ADJUSTMENTS.


satile and artistic at all times, appeared
at Powers Grand last night IN "The
Runaway Wife" Mr.. Rankin has for
years been prominent as 4 character
actor, and in point of versatility it Is
doubtful If there IS his equal on the
stage today. lie gives the same deli
cate, artistic color to Arthur Eastman
as he did year ago; the feeling, the
deep pathos, is al all times suppressed,
and awakes responsive sympathy in
the hearts of An audience, which IS held
and controlled throughout the recital

is supported by Miss Mabel Bert, lady
OF uncommonly fine presence. and a
very careful, conscientious artist. The

lect characters, but Mr.. Olson is indeed
stranger, and in struggling 10 be
understood, gets himself much con-
fused with his native tongue (Swedi ish)
and the English language. His bub-
bling good nature, airy disposition,
make him an easy individual to get
acquainted with, and the audience at
Redmond's, last evening, gave Gus
Heege, who hoimpersonates this character,
a most hospltable reception. Quaint,
fresh and thoroughly unique IN its
originality, Is this Swedish dialect char
acter. Sadie Connolly made the rafters
sound with bold and energetic presen-
tation of Mrs. o. Flannigan, and Jen-
ME Eddy carried Jennie Dimple with
vlvscity and exquisite cunning. The
balance OF the company were entirely
agreeable IN the other parts. Best of
all the comedy is new, and was given
an emphatic Endorsement by the audi
ence last evening. Matinees today,
