Gillette -packed .the Salt Lake Theater for three nights, and Oliver last evening before an audience of fair proportions. The play is a story of the South and "Sandy Bottom" is its name. Its locality Is at the foot of the Ozark mountains in 'Arkansas and the people concerned In it fairly represent the type peculiar to that region. . The plot of the play is both Interesting and ' exciting. It goes without saying that a murder witnessed 'at the end of . the first act is'the chief center of trouble. Rut the subsequent events are not entirely en-tirely along conventional lines ' and made unusually Interesting by scenes that are quite out of the common. ; Even a good end wholesome play as . ."Sandy Bottom" is, could not find favor .with the public, unless presented by a capable, cast. . It is pleasant to note that the cast was an uncommonly, good one throughout: f The earnestness . with which all parties concerned enter into their parts does much to lift the play into a very respectable sphere. As a matter of fact the whole cast deserves favorable mention. It must suffice' to mention Louette Babcock as a sprightly spright-ly lass, R. E. French as Col. Jed Carter, J. R. McCosh as George Bowen and to gauge the rest of the cast as on a par Vith these three. .-..-. ' Pew mechanical devices have been Introduced In-troduced on the stage that equal the startling effects obtained by Lincoln J. Carter In the great railroad scene in his new play "The Darkest Hour."

Mr. Carter's , record as an Inventor of new mechanical mechani-cal effects and scenic surprises is a guarantee to the public that this will be all that is claimed for as great and novel a bit of stage realism. "The Darkest Hour" will be at the Grand theater, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Wednes-day with Wednesday matinee. THEATRICAL NOTES.
