I The able dramatization of Ian H MacLaren's stories of Scotch life, It 'The Bonnie Brier Bush," with the V gifted player, J. H. Stoddart, as Lach- j an Campbell, comes to tho Salt Lake ; theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, Jan. 23, 24, 25; matinee Wed- nesday. "The Bonnie Brier Bush" is an exposition in four acts of somo of tiio most interesting features ana strong dramatic Incidents of tho book and mainly treats of the bcotch marriage" entered into by ,'.0.ra Campbell and Lord Hay.

Reuben Fax, who has been identified with the leading come dy role, Archibald MeKlttriek, tho vil lage postman, continues with the com pany, as do many others who will bo remembered from previous indenta tions. Tho scenery is painted from sketches of tho exact localities, in cluding views of tho interior and ex terior of Campbell's cottage and the glens of Drumtochty. When J. H. Stoddart first appeared as Lachlan Campbell in "The Bonnie Brier Bush," he won high and un grudged praise as did the piny. Alan Dale, whoso caustic pen has made many an artist smart, said in tho Now York Journal: "I don't suppose thorp is another living actor who could do such marvelous work as Mr. Stod dart does as Lachlan Campbell in 'Tho Bonnie Brier Bush.' It is reallv quite wonderful. Nobody can afford to miss seeing this actor." Mr. Stoddart announces this as his farewell tour in this very successful play, which makes this tho Inst oi portunlty to see him in a character that will live in the memory of theatre-goers for many years. Tho setting of tho "first part," with the popular West's Minstrels this sea son, is spoken of with more than the usual admiration given this feature of a minstrel programme, The set ting is declared to bo quite elaborate, the colors cerise and gold, harmon izing wonderfully in tho general ef fect. It is also claimed, and admitted on all sides, that Manager Ricaby has outdone all his former efforts in the organizing of a company and putting together an entertainment that Is considered quite remarkable for its intrinsic merit and artistic thorough ness. With constant attention to the wants of his patrons, and tho progres sive and liberal management always displayed by Manager Ricaby, lt Is not to be wondered at, that tho name of West minstrels is always accepted as a positive guarantee to tho lovers of minstrelsy tho country over. The principal comedians this season, are: Tom Mack, Geo. S. Wade, McDovltt & Kelly and hosts of others, whose names stand for tho best In minstrel sy. A special feature. Is tho recent engagement of Frederick V. Bowers, tho famous singer and author of "Be cause" and "Always," and many other popular songs. Mr. Bowers will pro sent his great scenic singing sensa tion, which was for 20 weeks tho star feature of Kiralfy's great Louisiana Purchase spectacle at tho St. Louis Fair, will bo presented oro at Salt Lake Theatro on Thursday afternoon and night. A twenty-flvo cent school matlneo on Thursday will bo a new feature. Tho question has often been asked as to what It Is that makes tho min strel form of entertainment appeal so strongly to all classes of theater-goers and has established lt as tho most popular of all Indoor classes of amusement and recreation. Perhaps the answer Is not hard to givo. Nothing is witnessed In a reputable up-to-date minstrel performance, but what appeals to tho oyo, car and fan cy. Fun, frolic and fantasy, music and mimicry aro tho component parts of a first-class minstrel performance. Tho time spent in witnessing one of theso popular entortainmonts is a bettor investment for health and hap piness than could bo acquired in the money and timo given for a half doz en visits from tho doctor or in a bar rel of medicine. Tho oyo is pleased at tho sight of tho merry black faces, tho rich costumes, tho elegant fur nishings and tho olaborato appoint ments of tho first part. The ear is tickled and one's sense of humor Is aroused at the bright wit, repartee and jokes of tho clever comedians. Laughter, wonder and surprise follow in quick succession In witnessing tho many individual specialties and col lective features presented by tho dif ferent artists comprising tho mem bership of a llrst-class company. -no gicat feature this season whle.i Manager Ilicaby offers his patrons is no less than Frederick V. Bowers, tho famous author of "Becauso" and "Al ways" and many other world famous songs. It Is safo to say that there are very few pianos in America that has not ono or more of Mr. Bowers songs on It. This great singer and author was for 2G weeks tho star fea ture of Kiralfy's great Louisiana Pur chnso spectacle at the St. Louis Fair. Melba has a positive disllko for In terviewers. Sho is never discourteous or Imperious toward nn intorvlowor who is sent by his paper In quest of a stoiy, but sho evades, In a polite way, tho scribes who nssall her when ever sho can. Sho tolls a story of ono, a bright chap, of quick wit and lordly ways, who had insistently pursued hor while In New York by mall and mes senger and pcrspnnl application, for an interview on her life. Ho was re ally mi engaging fellow, hut sho had not found the time to toll him or hor llfo, as her hours wore taken nn in studying tho roles of a number of characters sho was to sing during tho grand oporn season then begun. Aftor a hard day's work, lato ono afternoon, sho was about to leave her hotel for a drlvo through Central Park, when sho met tho reporter near tho exit. He was beaming nnd unctions In gioetlng, and said, as ho drew a nolo book from his pocket: "Ah, Madaino, a propitious moment, now toll mo tho story of your life, please." "I was born In Australia. Tho most alarming thing that ever liapponcd to mo was, when a girl, I stepped on a harmless snake In a gnnlon In Mel bourne. That covers everything of thrilling interest In my life." Mel ba said, as sho glided out of tho door, hurried into her carrlago and was gone. Next day she read an oloquent col umn interview, and sho learned things sho had novor gnown before. "Mmo. Melba received mo graciously, etc. Sho was radiant In conversation and delightfully cntoitnining, etc. at ai early ago sho gave no ovidonco of possessing an extraordinary voice. That was discovered by accidont, when, ono day In Australia, sho step ped on a monstrous python that lay dormant In a flower bed. Thnt mo ment her voice discovered Itself, and eventually sho became tho greatest i vocalist of a deendo." iy (Ready refcronco: Pythons don't K grow in Australia any more than do mocking birds In Iceland). H Melba sings in tho Tnbornaclo next Friday evening. Tho nudlonco will bo ono of tho lnrgcst In years and a great muslcnl treat may bo looked for.
