I , J; 10 GOODWIN'S WBBKLY,
(, 1 1 With the Firt Jighter.
B'j i J ' "THE PRINCE OF PILSEN."
H 1 1 I I ?It is nice to know where you can go occas-
H ' 'I ionally and get a twenty-dollar bill. When you see
H j (l ,i the name of Savage on a theatrical advertisement
Hjlj ! .j 'm arid are assured that the company is first-class,
B ' I sm you needn't go theatrical hungry, because the
H', 1 p'j placard will not deceive you.
H jj i 'There is a freshness and dash about a Savage
H'! ' . production and a well kept air about the stage,
H: j fa tha't makes one hope xor better things from the
H; ft managers of all of the so-called musical comedies,
K i ' i with such companies as we have seen here this
K i ! i season.
' ' ' ost of them have been inexpressibly awful, and
). i v surely it was a relief to see "The Prince of Pil-
I sen' and all of the clever little Pilseners.
si Jess Dandy is as funny as ever. Arthur Don-
jj aldson is funnier, having acquired flesh and an
i f, I accent that is far from becoming. The well known
! songs and dances go with the original vim.
v t Dandy's song, "Imigination," made him work
Bj ,1", harder than at any other time in the evening, and
B'' s a beauty n thought and execution.
H V Mi It was easy to miss Trixie Friganza, for Louise
B I I Willis cannot compare with that young lady in
B f f covering ground, and besides her figure is bad,
fl I but she is not the only principal who takes the
B ' place of one who was better before.
Bj j But "The Prince of PUsen" still remains the best
H ' production of the land that we have seen in the
B j . west, and few things have ever been written that
B I will last 30 long as this well constructed vc-
B j: hide. The chorus is way above par, another relief
B , A is happy face3 and good figures. And this chorus
B 1 1 j j is young.
H; - jl ,d Ida Stanhope, who is the best looking show
Hj ' 11 girl who ever got this far west, and who made a
Hj - ' great hit as the Salt Lake girl in the song of the
H cities, is a fair sample of the beauty that is al-
Hj ways to Defound with a Savage performance.
I '"The Prince of Pilsen," which closes an en
gagement at the Salt Lake tonight, is a great piece
of work in the hands of a well chosen company,
in strange contrast to the brand of fakirs vho
have recently been slipped to us.

Buster Brown and Tige pleased a packed
matinee and three light houses during the first
of the week, and both of them were exceedingly
good. There was much to enjoy in Buster's re
markable line pf talk, and the chorus took ten
minutes at the end of the first act to go through
some very clever maneuvers. But outside of the
boy and the dog and this feature, there were not
many actors on the stage.

"The "White Tigress of Japan" and the May
Howard burlesqucru played to packed houses at
the Grand and the Lyric. The names could be
switched and no one would know the difference,
but what is the difference? Those are the shows
for the two houses. Any time a manager of a
popular priced theatre can't produce blood and
thunder, he must arrange for the red tights, and
U they are also absent it is time to close up.

"America's Greatest Sensation," "Midnight in
Chinatown," will be at the Salt Lake theatre on
Wednesday and Thursday night of next week.
The top price will be ssevnty-five cents, and that
will probably be enough. The picture of a hop
outfit is the principal three sheet in advance of
the show an edifying spectacle to say the least.

George Ade the other night at a dress re
hearsal of his new play, "Just Out of College,"
took occasion to coll the attention of a member
of the cast to the facf that he had failed to
pull down his cuffs at "ulated point in one
of the scenes. "Wait onu jrV shouted Mr.
Ade, prancing out on the stage and putting a
stop to the rehearsal. "Halt right where you are !
Haven't I told you to pull down your cuffs!
Doesn't the book say, 'Pull down your cuffs?'"
"Yes, sir," said the actor. "Well, you haven't done
it!" snapped the playwright. "Your cuffs are away
up around your elbows, aren't they?" "Yes, sir,
they are," replied the actor.. "Well, for the sake
of the divine fitness of things, man, pull
them down! Down! Down! Every gentleman
pulls his cuffs down!" "I think you go too much
by heresay, sir," replied the actor. And the
rehearsal went on.

"Like many another actor and manager," ob
served Lew Fields, as he sat in the box office
of Lew Fields's theatre, "I have now and then had
an impoverished player just back from a stranded
company endeavor to negotiate a small sight loan.
There is one actor, however, who stands out
brightly in my memory as the most resourceful
chap in this respect I have ever encountered. It
simply became a habit with him to ask for a few
dollars as I was passing the stage door. Finally
I, myself, fell into a habit of telling him I didn't
have any spare cash on hand. This scheme worked
well for a while, but as I was beginning to think
I had won out, he walked up and said: 'Old man,
I want to send a little money away in a letter.
Give me a check for ten for this $10 bill.' I drew
the check and handed it to him, but as I was
putting his greenback in my pocket, he exclaimed:
'By the way, that leaves me strapped. Lend me
the ten, will you?' Yes, sir, when it comes to
resourceful men I'll back him against the world!"
Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale re- N
turned recently from a trip abroad on a steamer II
too crowded for comfort. On the ship with him I
was a Harvard professor, who was not at all I
pleased with the conditions aboard. The third I
morning out, the Harvard professor learned that
a woman in the crowded second-class cabin had
given birth to a child the night previous. At
breakfast he imparted the news to Professor
Phelps. "Good work, doctor! Good work!"
chuckled the wit of Yale. "Another berth in the
second cabin."

more votes and grinds less leather, hence he needn't stop
