The Boyd will present a serles of gilt-edged attractions for the next three or four weeks, which must be pleasing to the lovers of first class theatricals. Following Pauline Hall in “Dorcas” comes David Henderson's big company in “Aladdin, Jr." for the last three nights of the present week. Following “Aladdin” come Mr. and Mrs. Kendal, the tamous English stars, presenting ‘‘Lady Clan- carly,” ‘““The Ironmaster’ and a new play.

It abounds in strong| contrasts. There Is plenty of incident, quick- | ness of movement, and so much of the old | time healthy morality that it comes to us as a welcome relief from the play reflective of hothouse passion, of frail Magdalenes and still frailer male types of the same degener- ate class, with which the stage of today is surfeited through the viciousness of a de- vraved taste. The thread of sentiment which runs through the play is one that touches the heart by its sweetness and simplicity, while the plot in the machinations of the villian, in the person of the miser, does nothing but furnish an interesting motive. The characters study true to life, with no attempt at exaggeration, the homely types of the class that are fast disappearing before the onward march of which Henry W. Grady magnificently told us when he drew his graphic picture of “The New South.” The comedy is of a fresh and wholesome kind that wins approval by the force of its quaintness and its throrough originality. There is mo straining after ef- fects, but scene follows scene with admirable sequénce, making a most perfect ensemble, and herein is the chief strength of this drama of contemporary life. The author has lived among the enyiron- ments of a sweet-scented magnolia home. He has absorbed its influences, he has wan- dered over hills and dales of Georgia, he has lived with the raisers of cotton and has loved the charming woman of the south, in short he has woven into a connected whole a dramatic gem, with devotion, loy- alty and courage as the guiding theme, backgrounded with exciting incidents. ~ One of the most amusing features of the per- formances is the pickaninny band, the an tics and gambols of its members before they drift into horn blowing be'ng a very funny picture. Marie Wellesley, the leading light of this excellent play, has such a role in Jennie Dalton, a southern rose, that the piece may easily be sald to be written for her. Her volatile nature, charming simplicity —and warm personality lend to the character a coloring that makes it strikingly effective. Her interpretation of Jennie Dalton, the biind girl, is interesting and art'stic from a dramatic standpoint. “A Summer Blizzard” is announced as the attraction for Thanksgiving week at the Fif- teenth Street theater. This production needs but little mention, as it is thoroughly well known as being without superior as a farce comedy attraction. The company s composed of thirty-one talented and competent artists and is the largest company of its clags on the road. The engagement of Henderson's American Extravaganza company in this city is always an event of much importance in local theatri- cal circles. The spectacle to ba presented at Boyd's Thursday n'ght will be “Aladdin, Jr.”” the new burlesque, which had a five months’ summer run In Chicago. ‘‘Aladdin, Jr." is the perfected result of years of ex- perience in producing spectacles. The music is the work of W. H. Batchelor, musical di- rector of the company, and Georglo Jacobi of the London Alhambra, who composed the ballet music. The book s by J. Cheever Goodwin, —author of “‘Evange- line,” ““The Merry Monarch,” “‘Wang," “The Qolah” and other works of like character. The libretto Is funnier than any pre- vious American extravaganza production. The dialogue, of course, is subservient to the spectacular character of the work, but it more nearly approaches comic opera in its pretentiousness than any of Its predecessore. Of course the scenery and all the scenic effects are from the designs of Frederick Dangerfield, who has mounted most of Man- ager Henderson's productions, and painted by him and his corps of as- sistants. There will be four acts in ‘‘Aladdin, Jr.” and in each act from one to three complete and heavy “sets” of scenery. The first act shows a grand square in Peking, which occupies the full length of the stage The scene represents the morning of the “feast of lanterns.” In the foreground is the -laundry of Widow Bohea, Aladdin's mother; a picturesque tea house stands op- posite, while a little way back s a bridge over a canal. In the perspective may be seen the pagodas, temples and other promi- nent buildings of the Chinese capital. Scene 1 of the second act hows a pretty moonlight landscape view—Echo dell, with the exterior of the mystic cave, where the magiclan directs Aladdin to seek the wonder- ful lamp. The scene changes to the dark- ened interior of the cave, the portal of which is closed by the enraged magician on Alad- din's refusal to hand him the lamp, im- prisoning the hero. He, in despair, rubs the ring the magician had given him, where- upon the genil, the slave of the ring, ap- pears and places himself at Aladdin's orders. Aladdin determines to see some of the beauties of the under world before returning to his home, and the scene again changes to a sunlit garden, the “bubble catcade in the golden glen.” This Is a symphony In am- ber, silver and gold, showing the ‘‘resort of the silver storks.” Four bridges cross the gurgling brook, the waters of which will be resplendent in prismatic colors, as the cascade is one of the big soap bubbles pro- duced by an ingenious process. In this scene takes place the grand “amber ballet The first scene In act three shows the in- terlor of Widow Bohea's laundry, and the second the gardens of the imperial palace In the center of the background stands a pagoda, which, at the magic behest of the owner of the lamp, flies away on the back of the dragon. Act 4, scene 1, shows the magiclan’s palace of ebony and gold on the Nile in Egypt. The treatment of this scene is remarkably fine, Egyptian costumes with fancy bases and caps lending massiveness to the picture. In this scene takes place the barbaric pageant of Abanazar, after which Aladdin recaptures the stolen lamp and there is another fiying trip, “All back to China again.” Then comes the transformation scene, for, of course, a spectacle without a transformation would be like “Hamlet” with the charzeter of the melancioly Dine omitted. » feal wnd Dramatic Notes.

The identical cave in which Encch chipped off the gold with his penknife has been located anew and the dead no longer cherishes a | secret that the living shall never share The untold riches which the wife murderer looked to as a lever to clear him of his sin may now be had for the asking. Only it is all “‘fool gold," that is, iron pyrites. Two gentlemen returned from the eastern part of the territory recently, writes a Salt Lake correspondent, who actually had traced out the famous mine, found it, ex- amined it, and left it. They were E. H Brownell ‘and John McCarty of this city, who have been prospecting for certain Salt Lake parties and incidentally lookng for the Davis dream. They left the city on July 19 last, and only returned a few days ago after ninety days of hard traveling and thrilling | experience. Fortunately for them they were | out for something besides the wife murder- | er's mine, else they would have returned to | their homes crestfallen and d’sappointed. of maps furnished by Enoch Davis and Cass | Hite they penetrated the mountains, found | the ledge and traced it to the cave. At first sight the prophesies of Davis seemed borne out but Brownell and McCarty took the knives and picked off the chunks of “gold” ind bore them .to the light. They were very, very like gold, but they were not gold— only iron pyrites—only “fool gold.” ~With this trifling exception Davis' vision was veri- fied. The hole was there, the ledge leading to it, the conglomerate formation of white | porphyry and all that, ‘but mothing more. It was in the south fork of Dry creek that Mr. McCarty discovered: the famous Enoch Day's mine. The ore inside the cave was | so brilliant that any novice in mining would | have taken it for gold.- - « The fable of Enoch Bavissis but one of those thousands of stories of lest gold mines of immense wealth. It about it, how- ever, the tinge of romance which Is not at- tached to all other yarns. Davls was recently executed for murdering his wife. While under sentence at Salt Lake City, in hopes of prolonging his life, he agreed to disclose the whereabouts of the mine just rediscov- ered, but the whereabouts of which had been lost. Gossip had it that the mine was a dream of gold. Its original discoverer was Edward Rhodes, a California miner in_th days of Brigham Young. Rhode: was a Mor- mon, and submitted at all times to the man- dates of Brigham Youns. When he discov- ered his mine Rhodes told Young of his great riches, as he honestly believed them to be, and asked leave to work the property. This was denled. Young did not doubt the man's story. On the contrary, his actions showed that he believed In them. To let the mine be opened and the stories of its wealth &0 abroad would mean to pour into Utah thousands upon thousands of miners, a fact which Young knew well would carry dis- ruption into his own domain of peace. Not only was Rhodes refused permission to work his mine, but to even tell of its whereabouts. He kept the injunction, and save only to his son, John, Edward Rhodes never spoke a word of where his mine lay. ' Rich it was, he said, eurpassing the comprehensions of men. Gold was there in all jts purity, not in nug- gets, even large ones, but in boulders. With his pocket knife he had chipped some from the main body, and other eyes than his had borne testimony of its commercial genuine- ness. Young Rhodes was not so firm in the Mor- mon faith as his father, and he determined to visit the mine. Enoch Davis went with him. Davis says he did, and there has been nothing to disprove his words. Two men went, but only one returned. Young Rhodes never got back to Salt Lake City whence he had started, being kiled by Indians on the return journey. This was Davis' story. Davis did not tell it at the time he returned to Salt Lake, because, he sald, he was afraid the public might charge him with John Rhodes’ death, However, Davis got back to Salt Lake City and stories of his relocation of the mine leaked out. Not one word of it would he tell. The mine was household talk.in Utah, and when the condemned murderer told his story of the expedition with John Rhodes and offered to conduct a party to the site, & great excltement was created. His offer was refused, however, and he paid the penalty of his crime. e ———— PLAJNS OF TROY. Little Greets the Eye to Tell of Their Past History. The plains of Troy, so famed and flour- ishing in anclent days, arg now barren and desolate. The sculptor sees no statues, the architect no remains, and the painter any- thing but a picturesque view.

Deducting all ex pirations, the paid up membership is 1,40 with ninety applications on file awaiting the | only transaction necessary for enrollment, the payment of the annual fee. The com- | mittee and officers will make a strong effort to close the year with 1,500 names on the roll, and, as things look, will probably do it. One of the strong factors in rolling up this big list has been the evening educational classes. There are now 128 different students in the evening classes, without counting the enrollment in the political economy class the language and music classes and the new debating club of twenty-two members, which is under the direction of A. W. Jeffries. This new feature is swinging into line with a vim that is surprising. Sides are taken and the debates will be largely competitive. Mr. Sutorious has begun his guitar and mandolin club, which meets on Wednesday evening at 7:30. Miss Walker, instructor in German in the High. school, will teach the German class, The association course opens Tuesday even- ing with a monologue entertainment by the popular reader, Mr. E. P.
