Show I R. If - TRIB CRITICISMS. H 3 1 H 1 1 If there is anything this Salt Lake Tribune will H Ljl h not grovel in the dirt for, if there is a piece of H ill money in sight, what is it? Its public outrages S 4w!K are notorious, but the absolute subsidizing of its H 19 dramatic columns this season is the subject of as WrJji if much comment as anything else. Hit fiff Not a tiling has appeared at either house all Hi 11 winter long, that was not "great," "good cast," H ; Sfl I "wonderful acting" and all the other stock com- H : lj i plimentary lines in the theatrical vocabulary. I iffill I Its latest Play for a continuation of the Grand H ! I I theatre advertising was the prop it put under that phenomenally successful Russian drama, "For Her Sake." No matter for whose sake, it was the limit, and among the worst things seen at that house of notoriously rotten productions. Yet the "interest was intense," "clever acting," act-ing," "exceptionally good," and other expressions equally nauseating. It must gall the boys who have to write it, for they are bright and clever fellows, but the Tribune is losing advertisers almost al-most as fast as it is losing subscriptions, and everything possible must be done to keep he head of the newspaper grafter who runs it above the mire. |
