remember Re-member the Maine Lincoln J Carters Car-ters memory has become so firmly rooted In the minds of theatergoers that it is not less well known than that of Uncle Tom or Little Eva Mr Carter Car-ter claims Salt Lake as the home of his birth FO that people should thrill with a patriotic fervor over his sensational melodramas and exuberant sentiments Exciting climaxes powerful speeches I and wonderful mechanical effects are elements common to all Mr Carters plays In fact one could write an advance ad-vance notice oC any one of Mr Carters I dozen spectacular productions and apply ap-ply it with equal felicity to any of the others Not only does Mr Carter give us In Remember the Maine a few I realistic doses of the great catastrophy at Havana but draws a pen picture of Dcxveys victory at Manila V 4 f Following the Bostonians at the Theater The-ater comes Nance ONeil a gifted young comedienne whose work has attracted at-tracted an extraordinary amount of comment Nearly every manager who had returned from the coast during the past year has had more or loss to say of this wonderful actress While she I does not appear to have the finish that comes from long experience and careful 1 training slit possesses an amount of natural force and Individuality tot stamp to-t her as an exceptional product In addition to this she has the gift of magnetism which only comes to n few great artists During the past two years she hns appeared successfully as Magda Pam then ia Leah Nancy Sykes I Peg Woflington Lady Teazle Meg Mer rlllcs and Camille Bcrnhardts new version Robert Towne agent of the Internal Revenue department who has heen in Suit Lake for a number of days on special spe-cial I work was asked the other day as to the effect of the war revenue law upon the playhouses He said that it came nearer being a failure applied to this line of work than any of the features fea-tures covered by the whole revenue bill So unsuccessful had been the effort of the department to collect from shows that ho bellewd that the theatrical tuxes of the hill would be amended at the coming session of Congress The amount collected from the managers of entertainments was smaller in proportion propor-tion than that from any other direction direc-tion In the first place saltl Mr I Townc It Is very difficult to locate + how s as they are Juihplng from place to place and one can seldom put his linger on a traveling organization before be-fore It Is out of the country Then again there has been a general disposition dispo-sition on the part of the fraternity I to evade the payment of taxes Recently in California so prominent an actor as McKee Rankin successfully dodged the I payment of the war tax from week to week Until ho was finally caught during dur-ing a long engagement III San Francisco Francis-co Here he successfully stood off the collector until a complaint was made and plriccd in the hands of tho United States Marshal to make an arrest Then as tin excuse for having not met tho tax Mr Rankin pleaded that he had played six or seven States without paying any tax whatever So Incensed was the Judge at this voluntary show iiitr that he put not only a heavy pen arty upon Mr Rankin for infraction of the law but required him to pay tho taxes for all the Stales in which according ac-cording to his own story he had paid no taxes Instead of managers calling at tho revenue offices to pay their taxes as is by law required it has required a large number of collectors throughout through-out the country to reach even the few who have met their dues In the profession pro-fession at large there Is a general feeling feel-ing that the application of the war revenue law to this branch of art Is an unjust and Inequitable one As well argues the actor might the painter or poet be tailed upon to pay taxes upon his productions as the theatrical artist to pay upon his STAGE CHOWCHOW Ernest Hogan who vas here before with the Black Pattl combination Is now In New Zealand MONo I MO-No has given more satisfaction sat-isfaction to the attendants of the I Grand
