It is said ono group of tho chorus wear gowus of Irish point lace which needs only ono glance to assure of its costliness. costli-ness.

Ho has natural I3- desired to. introduce variety into his artistic experience- and to continue tho policy of giving his patrons something now each year. Ho lias, therefore, selected for this season's sea-son's offering tho splendid American comedy, "Tho American Lord," by Gcorgo H. Broadhurst and Charles T. Dazcy, two names known to almost cverj' playgoer, and whose successful plays every manager is anxious to obtain. ob-tain. The play is not an untried work, but was placed in the hands of "William H. Crane for a demonstration of its qualities, with rcsulU which left no doubt of its powerful popular appeal. The part of John Brewster in this play affords Mr, Uanford ample opportunity to further demonstrate his nbility as a comedian, which ho has so ably provon in such parts as Petruehio. Benedick and Autolycus. Tho production will display tho samo attention to detail that lias characterized all the Hanford productions. 4 Tho time of Mr. Hanford 's presentation presenta-tion of "Tho American Lord" at tho Salt Lake theater is March 28, 20 and 30.

The diver is Miss Sere Nord, and tho audience is held almost breathless by tho clover and darinjr work of Sere Nord, the most noted diver of Kn gland, if not of the world. Miss Nord shows every dive that has been dono by othor famous divers, in addition to which sho has a number that aro cn- tirelj' her own. The hugo lank is not transparent, but by a simplo arrangement arrange-ment of largo mirrors every movement of tho young woman can bo plainly seen by tho audience.

Now music Jby the Mission orchestra and new moving pictures pic-tures will go to make up what is promised as tho best bill which tho popular Third South street houso has yet offered. The Bungalow Stock company will bo seen this week in the .brilliant comedy-drama comedy-drama "Divorcons," written by tho celebrated French playwright, Victonen Sardou, tho American adaptation being mado by James Slovin. Tlio play served Miss Grace Goorgo as a starring vehicle for two vears and in it she won, perhaps, per-haps, hor greatest triumph. It tells tho story of a young wife, Cypricnno Des Pmnellcs, who, discontented with her unromantic husband, whiles away her time, innocently, of course, with a .iuvenile fop of a cousin. Her hus"band is indignant, threatens to kill the cousin and piinish his wife, but on second thought, decides to pretend that ho shares his wife's discontent in their present relations, sends for tho cousin and delivors Cypricnno over to him. Finding thcro is no longer any necessity neces-sity for mystery and concealment, the' los'o interest in each othor and sho begins be-gins to ronlizo tho deficiencies of her admirer. Tho husband foigns indifference, indiffer-ence, which arouses tho wife's latent lovo and jealous-. She persuades him to take her to a fashionable cafo for a L'arowcll dinner, or as Des Prunclles terms it, "Tho Divorco Dinner." They, however, arc followed and very much disturbed by the disappointed cousin, and in tho end, Des Prunelles having succeeded in making the young lover appear thoroughly ridiculous in Cypricnno Cypri-cnno 'a eyes', a lasting reconciliation follows. fol-lows. Miss Maude Leone, tho Bungalow's clover leading woman, will have tho opportunity op-portunity of her lifo as Cyprienne, and an unusualry agreeable performance tc plele with personal charm is assured. The part of Henri Des Prunelles will givo xJocl Travors, ono of tho new members mem-bers of the company, an opportunit to show his ability. In this part, ho has a chauco for some rare comedy work. Elmer Booth will bo assigned to tho role of tho cousin, while Mr. Kennedy will bo the funny French waitor which is one of the comedy bits of tho show. Frod Moore will be seen as Monsieur Glevigriac, tho friend of Des Pmnellcs. The other members of the company aro all well cast. Tho play will run all the week with matinees Wednesday aud Saturday. 1 In "The Ensign," which is to bo tho offering of Theodore Lorch and company at the Grand alMhis week, beginning be-ginning with a matinee today, doals in history in its every dot-ail, with such mon as Lincoln, Farragut, Wilkes and others of tho prominent navy and army of ficers. Tho scenes aro Jaid on board the battleship San Jacinto, which lies anchored in a Cuban harbor. In tho second act a naval ball is given. Tho third act is laid aboard tho warship in mid-ocean; tho fourth act shows President Presi-dent Lincoln's room in tho "Whito Houso. Every part of this great drama is founded on facts w.hich constitute a part of Uuited States history. Two Englishmen had been sont ovor to try and interest the south in behalf of' the British government. Secretary of State Gideon Wells, hoarlng of this, tries to effect their capture. The nainos of theso men were Mason and Slidel. In the Cuban harbor -was an English man-of-war. The officers on board this ship woro awnro of the mission of Mason and Slidel, and for thnt reason offered them every protection possible and thought if llioy could get them aboard the English man-of-war they could steam' away and bo safe. At tho name time Ensign Baird was exerting overy effort to effect Mason and Slidel's capture. cap-ture. The English officers, knowing . this, thought to provoko a quarrel on tho streets of Havana with tho ensign, get him arrested and detained, and thereby give Mason and Slidel overy opijof-limit opijof-limit y to make their csenpo on the battleship. bat-tleship. Every method w.ih used by the English officers to provoke a quarrel, quar-rel, but nothing eecmcd to have the desired cA'oet until tho English officer took tho Slurs and Stripes, threw them down in the mud and proceeded to trample them. This was more than Ensign Baird could endure, and in his anger ho killed the Englishman nnd made his escape to tho ship San .fa-cinlo .fa-cinlo that was lying in the harbor. Ensign Baird was taken before his superior officers and .courtmartialed and sentenced to be hung. In ono of his answers as to whv he had killed the Englishman ho said: "I stood all of his insults, but when he took my country 's flag, throw it down aud trampled on it T could stand it no longer, and I. killed him. "What would you have done?" The third act shows President Lincoln's Lin-coln's room in the White Mouse. The President is out. of town, but Secretary Secre-tary Wells is besieged with cnllors, all asking for a pardon for the condemned con-demned man. Perhaps the mo.st pathetic incident of all is when the little daughter of Admiral Wilkes of the San Jacinto pleads with Secretary Wells ior the condemned. He tolls her that tho president presi-dent is out of town nnd that, ho is helpless help-less to aid in any way. At this moment mo-ment President Lincoln enters unnoticed. unno-ticed. He savs not a word, but sits and listens to the tiny voice as ho pleads for tho lifo whom sho has learned to love in her childish way. President Lincoln quickly takes pen aud paper, writes tho pardon, sends it by special courier, as ho knows that only moments await the condemned be- VILMOS VE STONY.

The pardon arrives just at the last moment; mo-ment; tho condemned is on tho scaffold and all is in readiness for the execution execu-tion to proceed, when the courier dashes in viow, waving wildly the documents that save tho lifo of a man, who had protected his country's ilag. Tho entire production has bce.n staged under the personal direction of George L. Graves, who is known to be a painstaking pains-taking man in presenting all his productions. pro-ductions. The piece will bo clothed in now and special scenery throughout, and a treat is surely in store for patrons of the Grand. "With tho same painstaking care which has characterized tho selections of the Luna theater programmes in tho past, tho next week's bill has boon prepared, and promises to eclipse an3'thing which has been shown at this picturo house for weeks. "The Thread of Destiny," an excellent biograph story of the old southwest, is the headliner, nnd will no doubt prove extraordinarily interesting, interest-ing, as thcro is a fascination in scenes of a Latin-American type. Manager Florence has selected the programme for the Elite theater with exceptional caTc, and in every respect, tho offering this week promises to surpass sur-pass even the excellent bill just closed. Two )rpnounced feature subjects are included, in-cluded, both of which co'mo from tho studios of two of the most popular film manufacturers in tho world, the Biograph Bio-graph company and the Sclig Polyscope company. Tho biograph film. "The Kcdman's View," a story of tho American Amer-ican aborigines, is tho headliner. eThore is something about a well-balanced programme which draws exceptionally excep-tionally well, and the selections made for the Tsis thcator this week certainly make up a bill, some part of which will especially appeal to each 'patron. The headliner is a biograph dramatic production. pro-duction.
