Show AMUSEMENTS. "The Yankee Regent." "The Yankee Regent," with its wealth of beautiful scenic effects' its array of pretty women, and gorgeous transformations, is the underscored attraction at-traction at the Salt Lake theatre for next Monday night. "The Yankee Regent" Re-gent" ought to attract perhaps more attention than any musical piece we are likely to have this season, for the advance notices disclose the fact that it is a companion show to "The -Isle of Spice" and "The Royal Chef," and Mr. Jerome, who furnished the tuneful score that is credited with much of the success it attained when it ran 250 nights in Chicago, is said to have outdone out-done himself in the new offering. A cast of sixty-five, headed by Toby Lyons, the original "Goo-Goo man," a pony ballet and a production that was a nine-day wonder in Chicago, where such things are far froin uncommon, ought to assure "The Yankee Regent" the attention it deserves when it comes locally. Maude Fealy will appear in "The Stronger Sex" at the Salt Lake theatre next Thursday. Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee. "The Stronger Sex," which was easily easi-ly the great dramatic success of the London stage during the past year, has been secured by Manager John Cort for Maude Fealy, and is being presented by that charming and artistic star ard her associates throughout the country with groat success. Manager Cort has already arranged for a New York hearing hear-ing of the- play, and after the first tf January it will settle down there lor a long stay. It has the precedent of seven months' solid run at the Apollo theatre. London, and the unqualified endorsement of the London press and public, so has not come to American soil by any means a stranger. "The Royal Chef is down for a visit to Salt Lake, and will appear at the Salt Lake theatre soon. The music of the play is not only extremely catchy, but has scored number for. number with any ever written for a single production, pro-duction, in many a day. The scenic effects are described as great and the company, with William J. McCarthy in the leading role, unusually capable. As evidence of the distance afield the Sousa marches have gone, read tl is, written by a correspondence who was making holiday in the quaint old Belgium Bel-gium town of Maliiies: "Whilst admiring ad-miring the most wonderful pictures contained in the cathedral one morning, morn-ing, my attention was called by the clock chiming the half hour, when immediately im-mediately the cathedral chimes started playing an air. I listened in reverence, when. Judge to my surprise, on finding the air to be the well known 'Washington 'Wash-ington Post,' of John Philip Sousa. I have heard the sprightly piece of music played in many places and on many instruments, but never did I expect its modern measures to come ringing from the bells of an ancient cathedral." |
