Adonis.
So changeable is DiXey, so many new
things does he introduce at every per-
Torrance, that it is extremely difficult
to say what he is going to do. Even
the members of the company cannot tell
what is coming half the time, for Dixey' s
wit and versatility lead him to introduce
a new line or a new caper at the most
inconceivable time. But his songs and
dances and his lightning changes are
always applauded, and people who have
once seen "Adonis" come again ana
again. The company supporting DIXey
is one of the best ever associated With
him. Carrie Perkins, as the Merry Lit
tie Mountain Maid, and Ed Chapman as
her father, the miller, are excellent and
the beauty of Miss Belle Thorne and
the delightful singing of Miss Irene
Verona are well worth coming long
way to enjoy. Every thing about the play
is up to date and all the old features
which have been retained are only the
best. "Adonis," is better than ever, is
the general verdict. Adonis will be
given afternoon and evening at City Hall
next Thursday, Washington's birthday.
