Excerpt from The Drama in Utah: The Story of the Salt Lake Theatre The main facts in this compilation were prepared for an address delivered before the Cleofan Society of Salt Lake City on January 27, 1915, and printed in the Improvement Era in four parts the same year. A number of friends having suggested that the data gath ered, especially the names of those who took part in early theatricals, the plays and the various dates given were of sufficient importance to justify their being preserved, it was decided to group the four parts of the address and to issue them in the present form. If a perusal of the narration affords but a small part of the pleasure the author felt in preparing it, he will feel more than repaid.
