ADJUSTMENTS,

Another large audience witnessed the pro
duction Of the play OF Saints and Sinners"
by the Madison Square theater company at
Boyds opera house. The story is familiar to
playgoers generally-a story whose theme IL
not new on the stage or in real life-a story
of woman's weakness and mans deception
told in this drama with a force Of pathos that
strikes to the core of sympathy. Last night
the old minister, Jacob Fletcher, was IN tho
hands of that almost unequalled actor, MIR.
J. II. Stoddard, and it need not be said that
the portraiture OF the pure minded, de-
voted and sorely-tried old preacher
was perfect in every detail The simple act
of this veteran of the stage always holds tho
mirror up to nature, and In nothing moro
completely than in this character. Lefty
Fletcher, the minister's daughter, and the
victim of misguided love, was most accep-
tablv pcrsonated by Miss Marie Burroughs,
while Frederic Robinson, Louis Massen and
+. M. Holland were admirable in their re-
spectlvo parts. The entertainment was
heartily appreciated by the large and discrlm-
mating audience, as it deserved to be, for
certainly no finer production Of this drama
would be possible.
The attraction at Boyds opera house next
week will be the peoples fayorite artistic,
Maggie Mitchell. Miss Mitchell will produce
| a new play on Friday evening called Ray"
| which has been most favorably received
everywhere it has been played in the east.
| The majority Of critics pronounce it tho
strongest play that Miss Mitchell has yet ap-
pcared in. BAY was written for Miss
Mitchell by c. Wallace Walters, ESQ, and
the principal part that Of Ray Golden, is
perfectly adapted TO the clever little artiste's
peculiar powers. 1t is a beautiful romantic
comedy drama, laid in a New England man.
ufacturing village There are many oppor-
tunities afforded for character acting, which
Miss Mitchells clever company makes tho
best Of. On Saturday afternoon "Ray" will
be repeated, and Saturday evening Mis-
Mitchpll and Will Dlay the Old IA

Mrs Langtry opens her season at the new
Grand opera house tomorrow evening in
"As in Looking Glass" The sale OF re-
served seats has been very large, indicating
full house. Mr.. Langtry visited Paris d ur-
ing the past summer especially to have her
costumes made by Worth, the greatest de-
signer of ladies' apparel in the world. In her
opening play she wears five of the hand
soonest dresses that ever left the great artists
hands. She will arrive here this morning
direct from New York IN the LA I.ee," tho

fort, and was built for Mrs. Langtry By the
Mann Boudoir company and cost S@t,Ooo.
Prof Gentry's Canine Paradox will be at
the new Grand opera house on Friday and
Saturday of this week. 1t is the most aston

the air, and Barney are wonderful
A great week is promised at the musee in
the shape of all kinds of babies on exhibition.

general excellence of this popular resort.
Owing to the great hit made last Sunday
night by this celebrated souDrette with tho
German company, Manager Koch has Sc
cured hcr services for this evening again ut

Bile comedy, "Pcchschulze." Mr.. AXtman,
