through the doors, arched with lights;
into the lobby, fairy-landed with more
lights, right up to tho box office other
Bghts' were flaming into it all flut-
tered and flew Salt Lake's army of
ticket-buying moths. Tho charge oi
the Six Hundred was a picnic cam
H pared to the flight of tho twelve hun
H dred moths who winged their way
H Into the Grand. Inside, the audito
H rium was a bijou of tasteful tints ap-
pealing to' the eye, yet restful. Tho
H entire color scheme suggested what
H may be accomplished when money
H and brains artistically conspire. For,
H while expense has been disregarded in
H the decorations of the Grand, a wise
H management has deliberated upon
H cause and effect as applied to orna
H mentation. Hereafter the moths of
Salt Lake can flitter and llutter at the
H Grand without tho criminal thought
H that their wings aro beating against
the cheap gliding of a ten cent cage.
H After tho moths had buzzed their ap
H preciation around the candles, nnoth
B er agreeable surprise was disclosed.
D Manager Smutzer pirouetted to the
U footlights and made a heart-to-heart
talk one of those "don't throw bo
ll quel talks" that Is fragrant enough.
H It was tho best monologue stunt ever
handed out to a Salt Lako audience.
It wasn't a burst of oloquenco but
somehow It blended eloquently with
the tints, the lights and tho pretty ef-
fects everywhere. Mr. Smutzer may
not have studied his speech charity
vould make denial but there was not
a tailor-made note in his sympohnlc
H wess that did not sound of careful,
H premeditated study. John Drew In
all his panoply of glad rags was ne-er

At the matinee today and perform
anco tonight "Fiddle Dum Doo" Is the
bill. I am told on the quiet that
It Is a sure chaser for the blues.
Down at tho Lyric those gay "Cali
fornia Girls" have been putting the
frivolous San Francisco atmosphere
to tho Main street house. There were
plenty of vaudeville turns Introduced
and a lot of specialties which wore
roundly applauded by tho Lyric pat
rons. No, gentle. reader, tho fair
maids with the "California Girls" are
not from tho Mount Shasta region
that's where tho snow grows and there
was nothing chilly in the plump cho
rus of tho "California Girls" company.
I'll leave it to any fellow who freuent
ed tho bald-headed row.
By the way, the Lyric theatre is to
bo congratulated on getting tho same
musical companies which show In tho
California theatre tho Bush street
house always had a reputation of glv
in the theatrical goods for tho money.
So the patrons of the Lyric may count
on getting shows which bear tho
stamp of San Francisco approval.
That alone Is worth something. Tho
bill at today's matinee, and with the
week beginning tonight is the "Dainty
Pareo' extravaganza company. This
company is fresh from winning laurels
in the big city on the bay. The com
pany appears In the, musical extrava
ganza, "A Merry Bachelor" some
thing said to be full of snap and gin
ger, catchy music and lilt and light
ness. The usual olio contains vaude
ville and singing and dancing special
ties. "The Dainty Paree" chorus Is
said to be one of tho largest and the
handsomest on the road.
"The Jolly Musketeer" will be given
at tho Salt Lake theatre beginning
Sept. 10 and two nights the following
week. Active rehearsals aro being
mado and tho vocal strength of the
chorus will be a feature. An enlarged
orchestra Is also a pleasureablo part
of tho entertainment. In the caste
aro George Pyper, John D. Spencer,
Hugh Dougall. Miss Gates, Miss Em
ma Ramsey Morris, Mrs. Browning
Mrs. Best' and others well known in
musical Salt Lake. "The Jolly Mus
keteer" should have no trouble In re
peating its former wonderful success.
With tho appearance of the "Jolly
Musketeer" at the Salt Lako theatre
tho season will have fairly begun. On
Sept. 20 Beatty Bros.' "Parsifal" pic
tures will bo given, with vocal selec
tions from grand opera. Then follows
Ethel Barrymoro In her famous play
'Sunday."
After the Barrymoro engagement,
Mr Pyper announces tho following
booklnes. all of which appear before
Christmas:
Sultan of Sulu, Chaperons, Florence
Roberts. Tenderfoot, Mmo Hermann,
PcKgy from Paris. Royal Chef, Wil
ton Lacknyo in "The Pit; drl from
Kay's. Buster Brown, Prince of PII
sen, In Old Kentucky. Sho Gun, 1 .jar
rlngo of Kitty. Under Southern Sites,
When Knighthood Was in Flower
Tho College Widow, When Johnny
Comes Marching Home, Way Down
East. Louts James and Ben Hur.
It will bo seen from tho foregoing
that Mr. Pyper will bo qulto busy deal
ing out the theatrical cards-among
horn sovoral aces-and that Salt
Lake lovers of tho stage have plenty
oi good entertainment before them.

Mrs. Browning's Sufferings.
Mrs. Browning wrote most of her
beautiful poems confined to a dark
ened chamber, to which only her own
family and a few devoted friends could
bo admitted, in great weakness and
almost unintermittent suffering, with
her favorite spaniel as her companion.

HIS JUDGMENT AT FAULT.
One Instance Where Balzac Failed as Si
a Graphologist. jp
If there was one thing upon which W
Balzac flattered himself moro than I
another It was his skill In reading I
character from handwriting. I
But he made a sad mistake on one f"
occasion. A lady brought him an ex- I
tract from the exercise book of a 12- flj'
year-old schoolboy, and asked him for 0
an opinion as to tho youngster's char
acter and prospects. Balzac Inquired
whether tho child wns her own. An
swered in the negative, ho examined
tho exercise carefully and delivered
his jndgmnt.
"Madame," he said, "this child Is
thick-headed and frivolous. Ho will
never come to any good. If ho wer6 ,
my child I would take him from school
and put him to tho plow."
Then it was explained to tho novel
ist that the specimen on which ho had
pronounced so severely was one of
his own which had been discovered
hidden away between tho leaves of an
old lesson book.
