ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

Miss Lolita in her first appearance IN this
CITY was accorded glorious reception.
Not only was the house well filled; but the
audience expressed most enthusiastically
their hearty appreciation of the perform
ance.
Pawn ticket No 210 is the one given at
"rUncle Harris's" pawnshop in New York
when Mag was pawned by her mother
The $50 with interest not being paid the
pawn remained with Uncle for ten long
wears. The first act opens in the pawn
shop the second is in Mr.. Sternhold's par
lor with Mag acting as ladys
maid, the third is again in
the pawn shop, while the last changes
again to Mr.. Sternhold's, where Mag Is
discovered to be the long lost daughter OF
the master. The play introduces Lolita IN
the character of Mag in series OF sltua-
tions that gives every opportunity to show
how amusing she can be. The pawn shop
idea is a happy one, as it gives her such
varied outfit out of which to heighten the
effects of her mad cap fun; and she lets not
the opportunity pass. for from first to last
she keeps every one in a gala of mirth and
merrimenu. She is Certainly a
wonderful little woman, with the
same hold as in the past upon the
hearts and affections of the people. The
support was of unusual strengthen fact
the company is pronounced the strongest
that I,otta ever had. Uncle Harris" was
a magnificent piece of acting in the skill
full handling of such an artist as Mr.. An
derson. ''.JOhn Sternhold' was we'll done
by Mr.. Harris and Charley SAKE" by Mr..
Scott An exceptionally clever imperson-
ton was that of Montague Flash by Mr..
Boniface. He made great deal of fun
out of the part and by the hearty reception
accorded him by the audience he bids fair
to gain the same high esteem as that in
which his worthy father is held. Mr.
| Hague played the villain constantly and
| well. "Alice Sternhold," by Miss Rich
arlson, .sAunt Dorothy" by Miss Floyd,
and Ruth" by Miss Raymond, were all
deserving of favorable mention.
Tonight will be given the Little Detec-
tive" and there is no doubt but that even
larger audience than on last night will
be presented; for the people of the city ap-
| preciate the fact that it is seldom that they
| have an opportunity of seeing a perform
ance of such merit and excellence.

The New York Times, Sunday, February

principally If we are not mistaken. through

positions quite new TO local audiences was

was wrought by the pianists performance
10 which brief reference was made in these
columns Yesterday The success she
achieved was even more distinct than that
recorded in abiding to her work at the re
hearsal The young virtuoso's execution
is altogether extraordinary: her nervous
mower and endurance are quite equaled by
the absolute precision of her touch, ano
her octave playing-opportunlties 10

infallible force and limitless rapidity to bt
attained by mecanism than the accom-
| nlishments of a woman's wrists and nm
gers.
