I ' colony, bowed and smiled and talked himself B into the affections of a large audience at th1 H i ,) Theatre last Sunday. M Affable, luscent-eyed, nimble of wit is Tra H ,j J Elbertus. Discarding all the literary and foren-H foren-H l! sic trumpery of the ordinary platform entertainer II j and with no effort at oratorical soaring, Mr. i , ; Hubbard takes his audience at once Into his cons' con-s' I fldence, even as ho might deliver parochial aph-m aph-m orisms to his East Aurora crnltsmen. There is nothing very strange or very new in the gospel the Fra preaches. It is merely the Utopian formula of working tor the joy there Is in it and tor the pleasuie which may be disseminated dissem-inated to others. But the unique old pastor presents pre-sents his wares with such delectible trimmings and prodigality ot ep'igram that all hearts yield to the persuasive charm of his converse. At times gay with refreshing humor and again forcefully but BOberiy eloquent; Fra Elbertus speaks always al-ways with his hand upon the pulse of his auditors audi-tors and there is never a moment when lowly and highly born aie not entirely captivated. Everyone who heaid the genial and versatile Fra, and felt the fiiendly warmth of his lustrous eyes, teels better for having met this remark-al'le remark-al'le and erratic Amoi'iMii, and u,n readily pic-tuio pic-tuio the long haired patiwen moving benignly onong the flock at Ea-t fimmu, transmuting the sunshine of his life into other souls. C & & THE TABERNACLE CONCERT. By courtesy of the Commercial Club and a concert by the lute-throated musicians of Zion which llvalled any musical carnival ever given in the Tabernacle, the smiling morning faces of the school children will be seen at the local institutions institu-tions of education until the end of the season. An immense audience was present, one which filled the vast auditorium and charged the galleries galler-ies with lovers of music. The remunerative returns re-turns were sufficient to guarantee an ample fund for the desired prolongation of the school year. In Salt Lake musical festivals which would be a sensation in almost any other Trans-Mississippi city are gieeted with apathy, but there was no lack of artistic enthusiasm over the banquet provided pro-vided on last Monday evening. Every venture was warmly and appreciatively received. Miss Ramsey, Ram-sey, handicapped with a seveie cold, made her smiling debut to her Salt Lake friends, and won 8,000 hearts by the charm and range and power of her thrillingly beautiful voice. Everyone present pres-ent was enraptured by her song, which proved that all the flattering notices with which she came to Zion heralded were merited by this new celebrity in Salt Lake's musical temple. Miss Sallie Fisher also presented the audience with a very agreeable surprise by her really remarkable remark-able improvement In the musical art. Charles Kent also gathered new laurels, and Arthur Ped- 1 erson augmented the impression that he Is a 8 youthful prodigy with the violin. I The many throated organ made the Taher- 1 nacle throb as of yore with weird and wonderful harmonies, under the artistic touch of Prof. Rad- cliffe and Prof. J. J. McClellan, and all the other performers reached a high standard of musical excellence. 5 ( i The Warde company was seen to advantage during the week in the military drama "At the I Edge of the Grave." J t5 t There are three acts in "David Harum," and all of its scenes are laid in Homeville, New York. The play is a clever and remarkable dramatization dramatiza-tion of the book and retains everything that had any value in the story. The horse trade in the. opening act is described as being one of the best and most humorous scenes ever unfolded in a purely American play. Another diverting scene shows Deacon Perkins belaboring the balky horse while the rain comes down on him in torrents. |
