The grand initial production of the much-talked-of spectacular drama "Corianton" will occupy oc-cupy the boards of the historic Salt Lake theater on next Monday evening. Charles Roy Bowers, who designed the costumes, scenery and lithographic litho-graphic cuts for the company, has just returned from New York, and reports everything on hand for the magnificent production. The scenery is purely Aztec, while the costumes of the Nephites and Zoramites are taken from the ancient Egyptians, Egyp-tians, Phonoecians and Medeans, the Lamanite costumes from the Aztec. The swords, spears and other implements are designed from Aztec and Phoenoecian descriptions, and are made of copper-bronze. The scene is laid in the Aztec country, seventy-five years before Christ, and is supposed to be the history of the people who left Jerusalem 550 years B. C. The remainder of the professional people who are in the cast Thomas Coleman, Josephine Draci, and Charles Roy Bowers the Shiblon of the cast arrived from New York this week and have taken part in the rehearsals during the past three days. Mr. Bowers, who has been associated with Joseph Jo-seph Hawortii in the productions of "The Christian" Chris-tian" and "Quo Vadis," says that he considers the leading man one of the greatest artists in his line today on the American stage. J. H. Lewis, the popular manager of the production, pro-duction, states that everything is in ship-shape for the opening performance, and promises the grandest success for the drama that has ever been placed on the boards of a Salt Lake playhouse.
