What Happened to Jones, the new three act farce which has had such an immensely successful season in the larger cities of the east and west will be presented here at the Xew Grand, all next week, commencing Monday, April 11th, by the Harry Corson Clarke Company, which is said to be one of the strongest organizations traveling. The author George II. Broad hurst has written a play which is said to be the best thing of its kind presented in years. A family is involved in innumerable complications in the fact that an old professor to witness a has been induced by his prize fight that has been raided by the police. son-in-la- OXFEREXCE WEEK has not lacked attractions so far, and tonight three attractions will contest for public favor, making altogether a week of much interest in dramatic and musical circles. OXeil has done only fair business so far at the Salt Lake Theatre, while A Boy Wanted at the Xew Grand has played to crowded houses. The Thatcher-Harriconcert at the Congregational Church Thursday night was the most classical and artistic affair that has been given here for many days. This evening we are to be given an opportunity to hear the Welsh Singers at the Tabernacle, a rare treat indeed. Wanted, is one of the cleverest shows of the variety kind that has visited the New Grand. It is filled with amusing situations, good dancing and clever specialty features. The Laurence sisters are particular stars and their acrobatic work is marvelous. The dancing is clever and many new jokes are introduced. Then old, old jokes are so that they are made acceptable. A Boy Wanted goes this afternoon and tonight. A Boy sugar-coate- d James OXeil presents in a virile manner a It is of the strong play in the Dead Heart. Revolution in France. A leaf torn from a bloody page of history when men, aye, women too, reeked in blood and were turned to savage hearts. Why, asked a great statesman once of Dan-todo you rule with the guillotine. We are the canaille of the street, sir, said Danton. We rule with terror; we know no other way. The terrors of the Bastile. the fevered blood mania of the people, the terror and distraction and horror of the time is clearly shown in the Dead Heart. The proud aristocrat still lives, even in this land, the canaille exists here too. There also heartburnings and wrongs that have sunk deeply. The dramatist of the future in our land may have just such a page of history, let us hope guillotine less to draw from. Mr. OXeil is forging to the front rank. His support is good, his stage envoiements artistic. Mr. DeWitt Jennings of this city, well known in dramatic circles, is one of OXeils capable supporters. Monte Cristo is too well known for comment. n, d, concert at tie The Thatcher-IIairiCongregational church Thursday evening was attended by the musical cult of the city. The program was selected with care and gave the artists participating the needful opportunity to show their talents. As I said before the concert the young artists who appeared would surprise the public. To many who were not acquainted with Messrs. Thatcher, Harris and Shepards ability, there was a feeling that here was some talent that they were little acquainted with, but would like to hear more of. The first number on the program was Prof. in Mendelssohns Sonata Xo. I. This was followed by Mr. Thatcher in Massenets Vision Fair and Schumanns Two Spring Songs. Mr. Thatchers voice is pure and sweet with a surprising amount of power and he takes F sharp with as great ease as C natural. Xot only does he sing with ease, but his phrasing and expression shows the artist and professional. His recitative and aria from Mozart were given with great effect, and his last numbers among which were Daphnes Love and 0 That We TwO Were Maying, were rapturously recited. For an encore he gave Helmunds Marguerita a beautiful gem. Mr. Harris gave for his first number Fantasie by De Beriot, an exceedHis Legend ingly delicate composition. from Wieniawski and his Concerto from Mendelssohn were given with a rare finish and excellent style. Mr. Harris is a skilled violinist, s Rad-cliff- e s Blaneys absent from the country thirty years. The laughable situations which grow out of these premises seem almost inexhaustible, and follow each other with such novel fluency and with such novel sequences, that the audience is not allowed to cease laughing from start to finish. The company engaged to interpret What Happened to Jones, is described as an industrious, hard working and a clever one. It includes such popular players as Harry Corson Clarke, the brilliant young comedian ; J. B. Polk, John Allison, Charles Charters, C. W. Terriss, II. S. Xorthrop, Phillip Calvert, Mrs. Adele Clarke, Miss Marian Barney, Miss Lillian Xorris, Miss Clara Rain-forMiss Maud Allison and Miss Olive Hoff and has met with great success. fa fa fa Bew (5ranb ENTIRE WEEK BEQ INNING ... theatre $ H.
