ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew and their
company of players appeared to an audi
ence that was small but enthusiastic
last night at the Grand opera house. As
| curtain raiser Grundy's charming one.
act play, In Honor Bound, Mr.. and Mrs.
Drew and Mr.. Payne and Miss Sykes in
the quartette of characters introduced,
made an admirable impression. giving a
short but realistic chapter from the
book of experience ii the world oi
| fashion.
The farcical play, That Girl from
Mexico, while much of an exaggeration
is withal mirth-provoking. 1t is in the
nature of a farce comedy. and will rank
| with the Hoyt skits. To those who like
to laugh, That Girl from Mexico
will be attractive. Mr.. and Mrs
Drew are clever in their respective lines
and Messrs. Norris, Payne Harold,
Campbell, Horton and Nichols, and
Misses Sykes and Thompson in their
particular roles, acquitted themselves in
| very satisfactory manner. That Girl
From Mexico will be repeated tonight.

other southern dances and general

The Ellen Beach Yaw farewell con-
cert at the Simpson Tabernacle was a
great success in every respect, and the
beautiful and spacious building was
packed to overfowing, Messrs. Stamm,
Romandy and Bierlich, piano, violin
and cello, rendered op. 40 Allegro Assai
Appassionato, from Mendelssohn),
which was enthusiastically applauded.
Miss Letha Lewis displayed her talent
as an elocutionist, which was also highly
appreciated by all present.
The Quintette club came in for their
share of encores, treating the audience
to several selections from Mascagni and
Rubenstein. Jacob Mueller, the great
baritone, enjoys the possession OF a
voice which il second to none, and was
called back twice each time, and still
was compelled to bow his recognition.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw was fairly COW
cred with flowers, and there were none
present but expressed themselves
well paid for attending. Miss Yaw has
a wonderful voice and it is accompanied
by such beautiful facial expression-so
calm, gentle and soft-which adds effect
to her sweet tones. A great future is
predicted for this singer, whom Ange-
lef1os would be very glad to know always
as Los Angeles songstTess.
Miss Yaw leaves soon for Oakland,
where she will sing one night; thence
to San Francisco, where she will sing
two nights. From San Francisco she
returns to New York, whee she has a
better field for her musical talent.
