ADJUSTMENTS.

Friday and Saturday evenings of this
week, at the Metropolitan Theater.
Willard Sponsors comic and spectacular
opera will be presented by company
and orchestra of fifty-two people. When
the opera was given here before it
achieved success, winning popular ap-
proval as brilliant and merry means of
entertainment. 1t will be remembered
that the opera opens on the deck of
steamer from Europe. with General
Knickerbocker and his daughter Violet
among the passengers. Barry, her lover;
Ready, a rapid young American; Lord
Dolphin, a titled aristocrat; Teddy, his
valet; Miss Hurricane, Boston school,
marin, and Dolly Dimple, Violet's conf
dante. 1t is her fathers desire that Violet
shall wed the nobleman, but she prefers
Barry, and Ready aids her in outwitting
the father and achieving her own desire.
The second act is in the Knickerbocker
villa, where the lover disguises as
the nobleman and the real lord is
shown out and the spurious one
welcomed. The General, however,
wltted by the lover of Violet, who poses
as the Great Tycoon, and aided by col
lege friends, SO imposes upon the General.
who consents that Violet shall become
the Little Tycoon. When the deceit is
confessed the General yields because of
the wit and persistency of his daughters
lover. The San Francisco CAL SAYS of
the piece: 6 The Little Tycoon is one of
the prettiest light operas on the stage.
There is no Disgusting the fact that ''The
Little Tycoon" is not only tunefill and
taking, but rests on a broad foundation
of originality. There is no Disgusting
the fact that in costuming the opera the
composer has shown artistic taste and a
keen sense of the proprieties. There is
no Disgusting the fact that the business is
clever and delightfully."- lively. The pow
erty of the Hbretto, which, by the way.
is more apparent than real, is a fault that
in these disappointing days can be easily
overlooked" The Omaha Bee has this
opinion of the opera. Apart from its
merit, which is very decided, as tuneful
and amusing production The Little Ty-
COON is superior to most other works of
its class in being entirely free from the
slightest suggestion of indelicacy which
might offend the most fastidious. 1t at
tests that thoroughly pleasing enter
without feature Objectionable to the
most refined taste" The sale of seats
will begin at the Metropolitan Theater to-
morrow morning.
