Show AM(JSEMENTS. "A Country Girl" and "The Cinga-lee." Cinga-lee." At last we are to hear England's greatest and most sumptuous musical comedies, "A Country Girl" and "The Cingalee." by the Augustin Daly Musical Mu-sical company, which opens here Monday Mon-day evening for six nights and two matinees. These two musical plays were written by James T. Tanner, with lyrics by Adrian Ross. Paul Rubens and Percy Greenbank, music by Lionel Moncton. They were originally produced pro-duced In London at 'Daly's theatre, after which they were brought to Daly's New York theatre, where they enjoyed long and prosperous runs. The present productions are complete in every detail and will be produced here on a magnificent scale. A grand chorus cho-rus of sixty voices and fifteen principals, princi-pals, and augmented orchestra are fear tures of the performances. The first act of "A Country Girl" takes place in the rustic surroundings of an En$lish estate. The second act is laid in the interior of the Palace of Fine Arts, London, where a gorgeous fancy dress ball takes place. There is plenty of hay, and fashion, both. It is delightfully delight-fully rustic, but none the less pretty. hTe score is brimful of musical gems. 'The. rinaaloo" la rviortal In the tnioct sense of the word. The first act is laid on a tea plantation in Ceylon. The second sec-ond act takes place at the palace of an Oriental potentate on Lake Kandy. It is this scene that is said to be a marvelous mar-velous bit of workmanship. The interior inter-ior of the palace will, be illuminated with hundreds of incandescent lights. This will afford a stage picture of Oriental Ori-ental beauty and magnificence. The engagement of this organization in these two plays will be the most pretentious pre-tentious that has occurred here . this season. It requires three sixty-foot baggage cars to transport the scenic and electric effects of these two pieces. "A Country Girl" will be given on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee. "The Cingalee" on Thursday. Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee. The advance sale for the two productions opened yesterday morning. Mail orders will be filled in the order in which they are received as near as possible to location desired. Mrs. Leslie Carter, the distinguished American actress, who will be seen at the Salt Lake theatre soon in the powerful pow-erful plays, "Du Barry" and "Zaza," admits that she has one hobby, although al-though she does not speak of it as a hobby, and that is horses. Her affection affec-tion for them is vnbounded and in the stables at her country place at Bar Harbor, Me., she has some prize winners, win-ners, including the blue ribbon pair, "Du Barry" and "Zaza." |
