Show GRAND HOLIDAY ENGAGEMENT. Lire fur Life." "Monte Cristo." "No-bedy'n "No-bedy'n Child." Ktc, by The llome Cl"b. During the Holidays, the Home Dramatic Club will give our theatre-. goers a genuine treat in the way of amusement. They are working work-ing hard and diligently on four pieces, which will be rendered with truly metropolitan style. The Engagement En-gagement opens Christmas night, when they will present their last grand success, "Life for Life," which was written up in our last issue and was pronounced by the public, the most perfect dramatic performance ever witnessed in Brigham City. The Saturday night following, Dec. 20th, "Monte Cristo" will be seen for the first lime in this City. It is a melodrama; melo-drama; but an exceptional one. It is, in one sense, the license of true romance. Dumas' story of "Monto Critito," whether as a novel or a play. is. truly fascinating. As a novel, it has enriched publishers and furnished the public with a story, equaled only by Rider Haggard's, Hag-gard's, in strangeness; as a play, it has made the fame and fortune of one of America's foremost heroic actors, Mr. James O'Neill, who is now, and has been for the last five years, starring in it, through the; 'largest cities.1 Mortimer Snow assumes the character of Edmond Dante?, afterwards the Count of Monte Cristo, a character well suited to his talents. Miss Virginia Snow is leading lady during the Holiday engagements. "Nobody's Child," another new piece, will be presented New Years night. This romantic drama was Watt Phillipns' grec test dramatic effort, and judging from the way our Home Club handled it at rehearsal re-hearsal last night, it will be one of their greatest efforts also. The engagement en-gagement will close Saturday night, Jan. 2nd, with the old successes, "The Charcoal Burner" and ''The Valet Dc Sham," H. E. Bowring, E. A. Box and Alex. Baird playing their original characters. We should greet our energetic and talented club with rousing houses every night and convince them we appreciate their endeavor to furnish our City willi the amusement we have so long needed. |
