It remained, however, for De Wolf Hopper to place the eccentric Mr. Pickwick behind the footlights and to exploit his peculiarities upon the comic opera stage. In Dickens humorous character De Wolf Hopper is said to have found a wonderful affinity, while into the interpretation he throws the strenuous hilarity and robust playfulness for which he is famous. The costumes are described as gorgeous and historically correct. Sumptuous scenery and stage settings give the piece a glittering and costly setting. The music is said to be bright, catchy and of the kind to In- vite encores. Mr. Pickwick is, of cfourse, provided with that indispensable feature of comic opera, a beauty chorus. Particular stress is laid upon the claim that the chorus has not been selected for physical requirements alone, but that more than the usual regard has been paid to its voice capacity and vocal ability. Besides De Wolf Hopper himself and he counts for much there are those two very clever people, Digby Bell and Laura Joyce Bell who have long been favorites with metropolitan audiences. It Mr. Pickis to be regretted that wick will be seen only twice in Salt Lake. George Edeson, In his new play, Soldiers of Fortune, seemed to have found a dramatic vehicle well fitted for his peculiar activity as an actor. The play is certainly full of action, melodramatic climaxes, and plenty of opportunities to get well to the front. Mr. Edeson, as the hero of the drama, holds the whip hand and drives fate and chance as if they were horses harnessed to his chariot. But nobody ever read a Richard Harding Davis novel in which this was not so, and especially is it true of his Soldiers of Fortune, which Augustus Thomas could not wholly eliminate in his dramatic adaptation. However, Mr. Edeson is making an undenied success in the play and preparing himself for better things. & In Old Kentucky seems never to grow old. For many years, like the flowers in spring, it has gone on blooming without a frost appearing at the box office. Last Thursday and Friday it made it steenth appearance in Sa t Lake and the galleries warmed up to it just as they did ten years ago. Madge, who was bred in old Kentucky, is still the heroine among the boys up stairs and bids fair to linger in their affection for some time to come. - Cinderella, or A Dress Rehearsal will be presented at the Salt Lake theatre on Nov. 21. Mrs. Martha Royle King, under whose direction the pro duction will be given, has been tire less in her efforts to fill the expectations of her many friends of the local company. In the lines and songs of the opera much local color will be used indeed, the color will be positively prismatic. The girls have prepared a magazine of high explosives, which will be tossed into the auditorium without fear or favor. Salt Lake at this time is a diamond field of opportunity for local gags and witticisms. The girls have carefully selected the rarest gems, mounted them in richest humor, and will cleverly pin them to the expansive shirt fronts of masculine victims. Many a venerated head in the community will be crowned with a laurel wreath of jokelets. Others will receive from their fair hands, bouquets fresh with the dews of election. But men who seek publicity In local affairs must expect a shower of arrows from the Dianas in A Dress Rehearsal. The artistic features of the opera, however, will not suffer and every advantage will be taken of the bright, sparkling music.
