Show j REVIEW OF MUSIC AND- THE DRAMA Tho greatest dramatic event of 1904 in Salt Lake was the engagement of the famous daughter of Utah. Maudo Adams. That tt Afforded Miss Adams as well as the people of her native city rare pleasure is shown by the following, follow-ing, recently printed In the Chicago Record-Herald: "Miss Adams is still talking about the reception given to her In the city of her nativity, the recollection of which will always be a lasting delight. Gov. He-ber He-ber M. Wells of Utah, who had been one of her schoolmates, conferred upon her an unusual honor tho freedom of the State, with the keys to the capltol building. Salt Like City Itself showed er a Blmllar mark of favor, and the greeting given to her In tho theater was bo enthusiastic that she could not ro-etraln ro-etraln her tears. A group of childhood friends later gave her a silver loving cup, the presentation Bpeech being made by Gov. Wells. With the memory of this 6plcndld trlbuto Btill fresh In her heart. Mlsa Adams Is playing her farewell performances of 'The Lltllo Minister' with even more delicate charm than first established her reputation." repu-tation." Other notable engagements marked the amusement year, Including those of Richard Mansfield. Mrs Flsk. "Ben Hue," E. H. Sothern, Mrs. Carter, Blanche Walsh. Blanche Bates, Kyrle Bellow and Henry Miller, to say nothing noth-ing of the appearance of that well-known well-known Thespian, James Jeffries. "The past year,'' said Manager Pyper of the Salt Lake theater, speaking of theatrical conditions hero, "has not been one that would entice Investors Into the theatrical business, in fact the theatrical business Is a great game of chance and this has been a losing year. I do not desire to complain, because I have the best of feeling for" the theatrical theatri-cal public and we have to take our chances on what comes. The buslnes9 has been uncertain. At times when we , have had reason to expect good business busi-ness It was very disappointing, and at other times when we anticipated a 'slump' the business has been good. I think that after the holidays business will be more certain than at present. Ever since the Chicago fire there has been nervousness about the theaters In every locality. Much money has been lost and a great deal has been I'xpemk-d on account of the measures taken by the municipalities to protect the theater-going public. On our own volition we have expended a lot of money at the theater, and the aggravating part of it Is that the public cannot see where It has heen spent. Wo have Just had finished fin-ished a line of improvements at the theater which have cost us in the neighborhood of $20,000, and they include in-clude the change of our heating apparatus, ap-paratus, the entire overhauling of tho stage radiators, a system of rewiring the house, fire proofing the proscenium, asbestos curtains, the Inclining of aisles, the building of stairways, widening widen-ing of exits, changing tho seating arrangements ar-rangements of galleries, building new dressing-rooms, property-room and supers-room, and finally we have Just Installed In-stalled a new switchboard which has I been built by C. P. Madsen, ami which can produce any effect desired by traveling trav-eling companies. All these Improvements Improve-ments have been made and many of them cannot be seen by the public, but B have been for their protection and safe-H safe-H ty. The next expenditure of money we hope to be made on interior decorations and for the immediate comfort of our patrons and for the delight of the eye. I cannot say how soon these decora-tlons decora-tlons will be made, but this Improve-I Improve-I ' ment is the next order of business.
