GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 15 H
Orpheum during the season. Robinson Newbold
and Louise Griffin, said to be "comedy stars,"
were supposed to sing and impersonate. The
impersonations were unrecognizable, Newbold's
Percival Knight and Raymond Hitchcock being
his worst attempts, while Miss Gribbin's efforts
were sadder than the susurrations of the sounding
sea. There are no headliners on the bill most
of them tale enders, and apparently need the
vacation which they will get with the closing
of the season. The new vaudeville season opens
the latter part of July, and the management
announces the booking of many big acts which
hvae not been seen In the west before.
Monday of the coming week will find all of
L the resorts in and about town open for the ensu
ing summer season.
The changes in most of them are slight,
though considerable money has been spent in
freshening Up the amusement features and per
fecting arrangements for three nionths of heavy
patronage. Saltair opens today with the same
train service as last summer. The Salt Palace
is open and Wandamere and the Lagoon swing
back the gates early next week.
THE RACING MEET.
The Lagoon Fair and Racing association sends
the first field of ponies under the wire the after
noon of Tuesday, May 30, and according to the
present intentions of the promoters of the event
the meet will continue for the following forty
days.
"The new mile track that has been construed
lies midway between Salt Lake and Ogden and
" just adjoining the Lagoon. It is unquestionably
one of the finest racing courses in the western
country and a good deal of money has been ex
pended in putting it in shape for the coming
races. An immense amount of stable room has
been provided and the grandstand facilities are
excellent.
From all indications the meet will bring a big
out-of-town following here and a large number
of horses are already quartered at the track pre
paring for the opening next Tuesday. From the
size of the investment that has been made at the
I ne,w track Utah is evidently regarded by the
) .horsemen as their last profitable stand in the in-
termountain and western states, in -fact in the
entire country, ' ,
DISCONSOLATE JIMMY BRITT. "p
"I have just received a private tip from dear
ole Lunnon that Jimmy Britt, fawnciest of the
fawncy, is wasting away with grief and may never
be knocked out again," says the l oclator in
Town Talk. "I am told that when Jimmy ventures
abroad he leaves a trail of tears from Hyde Park
Corner to Rotten Row and from Piccadilly to Ox
ford Circus. They say that his gusty sighs can
be heard from the Marble Arch to the Charing
Cross and that the Beefeaters in the Tower can see
his bosom heaving in faraway Green Park. Word
comes that the Serpentine is swollen with his weep
ing and that the Thames has turned salty from
his lachrymal downpour. The Trocadero has no
delights for him; nor Romano's nor Frasscattl's
can tease his appetite with tempting viands. And
well may Jimmy mourn, for Neva Aymar jilted
him. She has jilted him for a bloomin' jockey
at that! Last season Neva Aymar was the most
popular American player In the London music
halls. She was considered by the Johnnies the
dearest dear of Joe Hart's "Rain Dears." Among
those who courted her smile was the Hon. Lieu
tenant Norman Dunbarton, owii son to an earl
no less. U
But Jimmy Britt, plumber among prize-fighters r
and prize-fighter among plumbers was the lad to
win her heart. They became engaged and Jimmp's
cup of happiness was pretty nearly full. But there
came the traditional slip. Winnie O'Connor ap
peared on the scene and began winning races at
Epsom Downs, races on which Neva Aymar won
a pot of money. After Winnie had ridden home
a long shot which he had induced Neva to back
heavily, she admitted to Britt that her heart was
wavering. Just about that time Jimmy signed to
fight Johnny Summers, the English lightweight.
That was a strategic blunder. The training took
him away from Neva and gave Winnie O'Connor
clear field. When Jimmy won for he did win
he went to Neva to be congratulated and learned
that she as engaged to Winnie. She told him
the marriage ould take place as soon as Winnie
could secure a divorce. Winnie secured the di
vorce and the marriage took lace in a little town
near Paris where Winnie was riding. And when
ever Jimmy thinks of the perfidy of "the Rain
Dear" he sobs beneath his breath, "It is not rain
ing to me, it's raining orange blossoms," where
upon he weeps some more."
Stick to Stickney's.
The Same Consideration
The child with its penny savings bank,
The small boy with his small change,
The lady with her pin money savings,
The small man with his small roll,
The big man with his big roll,
are each accorded the same considerate attention and extended the most liberal treat
ment consistent with good and profitable banking.
