two days they were all cleared out six dozen of them being shipped to Logan Unless the City Council pass a strict ordinance in the matter Dave threatens to ship in a whole carload THE Chamber Concert of Messrs Krcuse and Van Praag last Monday night in Calders Hall was a splendid treat to all present But when Krouse Weihe and Van Praag are combined it could not be otherwise and were these gentlemen to give music of a more popular popu-lar character we believe they would have no reason to complain of a lack of patronage patron-age CARDINALI has seceded from Mapleson The pretty tenor has abandoned the opera possibly forever Some think troupe his that adverse criticism has wounded sensitive soul but Cardinal mysteriously hints that he has discovered a bonanza in San Francisco and that there will soon exist no necessity for him to sing Some of the critics advised him to learn to sing and make his voice match his really three of four good notes THEODORE THOMASS orchestra number pieces will give

overja Salt Lake Zandt in Mme Van THE attack upon Paris of which the dispatches this week I have given us full details is said to have whom been instituted by Mrs Mackay 1 has the little queen of Opera Comique little i offended by light remarks The but prima donna held her own gallantly and it was a fight of genius against gold learned by the dispatches yesterday it is that she will play in Paris no more Emma Nevada says of Van Zandt Her friendship is the greatest happiness of my life Both are Western girls Ed THE New York Graphic says win Booth has no idea of retiring and has said so but the rumor was flagrantly false and malicious Booth mellows with time like old wine With each year his nature glides more easily into his art With every new performance som wrinkle is smoothed away in the transi turn The impression he once gave ol painstaking and conscientiousness and finish is fading out Seeing him we think less and less of these things and of Booth and more of the higher vitality of hi conception With his ascetic habits Booth ought to be acting better at the end I of ten years than now GILBERT SULLIVAXS new operetta a The Mikado or the Town of Titipu I is said to be one of uproarious merriment The score is filled with as many ear catching melodies as Pinafore and the orchestration is as varied as in Patience It is probable that it will become a universal uni-versal favorite The curtain rises upon the courtyard of Kokos Palace backed by a rich landscape and brilliant sky discovering a statuesque chorus who i fans iu hand describe themselves iii I these words which strongly remind one of Patience If you want to know who we are We arc gentlemen of Tapan On many a vase and jar On many a screen and fan We figure in lively paint With attitudes queer and quaint Youre wrong if you think it aint One notable feature of the opera is the trio by Kokos wards to the words Three little maids from school are we Pert as school girls well can be Three little maids who all unary Come from a ladies seminary This is sung to a waltz movement daintly melodious and memory lurking There are several love ballads and tender duets The piece will probaply be first produced at the Standard Theatre New York AN OGDEN SLANDER ON PATIENCE When the twenty lovesick maidens left Ogden Friday morning they were I making their lips redolent with the fragrance frag-rance of spruce gum oi which commodity they seem to have laid in a copious supply I sup-ply for on their return from the North they were still chewing the sweet substance sub-stance and when the train bore them out I of the depot southward their cheeks I were still displaying the rosy dimples engraved I en-graved in their lovely cheeks by the masticating I mas-ticating process Ofden XcuA Whether I the foregoing item is true or false it Is the solid you bet opinion of all the Patience Pa-tience maidens that the editor of the Ogden Sews is just a real mean fellow you know There is some talk of sending send-ing a detachment of the heavy dragoons up to Ogden to annihilate him but his I life may probably be spared this time BETSY B of the Argonaut says of Patti in Faust Patti sang the last netlike net-like one inspired and it seemed as if those three great final notes would pierce the heavens with the desperate appeal in them It seemed as if for this once the great singer threw herself body and soul I into this burst of sound To many very many it was the first time it occurred that there was a soul enshrined in this pretty Patti casket She has seemed like a pomegranite flower a humming bird a brighthued butterfly anything that is light airy pretty graceful and soulless Her Marguerite in the earlier acts suggested sug-gested no such possibility As for the last act even the Patti fanatics are justified I justi-fied in their not very rational ravings I over it When an artist touches your your soul as if it were an electric button and startles you into a surge of feeling I there is nothing left for art to do I FOR many years the citizens of Provo have felt the need of a theatre Last I spring a stock company was organized and preparations were made for the erection erec-tion of one The building is situated on what is known as the Smoot block I The entire length of the building is 110 I feet by 48 in width and is forty feet to I the square The size of the stage is 40x58 feet it has a parquette and par I quette circle and two galleries j its scat ing capacity will be from 700 to 1000 The building when finished will be the finest in the Territory outside of Salt Lake City The cost will be about 25000 COLOR AT TIlE THEATERS A member of the staff of the New York Enterprise the colored journal in that city has interviewed the managers and treasurers of the various theatres regarding re-garding their rules relative to the admission admis-sion of colored people to the auditorium At the Grand Opera House of which Mr Henry E Abbey is proprietor Treasurer M B Rice said that no objection was entertained en-tertained to colored people They were admitted upstairs When asked if they were admitted downstairs he answered with some hesitation that colored people never asked for admission downstairs but there would be no objection if they did At the Fifth Avenue Theatre colored people peo-ple are admitted to any part of the house I if r they pay the price and behave them selves The same rule prevails at wal lacks Theatre the Bijou Opera House Niblos Garden the Metropolitan Opera House and the Casino At the Comedy Theatre Harrigan Harts Dalys and the Standard Theatre colored people must be content with gallery seats As a rule the colored people do not desire to visit the theatres except witness a minstrel show and then feel satisfied with seats in the balcony or gallery TIlE CARELESS CONCERT StCCESS The past week bas been one of surprises sur-prises to the musiclovers of Salt Lake and gratifying surprises they were too The event of course was the appearance of the Careless Orchestra at the Theatre That the combination of local musicians which Mr Careless has succeeded ip i forming would meet with a brilliant reception re-ception was anticipated in last Saturdays DEMOCRAT but that the concert would be such an artistic success could hardly have been dreamed of Under such disadvantages dis-advantages and drawbacks as such an enterprise must have encounterednot the least of which is the peculiar temperament temper-ament manifest in all musicians the Careless orchestra achieved a triumph tri-umph creditable to the leader and individual member and the every prediction of the DEMOCRST that the public pub-lic would encourage their efforts was justified To summarize a criticism fully that it of the concert it is enough to say was thoroughly enjoyed by all and that from a musical standpoint the effort was far superior to anything previously given home artists The reappearance by our much was hailed with of Mrs Careless sweet and yet so applause So pure so was her voice that an encore was flexible rapturously demanded Both of her and closed an even were gems numbers entertainment which can early be ings repeated with every assurance of success |
