ADJUSTMENTS

I
see for the first time in Washington Bill Nve's
wild west show, or dramatic masterpiece 1.-THE
Cadi-" The Cadi' is a three-act chapter from
The life OF Hon.-JudGe- CommissionerN Notary
Pub,ic-Irusteo-P Postmaster Nye of Laramie,
WyO-. and it is the product OF Mr.. Nye's
think-tank Il 10 consequently funny. Not as q
play. possibly. for even yet it is not that. but
az quaint conceit q continuity of'-humor,
with sprinkling OF wit TO sparkle it bit.
Nobody bat Nye could write such production
successfully. and this one has been n success
from the start. There is but little plot
apparent. and for that reason THE Cadi''
would make fine framework fori q comic
opera. but The Cadis talk IN his numerous of
fcial positions makes audience laugh in
spite of itself. and with that deep sort of a
| laugh which people like to laugh over again.
| That's what makes The Cadi' a success. Mr..
Dustan, who is The Codi, &c. is in makeup
Nye 20 perfection ard he carries the part as
naturally aud gracefully as Mr.. Nye ever did in
| the Wyoming wilderness. Miss Maggie Deane 8
| CrouPy DdJJed was favorite. and Miss Collier,
| Miss Goidthwaiic and Mr.. Mack came next
! Mr.. Parker's Indian was good, but as y swell
New orker he was as II success emaciated in
the extremc-both extremes, in fact Musically
speaking the Cadi quartet of coiored men
was'ar encorious success and Mr.. Dustan y
''frodi6ai Son was another. Some new sorgs
might be added to the repertoires of the other
vocniists with marked advantage. In the
meantime go hear The Cadi" Again tonight.
| NArIoSAL TEEATER--Ihe idea upon which
! ''Niobe' is founded is by no means new, but
| the treatment OF the story is untrue in the ex-
trome, and the brothers Paulton have succeeded
in evolving fantastic comedy that Is excruciat-
| ingly funny. Tho Niobo of Ihebes whom the
| gods turned into stone, has been bought by Il
rich New York lover Of art. who bas had the
| statue insured III the company OF which Peter
Eann (Mr- George E,!eson) is prcsi-
| dent U,lra takes the statuo 10 his
houso for better security and in
making electric light connections the work
men tw;ne wires around the feet Of the statue,
which becomes endowed with life steps off her
pCLiea tai and not only sstonishes Ututt, who is
/ the only person present at the time. but puts
HIM 70 deal Of trouble 10 account for the
| presence OF another woman In the house. The
| COMPLICATIONS that arise over his explanations
\ together with the mystification OF beautiful
| woman whose only knowledge was acquired 8 900
yearsago, at suddenly finding herself III the busy
| city of New York in the nineteenth century,
furnish the fun of the last two acts and keep
| the audience in a continual roar. The company
is well balanced and each member enters fully
into the spirit of the piece. Messrs George
| Edeson and Chas Coote sustain the burden of
| the comedy. receiving good assistance from
Messrs. buchanan and Germain Miss Isabelle
Coc as Mode is very effective. She is beau
| tiful woman and an accomplished actress.
| Miss Fitzpatrick did excellent work as the
| strong minded sister-in-law and Miss Jessie
Story made bright and impuisive ingenue.
/ Misses Bert Hail. Stoffer and Hamilton were
attractive to look at and effective in their work.
/ The play is wei mounted, is clean and whole
| some, and furnishes fun without any uneom-

of the company fill their roles in a crisp, CON

| HAIRS BiJoU THEATER.-"His Nibs the
Baron" was given at Harris Biiou Theater last
| night in a manner that proved eminently salts
factory to Il large audience. The play is built
| on the principles that regulate legitimate
| comedy That is to say, it has plot that is
developed with logical consistency. But quite
enough OF the elements of song, dance and
speciality are introduced to give it the title of
farce comedy which il bears on the pr ograul
The complications arise through the fact that
master and his valet are mistaken each for the
other, while the same situation Details a cham

| appears in his character impersonation of
Patsy Brannigdn; Jas. f. Quinn in Aunt
| Bridget, the Royal Star Quartet, Mario Clay
| ton in vocal selections and Lo:tie Winnets in
