One morning, while running over an assortment of envelopes, he heard three feminine ticket buyers discussing whether Charles Richman had not at one time played the prince in A Royal Family. Interested in the controversy, having himself won his first distinction in America in the role of the king in that play, he dawdled a bit over his mail to learn the conclusion arrived at, and incidentally, as he confesses, with the hope that he might glean a crumb ol favorable comment about his own work in the production.

This company, of which Mr. Gourley is general manager, will not only control Utah-N- a Park in this city, but also the Unique theatre and Utah-N- a Park, soon ready for business, in Ogden.
