ADJUSTMENTS,

city for the first time. at the operG
House last evening, Its movements are
quick, its wit spontaneous and acted by
q company OF bright and clever people,
II caught the sympathies OF the large
and apprcciatiye audience which filled
the house. Mr.. Hallen's dancing drew
down the house and Joe Harris brilliant
versatility, and his banjo work made Q
decided hit. Tho usual chorus Of pretty
girls who always 90 with these skitS
wore unusually attractive.

might be said, sensational and having a
strong plot and being skillfully con-
