Mr. ful in the East, but is now on its first the large attendance which greeted Mr. Held and his band last Sunday. I dont know why this was the case, but the comparative size of the audiences was greatly in favor of the home organization. All the press laudation of the city and the panegyrics of the critcs failed to drum into the Tabernacle an audience sufficient to leave a respectable margin beyond expenses. Creatore, with all the fretful animation of gesticulating hysteria, could not woo the crowd, even in the desire to witness eccentric leadership. Concert after concert the band tossed out a conservatory of sweet melody only to have the flowers wither on the cold empty benches the great auditorioum fairly blossomed with musical roses only to waste their fragrance on a desert of vacant seats. It was in every way a condition much regretted. preference as well as the one in which Mr. Haswin and his company excel. There has never before been seen on a Salt Lake stage a better Wilfred Denver than that given by Mr. Haswin last night It is said to be Mr. Haswins favorite role and one can easily believe such to be the case. As Nellie Denver, Miss Haswin, ably assists her talented husband, and shares with him the sympathetic interest of the audience. To the lovers of good wholesome melodrama, acted and perfectly staged, itsplendidly can recommend The Silver King as performed by Mr. Haswin and his company. .

The villains were artistic in their villainy the heroics of the hero grew out of natural circumstances and the heroine drew sympathy from conditions perfectly legitimate. The prologue of A Lions Heart showing the dressing-ten- t of a circus was as realistic a scene as we could wish to see. Mr. Haswin, as the lion trainer, gave a capable and effective rendition of a role, which called for careful and artistic work. Mr. Verneys character rendition of the old farmer was really clever. The villainy of Mr. Daly and Mr. Price was highly artistic none of the rough and tumble work which usually distingluishes the melodrama bad man.
