ADJUSTMENTS
CRAWFORD GRAND.


Miss Lizzie Evans last evening closed
her engagement at the Crawford by the
presentation of the romantic comedy Our
Angel" There was good attendance
and the performance met with very cor
dial reception from the audience.
The next attraction at this house will be
T. J. Farron, in Soap Bubble, Satur-
day night Of this farce the Utica, n. Y,
Observer says:
T. J. Farron and his excellent ''Soap
Bubble company made decided hit in
Jacob & Proctor's opera house last eve
ming. The audience was an apDreciative
one and was kept in a roar all the evening
Lessee Proctor, of the opera house, with
Manager Chenet, sat through nearly all of
two acts of the play, and none laughed
heartier than they did. Mr.. Farron is one
of the men who has laughed and made
laughter nearly all around the world and
he is still travelling as merry, young and
musical as ever. While he is the star
of the company, he gives all his
people an equal chance to display their
talents, gifts and power to please
L. j. Connolly, 'the detective who never
detects" is very, very funny as the barber
and original in his general butiness and
very good in his topical songs. Messrs.
Swartz, Rowland. Rawlins and Mack each
GO their share TO please In action, Vocailsn
and fun. The Soap Bubble" quartette
was recalled three times, as it deserved, for
its singing is excellent. Dolly Dodge is
pert, pretty, an excellent singer and
dancer and pleasing in every way. Miss
Virginia Rosa is good singer and pleas
ing lady, while Miss Florence Germaine
does excellent business and is IA good
singer. The barber shop scene alone is
funny enough to make one laugh for a
week No one should miss the Soap
at any time and begin laughing. This
afternoon Mr.. Farron and company are
making the orphans happy, with hundreds
of the school children and many older
