Show ml mm Up Saunterings H Society interest is now centered in the forth- Vv coming production of ("H. M. S. Pinafore," which Hr will be given at Wandamere for four nights, be- M ginning June 17th, under the auspices of the Free HE Kindergarten and Neighborhood House assocla- HL tlon. In every way the production will be one of Hjjf the most unique affairs ever seen locally. H Workmen are busily engaged in the construe- H tlon work for the staging of tne opera, which will V be given over the water at the pretty resort. There will be boat seats and boxes and other (choice seats to the number of over a thousand, sufficient to accommodate the crowds which are expected, and so great has been the demand for the boxes and boat seats and other choice places lhat the management is contemplating the erection of an additional number over those originally H, planned. V Harry James, who for years has staged musl- l cal comedy and light opera in San Francisco and M "who had charge of the Kolb and Dill productions, V. arrived during tne week and is now busy re- M jhearsing the company of seventy-five which will m appear in the revival of the famous Gilbert and i Sullivan opera. J Squire Coop has done wonders with the prin- WM cipals and the beauty chorus and is now pracu- M cally ready with all of the musical features. The H' ladies have indeed been fort mte in securing B the services of Mr. Coop and his hard work in M the past fortnight has rapidly brought the perform- H ance to a degree of excellence seldom attained by H amateurs. 1 Aside from the fact that the opera will be given M for a most worthy charity, the fact that the prin- H cipals and choruses are among the most talented m people in the state -will greatly add to the pleas- H ure of the occasion, and Salt Lakers will see a H production excelling in every way any out-door af- H fair ever given In the city. H H The smartest event of the week was the din- Wm! ner-dance given by the Ernest Bambergers at t the Country club on Thursday night in honor of H Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Hewlett of Pasadena, Mrs. H Horace Carey of San Francisco and Miss Wy- mond of Louisville. The invitations were limited t to thirty, going to the friends of the charming 1 sisters of Mrs. Judge, who had met them during H previous visits, and to those who in the past H fortnight have found the Hewletts among the B most delightful people who ever visited here. Hr Mrs. Hewlett is one of the beauties of southern H California and her attractive personality has in- H' stantly won till who have met her here. H,( The appointments of the dinner and dance H which followed were perfect, and the entire af- H v fair thoroughly delightful. Cards were received during the week announcing announc-ing the marriage of Miss Teresa Gorman, daughter daugh-ter of Mrs. Joanna Gorman, to Thomas M. Schumacher, Schu-macher, formerly of this city. The wedding took place in New York, where Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher Schu-macher are now at home at the Hotel Gotham. The more intimate friends of the popular groom had been advised of his approaching nuptials, nup-tials, but the majority of those in the smart set had no intimation that he was about to be married, mar-ried, though they have hastened their congratulations congratu-lations since receiving the word. During the years Mr. Schumacher lived here he made hundreds of friends in business and society circles, who have watched his successful career with interest since his departure. It is announced that Madame Emma Eames, the prima donna, and Emillio De Gogorza, the great baritone, will be married in Paris during the coming week. The divorce papers of the De Gorgorzas, in which his former wife named Emma Eames as psychic co-respondent have been marked settled, and after a honeymoon abroad the singers will return to this country in October for a concert tour. It will probably be a concert tour for one season at least, as the discords dis-cords after great singers marry hardly have a chance to break into the harmony for a few months at least. However, it is predicted that Gogorza and Eames will live happy ever after, for, if the reports are true, they are affinities beside be-side whom the loves of Dante and Beatrice, Abal-ard Abal-ard and Heloise, and Acaussin and Nicolette were as the puppy effect to the real thing. According Accord-ing to schedule, Gogorza and Eames will be heard here during the winter, and if they will permit it, will be entertained by those who made it pleasant pleas-ant for Gogorza when he warmed up one of the churches here during his first tour. Kenneth Kerr, who is now in Latouche, Alaska, Alas-ka, has written here stating that the greatest surprise sur-prise that has come to him during his tour of Alaska is the frequency with which he meets former Salt Lakers, who are now living in the land of cold and gold. In the course of his communication, com-munication, Mr. Kerr says that he has not touched at a port or gone overland to a single place in the country where he has not met former Salt Lake friends. There will be numerous dinners at the Country Coun-try club tonight, the principal one being given by Mrs. Paul Keyset for twenty of her friends. The dinners will be followed by the usual dance, and it is understood that the entertainment committee com-mittee has been prevailed upon to let the music stay for an hour or two after dark. Of course, this is an unusual privilege for club members to ask, but their wish has been granted and so there is every prospect of a real dance taking place. Society was at the races on the Fourth of July , with bells on, and by the same token it picked about nlnety,-five per cent of the losers and got it in the nape of its pretty, white neck. But there was plenty of sport during the day, nearly everybody was there to see everybody else and incidentally the ponies, and after the finish of the festivities at the track the motoring parties came into the clubs and hotels to forget their troubles or rejoice in their good fortune. Rather an anticipatory party was that given by a popular young man in society on Monday evening, when, after taking a charming clustet of debutantes and men to the races and dining them at the Utah Hotel, he finished the evening by showing them through Billy's Baby Shop. One of the most brilliant affairs of the week was the wedding reception at the home of Colonel Col-onel and Mrs. Nephi W. Clayton on Wednesday evening following the marriage of Miss Sybella White Clayton and William Smith Bassett of Provo. The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and assisting Mr. and Mrs. Bassett in receiving their many friends were Miss Irene Bassett, the maid of honor; H, ld Smoot, the best man for Mr. Bassett, Colonel and Mrs. Clayton, Clay-ton, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Clayton and Mr. and Mrs. Young. Assisting in the dining room were Mrs. Joel Nibley, Miss Lucille Clark, Miss Margaret Beatty, Miss Rehan Spencer, Miss Helen Spencer, Spen-cer, Miss Nan Clawson, Miss Winnifred Burrows, Miss Marian Whitney, Miss Lillian Wells and Miss Helen Wells After their honeymoon the young people will make their home in this city. In honor of Miss Dorothy Bamberger and Miss Hazel Holmes, Miss Geneve Savage and Miss Mary Luman entertained at a delightful garden party at the Savage home on Wednesday. Those assisting assist-ing during the day were Miss Margaret McClure, Miss Florence Halloran, Miss Dorothy Marion-eaux, Marion-eaux, Miss Bernardine Kimball, Miss Sybil Walker, Wal-ker, Miss Phyllis, Miss Gertrude Snow and Miss Marian Mclntyre. One of the most attractive places to dine during dur-ing the summer is the roof garden of the University Uni-versity club, where there is always a delightful breeze and where the excellent views enhance the pleasure of the diners. |
