ADJUSTMENTS.

1t is pleasing little performance
which is given by the Wilkie Operetta
company. The Los Angeles theater last
evening did not contain a large audience
but those who were there enjoyed each
number.
The operetta is harmonious, pretty
trife. and was we'll rendered, Miss
Thorne and Miss Roma, as far as the
acting was concerned, both excelling
their associates. Miss Tborne's arch
ness and coyness lent considerable life
to the affair, which is so slight in con-
struction as to require the utmost deft-
ness to keep it from becoming common
place. This young woman has an
effective simplicity of method and a
charming stage presence, which, to-
gether with very sympathetic, express
sive voice, and some evident natural
talent as an actress, would seem to
qualify her for successful appearance
in comic or light opera.
Mr.. Wilkes splendid voice is as clear
and effective as when he last appeared
here, some three years ago, and he rem
dered all his numbers most satisfac-
torily. His Love Is Gone a Maying"
was indeed exquisitely sung; in all his
numbers he was more than pleasing and
won the appreciation OF the audience.
Miss Roma's clear, forcible soprano
was deliciously true. This is said to be
her first appearance as professional; if
such is the case she deserves
great credit. Her voice is naturally
excellent and evidences the most fin
ished culture.
Mr.. Porter sang we'll, and as D'Albert
filled the part satisfactorily.
Tonight the company will repeat
Widows Bewitched, together with Bal
fe's Sleeping Queen. The performance
is one which all who like good music
will enjoy.

Dramatist and author are more happily
blended in A. G. Gunter than in any OF
MS contemporaries. Whether repro
iucing a play from a popular novel, as
n the case of Mr.. Barnes, of New York,
'r novelizing play and giving to the
world a most entertaining story, Mr..
Junter seems equally at home. 1t is
lot generally known, though true, that
Mr. Potter, OF Texas, which is soon to be
presented at the Opera house on Tues
lay: was originally written as o comedy
lrama, but the unexpected success OF
dr. Barnes, of New York, his first novel,
reated such demand for Gunterian -
tories that Mr.. Gunter re-wrote his a
lay in narrative form. Mr. Joseph
Vheelock, who will be seen as Mr.. Pot
er, of Texas, was the leading man in
IAN Frohman's Madison Square theater
ompany when Mr.. Potter, of Texas,
as cast at that house for production
Inc years ago. lG is ratner strange
oincidence that Mr.. Frank Sanger
lould now select Mr.. Wheelock for the q,
art, and if eastern critics are to be
,lied upon, and they usually are, neither
-r. Frohmann or Mr.. Sanger erred in
leir judgment OF Mr.. Wheelock's q
lpabilities.
