Thursday nlghl there were two big houses to witness wit-ness what is one of the best bills that has ever been put on in that popular place of amusement. From beginning to end the "show" is good, but probably the most aitractlvo turn is that done by "Nord." tho diving beauty. The lady Is billed as having "tho most beautiful figure in Iho world." and if thero over was a living personification personi-fication of the Ideal water nymph she is Hint graceful, breathing creature. She dives in many fashions Into a big lank of water, behind which is a great mirror mir-ror so placed thai the audience Is able to see tho surface of tho wulcr, as well as to observe the action of "Nord," as she sports In lLs limpid depths. It Is a nire novelty and worth while witnessing. witness-ing. Then there arc tho four dancing belles, jll pretty and graceful and niblo as clfs. One of them Is a sweet singer, too. and (heir act Is highly appreciated during every minute. "The Girl of the Times" is played by J. C. Tremayno and company. com-pany. It represents an ambitious newspaper news-paper girl committing a "burglar" act in order to get material for a story. She Is caught by Iho householder, and during dur-ing the talk between the two some ludicrous ludi-crous situations arise, the outcomo being that the girl escapes and the householder himself gets into the hands of tho police. Frank Marckley is really a wonder on the banjo, and It is impossible lo appreciate his genius to the full without hearing him play. The four Mclanis form a good quartette, their singing being far above the average. Tho bill goes for one week. Tonight the much talked of and widely wide-ly advertised operatic concert by Miss Maggie Tout and company will be given at tho Salt Lake theater. Tho Indications arc that there will be a large turnout of the music-loving public. Since Miss Tout's return from Paris and London last month she has appeared In a number of concerts nnd received tho highest encomiums en-comiums from the press. The Knnsas C ity Star, speaking of the concert given in Kansas City on February 1C, says: "It was a muslcalc of high order, eclipsing anything of the kind given here." Mr. E. F. 'lout, father or Miss Tout, attended the regular rehearsal of the Tabernacle choir Thursday nlghl and favored fa-vored the members with a- beautiful sacred sa-cred tenor solo. In response to tho hearty applause which greeted his effort ho gavo a short talk, in which he said be hoped that the project to send tho choir to "Wales in 1011 would beet with success. He further said that IL would prove a great advertisement for Salt Lake City and I'tah. He predicted a royal reception for the singers in Great Britain and prom-! Ised to aid them upon his return to London Lon-don next montli. Mr. Tout's remarks evoked rounds of applause. The sale of scats Is progressing rapidly for tho engagement of "The Great Divide," Di-vide," which plays at the Colonial nil next week. Tho superb production Is given under the direction of Henry Miller and will be presented Ty an unusually well-balanced company of players, precisely pre-cisely ns It was seen for over 500 performances per-formances in New York two seasons ago. Theodore Loreh, in I he role of Ensign Balrd of the United States frigate San Jacinto Is proving very popular with Ihe Grand theater patrons. Mr Lorch Is at his best in this ioIo and his many friends are pouring to the Grand nightly to see tho populnr actor. George L. Graves, as Abraham Lincoln, who was then president of the Unlled States, makes up in very artistic manner and Is given a rousing reception tho minute he slops on the stage, although he utters not a word. "The Ensign" is one of ihe best, and without doubt the most expensive, productions pro-ductions stnged at the Grand In a long lime. Iu a curtain talk last night, Mr, Lorch said lliat tho production this week was the llrst of his slock productions, and tho theatergoers could Judge as lo the class of plays that would hold the boards at this popular playhouse. The jurors In whose hands tho fate of Drls-kell, Drls-kell, tho murderer, lies wore guests or the Grand theater last night and occupied occu-pied scats in a body. There was a crowded house last night lo witness the Buugalow Stock company in the presentation of "Dlvorcons." Miss Leone and Mr. Travors, In the lending roles, arc ably supported by the other members of the company. There will be a matinee Saturday. All lovers of the theater and students of the drama, whether or not registered iu any of the educational institutions, will be glad to know the decision of tho Agricultural coliego council permitting the Dramatic club of the school to pic-sent pic-sent "The Climbers" in Salt Lake City. About twenty-five of the students will make the trip the cast of eighteen, the manager of dramatics, Professor N. "A. Pcderson, and his assistants. The play was so successful at both of the recent Logan performances, and has so much Intrinsic merit, that no fears whnlever are entertained as to its reception away from home. It Is a powerful, gripping drama. Furthermore, the quality of the acting ranks with the best ever achieved by amateurs. The presentation is, in fad. one of tho dramatic events of the season. H will be given at the Salt Lake theater Saturday evening March 10. |
