Show Before the Public. The Gates concert at the tabcinaele Monday evening drew a fair sired audience that was evidently well pleased with the lendltlons, if frequent fre-quent and prolonged applause may be taken as expressive of tho appreciation. apprecia-tion. Her voice probably showed to the greatest advantage from an artistic standpoint in the 8th number, but to the greatest pleasure of the audience In the 7th, 11th and 12th. Her ability to reach the highest notes with apparent ease and to sustain them is certainly wonderful, but the resonance and sweetness of her tones may be questioned. She has a very pleasing stage presence and with the development that may come with continued study that Is the great singer's portion she may yet return to us as a second Melba, Patti oi Nordlca. The program as announced announc-ed was as follows: Selection 1. Ave Maria Mascagnl 2. The Sweetest Flower Hawley 3. Romaika Park 4. Selection Piano litviN Snow, ."i. Gretchen am Splnniade.. Schubert (I. Popples Do Kovcn 7. Spring llcnschcl Selection 8. Pearl do Rrlsll David t). His Favorite Flower Lovvltz 10. Selection Piano Ckcil Gatks. 11. Annie Laura 12. Sing Sweet lllrd Iteforc Miss Gates appeared In the first number, Mr. Walter Lamoreaux favored the audience with "Thy Sentinel Sen-tinel am 1," a baritone solo that gave full scope to his powerful voice; and later on the program he tendered another selection very acceptablj'. Prof. Anderson of Ogden, who was hi the audience also favotcd the audience audi-ence with a bass solo that was ic-ceived ic-ceived with heatty appieclatlon. He has a veiy'jfieasing voice and his selection se-lection was of such compass as to .show It to advantage. Mis. Anderson accompanied him. Mr. Shepherd of Salt Lake was the accompanist for Miss Gates and proved himself of such signal ability in that line its to make his playing a fcatuic of the conceit. The Y. M. and Y. L. M, I. A. can congratulate themselves on the financial finan-cial success of the entertainment. The "Corlanton" Company seems to be pushed a little for money Just at present. Mr. George W. Thatcher, Jr., treasurer of the company, found It necessary to lctum to Salt Lake from Omaha the latter part of last week and get out a searcli warrant for some of the necessary to carry the pioduc-t pioduc-t ion through a slump It has been experiencing ex-periencing lately. Mr. Thatcher feels that the lack of proper advertising has been the dravvbaek and that there Is a bright outlook ahead of the play if those Interested will carry it through this temporary embarrassment embarrass-ment Comments on the play are very favorable and there is every reason to believe that It w 111 jet meet witli the success Utah people wish for it. Tne Salt Lake people agreed to put up the money needed and Mr. Thatcher left for Kansas with great hopes for the future. Logan people Join In wishing the company better luck. "Thclma" comes to the Thatchor Opera House on the 25th. Those w ho have read this intensely dramatic production pro-duction of Marie Corelll's efforts will hardly miss this opportunity of seeing It portraj'cd on the stage by competent artists. This company comes well recommended. There is a move on foot now to have the "Corlanton" company Jump ftom Kansas city to Boston and New York. The managets believe that the play will prove a success u these cities, and if so that It will be the means of insuring it success elsewhere. Chas. T. Hanford, who will probably make his appearance at the Thatcher Opera Houso before the theatrical season sea-son is closed made a remarkable hit last season In "The Taming of the Shrew." lie will star In the same delightful de-lightful comedy this season and' will probably be seen here In that or "Much Ado About Nothing" which Is also to have a grand revival. Before a great while Miss Ruth Evelyn Moench the efficient Instructor in English and physical culture at the Agricultural College will probably give a public entertainment. Elocution, Elocu-tion, vocal and instrumental music, physical culture drills and exercises, and pure comedy in the person of Mr. J. G. Kent of Primrose & Dock-stadcr Dock-stadcr minstrel fame, will hold full sway on that occasion. Kent is a great baritone, also. Many Loganltes are familiar with Elbert Hubbard through his "Philistine," "Philis-tine," and will be interested in knowing know-ing that ho will probably lecture in Salt Lake City some time in January "Fra Elberta" enjoys tho unique distinction of being as thoroughly hated and as sincerely loved its any man In the U. S. His Philistine contains much that might be con- - 1 1 . derailed and at the same time It contains con-tains much that Is good. It must be admitted that he is at least oilglnal, and that his "Little Journejs" aie the best thing of the kind given to the public. On the 30th "The Stowaway" will be the attraction here. |
