Next came Fanny Louise Buckingham and her finely trained horse, James Mellville. They starred in conjunction for three nights in the play of "Mazeppa," supported by the stock company. This was the last performance the writer took part in before leaving for his Denver engagement. There was much more satisfaction in supporting Fanny and her horse than there was in supporting Frayne and his bulldog. Fanny was a beautiful creature, so also was her horse James; and although Fanny couldn't act Mazeppa very well, James did his part splendidly, and Fanny could stick on him in good shape, and James carried her through all right. The following week we were in Denver together, she playing, I rehearsing, so we saw a good deal of each other, and when she parted from us at Denver, she had established a reputation among us for a "jolly good fellow." She loved her horse James Mellville, and she loved a jolly crowd. Next came J. Al. Sawtelle, who had been touring around in Utah and Montana, and put his name up for a performance at the Salt Lake Theatre. As he had only played there one season and had not been there since '74, he was almost a stranger. He played "Rosedale" on March 2nd. On March 5th, Denman Thompson opened a three nights' engagement in "Joshua Whitcomb." The 11th and 12th, Signor Eduardo Majeroni, a very clever Italian actor, played "The Old Corporal" and "Jealousy." On the 14th, Ada Richmond opened for a week, supported by the stock, which also supported the three preceding attractions. On April 4th, 5th and 6th, Haverly's minstrels filled the time, giving the Conference visitors a taste of genuine minstrelsy. The last nights of Conference, 7th and 8th, were filled by the stock, who kept it going until Oliver Doud Byron came in on the 15th and 16th to crave their help "Across the Continent." On the 19th Frank C. Bangs, one of the _big four_ in the "Julius Caesar" production at Booth's theatre, gave a reading entertainment. Why he didn't give a play I don't know, the same old reliable stock was here and had just supported Oliver Doud Byron. The only reason I can assign is that he hadn't time to stay. April 25th and 26th Ada Gray appeared in "Whose Wife?" and "Miss Multon." May 2nd Prof. La Mar, leader of the Fort Douglas Band, gave a band concert. La Mar was a very clever musician and had a fine band; he deserved to be well patronized for he was very accommodating, and volunteered the services of his band on numerous "benefit occasions." On the 7th and 8th Dick Roberts in "Humpty Dumpty;" 13th and 14th, Sol Smith Russell and Rice's Evangeline combination. On the 27th and 28th Harrigan and Hart in "Doyle Brothers," "Old Lavender" and "Sullivan's Christmas." June 14th and 15th, Salisbury's Troubadores. July 15th, Joseph Jefferson in "Rip Van Winkle."
