ADJUSTMENTS.

/
A. Mackay az the stellar attraction, began theiI
engagement at the Grand last night, and made a
very favorable impression. The musical absurd
ity in which they appear is called IA Bottle OF
Ink" and the first act would be stupid if it were
not for some funny gags and business. The sec
ond act, however, is highly entertaining con-
sisting as it does of some excellent music and
good specialties, and the introduction incident
ally of a scene from the ''Princess Ida" n trav-
esty on "Pygmalion and Gaatea,T and a scene
from the burlesque 'Orpheus and Eurydice. 3"
Mr. Mackay, who is versatile and original
comedian, is the life of the piece, and his nita-
tons of distinguished actors and speciaties are
particularly funny. The young ladies of the
company are attractive, so far as personal APP
pearance is concerned. and good singers. Miss
Ida Mule, tho Cupid is particularly pretty
graceful and clever, and Miss Hattie Starr, who
had much more to do last night than is usually
allotted to her, showed herself to be versatile
performer, and strikingly good vocalist. The
other parts were creditaby assumed by Charles
f. Lang. the opera singer, George Schiller j.
d. Angeles, Miss Edith Jennes, pretty girl
Miss Bonnie Runnels and others. The perform
ance was given in excellent style and there was
much laughter and applause. The company is
clever, gives bright and enjoyable entertain
ment, and deserve patronage. 1t will appear
again tonight, tomorrow afternoon and to-mor
row night.
THE MONARCH MUSEUM.
Several thousand people visited the Museum
yesterday, the great attraction being Krao, ''the
missing link The survivors of the Greedy ex-
petition, who were at Kansas City last week,
could not get here in time to begin their engage
ment yesterday, but will be on hand to-day. A
very entertaining stage performance is given,
including Zanfretta, the wire-walker little Ella
Lewis, wonderfully good singer for one of her
years, the Holdsworths, in a musical act the
Leander Quartet, four colored men. who
made great hit with their negro melodies, the
Ellsworth zouave children, St Clair a double
voiced singer, and Frank and Mabel Hall in a
comedy sketch. The Museum will be open all
this week from 1920 o'clock in the morning until
10 o'clock at night. Krao is evidently a great
card.
