Down at the Lyric "Uncle Dan'l" Is
awfully busy in "The Yankee Detec

In crooKed Boston, "Uncle Dan'l" Is
the whole farm.
Mr. Itussel Barrett is certainly mak

vontures are noisly applauded. 1.0
is one of tho best "by-gosh" actors I
havo seen and I've seen 'em all from
Denman Thompson to Neill Burgess.
"Clip," tho little waif, as played by
Adelaide Knight, Is a "clipper." And
by-the-way, Miss Knight is proving
herself a versatile actress from an
emotional lady in picturesque, gown to
a waif in tattered dress. I want to
throw a bonnet at Tony West as
f "Skinny Smith" he deserves a bunch
of carnations. It is one of tho clever
est, cleanest cut bits of character

study one could wish to see upon the
stage. Tony West Just gets into tho
skinny part of "Skinny Smith" and
stays there during tho performance.
Little Madora Scott, as "Gertrudo

caro she displays.
Miss Hartley, In a double part,

RED FEATHER.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday De
Koveii, Klien and Cook's "Red Feath
ar" will bo at tho Salt Lake theatre,
fills Is one of the most notable comic
opera presentations of the past few
years and from all reports is fully de
serving of the modicum of praise that
has been bestowed upon It. From tlw
day that Reginald DeKovcn offered
the musical public the sparkling airs
of "Robin Hood," although since that
his successes havo been many, he has
not written such brilliant music as
that which ho embodied in tho scorn
of "Red Feather." There are solo?
that are masterpieces; duets that for
daintiness, grace and expression arc
insurpassed; inspiring marches; stir
"lng choruses; and robust ensembles
that fully merit tho most Hatterinir
commendation that has been accorded
them. To Interpret this music Man
ager Jos. M. Baltes has gathered a
company of singers who are fully ade
quate to perform tho Important task
assigned them. Tho prima donna of
tho organization is Miss Cherldah
Simpson, who possesses a remarkably
sweet volco and In addition is an ac
complished actress. In all, tho com
pany numbers some soventy-flvo ar
tists and has gained the reputation of
being tho best singing and acting light
opera body en tour. A luxurious pro
duction, costing In the neighborhood
of 170,000, was mado by tho Zlofeld
Opera company and this will bo seen
In all of Its lavishness of detail. An
Important auxiliary Is the augmented
orchestra.
LYRIC THEATRE NEXT WEEK.
Tho patrons of tho Lyric theatre
will enjoy a treat tho coming week
when Moore's big scenic production of
Faust will be given. This Is absolute
ly tho biggest show ever attempted
in Salt Lake at these prices. The
Mephistophles of Mr. Frederick Moore,
lias received tho most flattering en
dorsements overywhoro ho has ap
peared and tho Marguorlto of Pearl
Ethier also receives tho best of no
tice Tho supporting comapny will
contain somo now faces and a big
week's- business will no doubt como
to tho management.

Treatment of Kid Shoes.
To prevent kid shoes from becom
ing hard and stiff after they havo been

soft cloth Immediately after removing
