It truly holds the mirror up to nature, illustrates, the ivruknesses and frailties of men and on. n and does it In a manntr that Impresses- us with the moral of the "ory, yet it does not leave the bad fe which the later problem plays do. This jJay has been the means of bringing bring-ing many actors into prominence.

There Is promise of much genuine en- tertainment In the announcement that Charles Frohman is to pre?ent William H. Crane at the Salt Lake Theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings even-ings and Saturday matinee In -the dramatization of "David Harum." Nearly every one read Westcott's entertaining en-tertaining story which so long and so tenaciously held Its place at the' head of the list of the "six best selling books," and certainly every one who has at all kept in touch with theatrical history has heard of the success of the play' dramatized from. it. The .claims made in regard to ihe play's success seem to have some basis in fact. In the first place It has lasted Mr. Crane longer than any other work he has ever had, and. furthermore, it has outlived all ' of the other dramatizations that came before the public at or about the same time it wss made known. In the matter of earnings, It holds the record for' -large receipts in . many cities, Its popularity being of such degree that it has been held that the comedy would be to Crane what "Rip Van Winkle" has been to Jefferson.
