ADJUSTMENTS.

"New York Day by Day" was pro-
duced last night at the Clunie Opera
house by the stock company. 1t is a
sensational play in the broadcast sense of
the word as interpreted by the patrons of
the old Bowery Theater, where, by the
way, a great deal more of good art work
was seen than hegeneral public has been
led TO believe. ''New York Day by Dayn
/ is full Of the tragic in low life; replete
with plots and wrongs and the struggles
OF the oppressed against the Vaccinations
| OF the unscrupulous and the assaults OF
ruifians for hire and cut-throats for pay.
| Georgia Waldron does herself great
credit in the part of the gentle blind girl;
IL is touching personation. Jennie
! Calef surprises her admirers by the many
DISCUSSES she assumes and the activity
ana spirit she throws into the play.
larry Ledley, the new leading man,
proves desirable acquisition. He is slight
IN figure but strong in dramatic vigor,
and we prophesy for him success here.
Mr.. Sambrooke reappears and has the
part OF the ruftian OF the play. Andrew
WaldrOn and Frank Bacon have the low
comedy work and do it faultlessly. Miss
Weldmau has difficult role, one full Of
labor and demanding painstaking and
great care. Sne exhibits the skill and
IN the manner in which she depicts the
horrors of remorse and the terrors of u
reproving conscience. Mr.. Cooley is the
villain of the play and as coldly calcu-
latlng as the demand of the role requires.
Miss Powers, Miss Calef and Mr.. Wal
dron sing nicely, and Ethel Grant
does some excellent fancy dane
ing. She was thrice deservedly
recalled last night. MIR. Duran in the
irEt apt friv- Of
New YORK harbor from the Battery-a
bit OF painting creditable to any theater
IN the land. So, too. his Harlem bridge
by moonlight, and snow scene, are fine
and wholly new. Among the sensations
OF the play are the introduction OF po-
lice patrol wagon, and of a three-seated
| fancy sleigh drawn by two spirited horses
with jingling sleigh bells. The play was
well acted and we'll received throughout.
1t is of the Bowery order, and has some
glarlng Inconsistencies in minor details.
but for all that 1t requires as good work,
as much of real art to present such Il
drama, as it does to give very many that
move upon lofty plane. The play will
be repeated tonight.
At the Congregational Church this
evening the Kinross Club makes its first
| appearance under that title. 1t is COM
posed of fifty of the best male voices of
the old Choral Society, and this concert
is given TO keep the contract Of that So
clety with its subscribers. For such seats
as remain charge is made. But the club
is not organized to give concerts for
money. Its aim is to cultivate the local
musical talent and have body ready at
hand to do credit TO the city in vocal
music when the need is. The club will
give line programme tonight, and will
be assisted by Z. j. Dunster, pianist, Miss
Llda Peltier, contralto, and a quartet
composed OF Mrs. Kinross, Mrs. Ross,
Mrs. Hawley and Mrs. Howard. Mr..
kinross will be director. The programme
is quite too long to print, under exigen-
cies of space, at this time.
| At Pommer IL Neale's Steinway Hall
! tonight there will be Mansfield recital,
with a LisZt programme. A nominal
/ charge for admission is made, A very
artistic entertainment is assured those
| present.
On the 2lst inst, at the Metropolitan
Theater, the celebrated actress, Helena
| Modjesza, will appear as Mary Stuart,
| Queen of Scots. She will be supported
| by Otis Skinner and the same caste that
appeared with her in Chicago in March,
| to wit: Anna L. Proctor, Hannah E. Sar-
! geant, Maud Durbin. Julia Larned and
| Pamela Keith, and Guy Lindsey, How
ard Kyle, Charles Collins, Wadsw orth
| Harris, w. S. Morris, Il. 2. Carter, g. G..
! MCGEE, F. Guest and Harry Vincent.
Several Of these people are known here
and have had the approval OF Sacramento
/ audiences. 1t is wholly unnecessary to
indulge in words in speaking of Mod
! jeska. Her rank as an artist is estab-
/ lished in Europe and America, and it
| gives her place among those who are
| first. The boX-sheet for her engagement
is open at the office of the Clunie Opera
house. 1t is as well to note that the play
is to be mounted with the same scenery
used in the production of the drama in
| Chicago, and that the costumes are of the
best order and after the most approved
| historical models.
Miss Aimee Murrels is dramatic
reader who has been often referred to in
these columns. She is Sacramento born
and developed. She has fine talent, phe-
! nomenal, indeed. Some years ago the
! RECoRD-U UNION discovered the capacity
! OF the then girl, and first called attention
to it, Since then she has studied hard
| and has been saving to enable her to go
to thorough training institution. 10
/ aid her to this end she gives a musical
/ and dramatic entertainment at the Con-
! gregational Church on the oath inst. She
] has volunteered often for many worthy
/ causes here, and now those she has aided
/ have opportunity to acknowledge the
/ fact in a material manner. She is de-
! serving, has fine ability, and local pride
| should be sufficient alone to make her
entertainment a success as TO numb ers
| and the treasury-as to the rostrum work
| she can be trusted to give full value.
The box-sheet for the two nights of the
Conreid- Ferenczy Opera Company, April
23d and 24th. is now open at the Clunie
| Opera-house office. The outlook is for
! an excellent sale. The company is one
| of great superiority, and has had the
unanimous and warm approval of the
/ severest critics of San Francisco.
