But, one cf these days, Harry Corson may project himself into Salt Lake with the vermiform appendix cut from his name and announce himself as plain Harry Corson Clark. If this should ever happen, Salt Lakers would regard it as equivalent to a new comedian flaming across the horizon of the playhouse. Mr. Clarke has always enjoyed the distinction of being able ot give .the best makeup" of which the part assumed was capable this dressing room art he has carried to the limits of refined art. If he is to appear as an old man, he is surely and decidedly aged, both in dress and appearnce; if he is the warrior bold, you have before you a hero from Santiago; if he is a minister, the pious clergyman is piously present.
