STEWART'S COMPANY FINE
The first performance of a seriesof two
was giver, iast evening by the Stewart
Light Opera Com panv. Following at it
did, a heavy drama, the sudden change,
wat especially pleasing nnd the first show
was deserving of a better crowd than
graced the house last evening,
The nature of the company is not the
comic opera by any means, but a light
opera.
The ability of the'Chours as singers
wasejpecially noticeable. The rendition
of "Two Roses" was gool. From begin
Ing to end thera are catchy songs, and
beautiful stage settings. The tonor has
voice the equal of which is seldom
heard in light or comic opera.
The company is deserving of a full
house, and the favorable comments that
are heard on the streets today wi I doubt
less All the house tjnight.
Tonight "Dorothy" will be presented.
which everywhere greets tne inimitable
"Pixies"
It tells the story of the kidnapping of a
sleeping fairy by the wicked goblins, a
terrific battle between the pixies and
goblins, the final dere.it of the goblins,
the restoration of the stolen fairy, and the
wedding festivities of the Prince and
Queen. Forty mus'cal numbers will be
heard, ernbrasing solos, duets, trios
quartets and choruses. Fifty high school
girls will be seen in a number of new
anus, out tne cmer interest centers in
the boys who represent pixies, brownies
and goblins. Their grotesque make-up,
and comical antics are said to be as funny
as anything ever seen upon the stage.
GRAND THEATER Beach & Bowers.
Minstrels.
The large audience which assembled at
the Grand theater to witness the enter
tainment given by Beach & Bowers'
minstrels, Thursday night again empha
sized that which is a notable characteris
tic of Salt Lake theater goers, that they
will patronize most generously " a merit
orious performance. The show was a
pleasing one thruout. The singing was
above the average, while the ccmody
part was excruciatingly funny.
The Beach & Bowers minstrels com
prise an aggregation cash ono of whom is
an artist within himself. Such artists
as George L. Wade, James Stuart, Rob
ert Tipple and othais are fun-makers and
pleasing entertainers of the highest order.
Their performance iast night w,is of that
entertaining character the S. R. 0. sign
will be in evidence the balance of their
short season at the Grand.
Beach and Bowers come direct from
New fjik. and is one of the oldest and
best ail-wnite minstrel shows now trav
eling in tnis country. The old gags which
usuelly constitute the stock in trade of
mediocre minstrel companies have been
wisoly eliminated, and people go away
with the pleasing satisfaction that they
have witnessed something entirely new.
