Miss Wilson, who for live years was a pupil of Jean ijeReszke. Paris, and who predicted a great career for In r. will not bo disappointed In his prophecy She lias a beautiful coloratura-soprano voice, sympathetic and of wide range, and In her English nnd Scotch songs she was particularly pleasing. Miss Wilson Wil-son has sung In public from early girlhood, girl-hood, but did not realize her latent talont in the undeveloped condition of her voice, and It wns during the first administration of Roosevelt that she was Induced by Mrs. Roosevelt to go to Paris to study. She did so, and took up music as a profession. This Is her first tour In concert. That she has a remarkable soprnna voice is the universal univer-sal opinion of those who have heard her In other cities and this sentiment Is voiced by those who heard her In Salt Lake. She responded to several encores and was the recipient of a magnificent bouquet of roses. Karl Klein, violinist, had the audience from the llrst by his splendid handling of his Instrument. He Is a son of Bruno Oscar Klein, and has made a tour with ( Calve. Ho was a favorite pupil or llelf I of Lelpsle and of Wilheltnt and Ysaye. Ills rendition of the Sarsata number was most exqulclle and brought him a merited mer-ited encore. The "Nocturne," which he played so splendidly, was from the pen of his father. The support rendered by Harold O. Smith as accompanist added to the pleasure pleas-ure of the evening. Plays come and go. Some arc revived, browse for a brief period on the stubblo of popularity, and then sink Into absolute oblivion. "In Old Kentucky" appeared In tho theatrical firmament, arose lo the zenith, and for many years It has remained re-mained there. 11 Is a racing play. This, together with that delightful hospltalily-radiatlng- southern atmosphere In which the plot Is set. Is undoubtedly the cause of Its perpetuation. "In Old Kentucky" appeared again fit the Salt Lake theater Monday night, and, although greeted by only a fair house, the dramatic situations, situa-tions, the drolleries of tho southern folk and the funny frolics of tho pickaninnies, brought forth many rounds of appreciative apprecia-tive applause. Tho characters are well chosen, the scenery is well done, nnd the colored band is Immense. Mildred Johnson, John-son, as Madge Brlerly. Is placed In many difficult situations and gets away with them In a most approved manner. Colonel Sandusky Doollltle, speculator and horseman. horse-man. Is ably portrayed by Burt G. Clark. Frank Dayton, as Frank Layson, handles his role In an arllsllc manner, he being possessed of an excellent voice Hint Is frequently called Into play to good advantage. advan-tage. Joseph Slaytor. as Horace Helton, the villain of the play; Duncan Penwar-den, Penwar-den, as Joo Lorey. a young moonshiner; and Barry Maxwell, as "Neil," all handle their roles with credit to themselves. "In Old Kentucky" will no doubt enjoy good houses during the remainder of tho engagement. Many people have seen the play before, but it Is a safe bet that all who patronize, the present production will enjoy the evening" given up to it. The play runs through Thursday evening even-ing wllh a matinee Wednesday.

Dazey wrote the play he lived near Benton Harbor, Mich. In that city resided re-sided Katie Putnam, the actress, who married Harry Emory of Salt Lake. Dazey took his production to Benton Harbor for Katie Putnam to read. She was pleased with it, and ho urged her lo take the play and produce It. She declined, de-clined, however, because In the rolo of Madge Brlerly she. would have to wear tights. Later Dazey had It produced by o liters. Its success was Instantaneous, and It has made several fortunes for Its author, as well ns for Its owners. Edwin Milton Royle's "The Squaw Man," with Wlllard Mack In the title role. Is the offering at the Grand theater all this week. Those who saw Mr. Mack last night as 13k squaw man never saw him to bettor advantage. Ife looked his old-time self, and tlie large audience fairly went wild as he made his llrst entrance. en-trance. It was a repetition of what he received Sunday night, and was nothing short of an ovation, it was generally agreed that Wlllard Mack himself never had a part more in keeping with his talents tal-ents tiiau Capta-ln James Wynngate, and later as .Hm Carston, known as the squaw mam.
