ADJUSTMENTS.

A member of Mr.. Carleton's company
was discovered last evening at the opera
house in The Gondolieis in Mr.. Fred
Huntley, who played the role of Luiz,
who is fret "the suite" of the Duke of
Plaza Toro, and eventually the missing
king. Mr.. Huntley has round, clear,
sympathetic baritone voice which slips
easily up to the tenor tones, and which
shows evidence of hard study and culti-
vation. His face is handsome, his
figure good, his stage presence excel
lent and his acting creditable. He has,
above all, or appears to have, the
prime quality of youth, and gives prom
ise of becoming star. On his first ap-
pearance he put himself en- rapport with
the audience, and few as were the re-
quirements of his part he made it most
effective.
The cast is as follows:

Mr.. Carleton, as the duke, was full OF
most taking light comedy business. and

ably. So far, the audiences have seen
and heard too little of this artist-man-
ager, but he will have his innings on
Friday when he will play his old role in
ever delightful Nanon.
Miss Wisdom made a charming
duchess, dressed in most rich costume.
Once in Nanon, II memory serves right,
Miss Wisdom wore the most becoming
Amazon march, in white satin doublet
and hose. 1t is TO be hoped she will
don it again on Friday evening. Her

where they are fully displayed is to be
remembered.
Alice Vincent was sprightly and sang
as tunefully as could be wished. In the
castanet dance scene she was most at
tractive. To few women are given the
qualities both of voice and person such
as Miss Vincent possesses.
Mr.. Fitzgerald and Miss Vincent, and
Mr.. Murray and Miss Lane, presented an
actual scene of very pretty connubial
happiness, as both in the opera and real
life each couple are husband and wife.

Miss Langdon took more prominent
role than she has had before, and sang
it acceptably.
Mr.. Bigelow was irresistably funny,

is infrequently inspiriting. It is pretty,
but once is enough to see and hear it.

The repertoire for the rest Of the week
is: Tonight, Indigo; Thursday, Dor

The pleasant news of the day is that
the Owl club is rehearsing Everybody's
Friend" and that the only Southern
California comedian, Mr.. Martin Leh-
man, is to appear as Major Wellington
de Boots, a iole i'll which he won well
deserved praise on an occasion some
years ago. Mr.. Lehman presents the
rather remarkable combination of an
amateur actor who is as capable as a
professional. The date of February
18th has been selected as the time OF
the performance.
