It is said B ! ; to be the best comedy Fitch ever wrote in as much IB i as it gives his imagination full play, and was not, as another expresses it, "born in mental captivity." g The scene of tho play is New York in the early Ii '70s, and it is said that the local color given the j !

The story is of Mme. fg j j I Trentoni (formerly an American girl from Tren- Ij - ton, N. J.), and Captain Jinks of the Horse Matt Ma-tt rines. Mme. Trentoni, who in Jersey was Aurelia j Johnson, has achieved great triumphs in Europe, n where she went to study music, and on her return k to America several gentlemen welcome her at the If pier. While waiting, and before anyone has seen 8 the lady, Captain Jinks offers to bet $1000 that M he will win Trentoni's love.

There are a number of .. , special features in the delightful production, among H : them a gorgeous ballet K j ! B r The Salt Lake Symphony orchestra gave a high H I I class entertainment Monday evening at the Salt H I Lake Theater and won the merited applause of Kj j m" the large and appreciative audience which gath- Hj j jf ered in the playhouse to pass judgment on the first B jgj of a series of concerts which this excellent com- B m bination purposes giving in Zion during the pres- H I M ent season. Prof. Shepherd added to his reputa- K m tion as a talented leader and is entitled to the grat- H M m itude of all lovers of classical music by the excel- H Ml lence of his management and the precision and in- H P' spiration with which he has inspired his com- BB i pany. Hi h The "Rondo d'Aniour of Westerlund" was re- BBB k ceived with evident appreciation from the critical Bl w audience, while the "Minuet of Boccherini" was a B m m fantansy of charming and catchy melodies filter- LH w I ns alternate sunshine and whispering breezes Bi m mingled with the rippling of mountain brooks H B B which echoed and re-echoed in the memory long LhI h K after the sweet strains had died away. The artis tic rendition of the Schubert symphony met with a hearty reception and was perhaps the most difficult dif-ficult and intricate selection on the gropramme. Signor Setaro's fantasia from "Martha" adapted to the harp was the gem of the evening, and his "Maid of Dundee" was the soul of touching mel-. ody. Miss Lottie Levy gave a charming and artistic ar-tistic rendition of Donizetti's "0 Mio Fernando" and elicited deserved recognition from the responsive re-sponsive audience. Altogether the initial concert of this newly organized or-ganized company was a complete success and its second number is awaited with pleasant anticipation. anticipa-tion. Next to the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company the funniest thing seen on the local stage during the week was Charles Kent in the "Bedouin Love Song." The posing, principally, in the feet and shoulders was delicious and produced an undercurrent under-current of joy that was hard to stifle. Dear, funny Stuart Robson will appear at the Theater this afternoon and this evening in "The Comedy of Errors." This is the first time in many years that Bertie the Lamb has appeared in any- thing of this character in this city, and the production pro-duction will be attended with great interest. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," carrying a stupendous bunch of "real live things," arrived direct from Manti Monday and played Salt Lake at the Grand the first part of the week. "The Telephone Girl" is getting through the week safely with good houses and no Hamlin heirs from Chicago butting in to steal the leading lady. The clever work of the Held minstrels entitles them to a big audience at their performances next week. |
