AT THE THEATERS.

A very good audience, with respect to
both size and responsibility. greeted
Minnie Maddern at the Hennepin Ave
nue. theater last night in Caprice"
The story is familiar and needs no out
line at this time. Miss Maddern was
captivating. The peculiar charm of
her manner was never more strongly
felt. In that simple little play, without
stirring scene or striking incident,
she develops winning grace
and a naturalness of style that
are facinating. Everything she
did or said, was done or said just right,
ence in that condition that everything
provoked applause. 1t is her utter
abandon of self and perfect freedom
from affectation that underly her sue
cess and make her popular. With some
very good people, the cast is not a
strong one, and the exceptionally good
members are powerful allies, and the
play is success. The same bill will
be given tonight.
The DAM concerts in Harmonic hall

George Wadleigh, the long lost bust
ness manager for Henry E. Dixey, ar
| rived in the city yesterday and thawed
out his ears in an inside room of the
West. George came in from Omaha
| and had the experience of being snow
bound.
Said he: ''I'm glad to get into real
| town again; all the way from Kansas
City to Minneapolis the gaze struck
| huge SnOwbankS of quaint and fantas-
tic form, which at times recOiled from the
pink and blue stocking chorus girls of
'AdoniS.' The snow was immense
and so are our girls. You want to
know something about 'Adonis' Dixey
thing, as / left Kansas City after the in
cident occurred, but will state in loud
tones that 'Adonis' played five weeks
in San Francisco to wonderful business,
| far surprising in receipts anything that
| has been at the Baldwin theater for
| years. Mr.. DiXey is in the best of spir-
| its and health, and, in fact, so are all
the company. 'Adonis' will repeat it's
| success here as elsewhere"
The sale of seats for "Adonis" went
| very briskly to-day at the Grand
| opera.
Brothers Edward E. Price and Henry
E. Dixey will attend the social session
of the ElkS next Sunday night.
One of the dramatic events of the sea-

notwithstanding the cold weather an
| other large audience witnessed the per-
Torrance of Lied Astray' at the Peo-
pies theater last evening. The only
matinee in the city will be given at that
theater this afternoon at 2.
After a performance of Held By the
Enemy" a few weeks in Denison, Tex,

Bawkett, who plays the spy in that COM
pany, was carried through the town
upon the shoulders of a number of
enthusiastic Southerners. The COM

markably successful play at the Grand
opera house for six nights and matt
