ADJUSTMENTS.

LETT last evening was an interesting per-
Torrance, as it indicated the ambition of
the actor in the direction of Shakespearean
characters, the highest plane of an actors
work. Mr.. Mantell has played Hamlet here
before and The Star then commended some
portions of his work and pointed out where
improvements, in it's opinion. could be
made. The performance last night indicated
continued study of that complex character,
but it was still theatric rather than tragic
at many points. Mr.. Mantell is getting
better grasp of Shakespeare's meaning, how
ever. and further study will produce more
finished results His work evidently
pleasing to his audience, for the applause
was liberal and emphatic. He was well
supported by Miss Behrens, who made
charming Ophelia; Mary Timberman as
Queen Gertrude, Mr.. Edward n. Hoyt, who
was unusually good as the Ghost; Mr..
Eberle as Polonius, and VIM. Stuart as
Laertes.
New National Theater-Miss Ada Rehan
attracted a large audience last night to
witness her impersonaton of Viola in
Shakeapeares Twelfth Night" Her con-
ceptton of the part is more vigorous and
full-blooded than that of Miss Marlowe.
the only other actress with whom she car
now be compared, but her work Is thor
oughly artistic, and gives great delight to
her audience. The stage setting was eff
fective, the incidental music well given
and the support generally satisfactory. al
though Mr.. Owens was too boisterous as
Sir Toby and his performance lacked that
finish that characterized the work of James
Lewis. Mr.. Clarke's Malvolio was hardly
up to the standard.

Marie Jansen.-On Monday evening NEXT
Marie NJ Jansen Nil be at Albaughs in new
farcial comedy, Miss Dynamite" Marie
Jansens delicious personality is the charm
which accounts for her thousands of adj
mirers throughout the country. She ex-
hiblts on the stage a mixture Of daring
frankness and good humor, which are pecu-
liarly fascinating and these supplemented
by her shapeliness and grace, justly make
ner one or the prime favorites of the
American thea ter-going public. Added to
her own delightful individuality, Miss
dynamite Is everywhere pronounced one
or the most entertaining farce comedies
ever offered to the public. 1t Is not one of
those plays written for the star alone, but
contains a number of other characters of
equal Importance with that of the principal
role. Miss Jansen's company Is one Of the
best which money and experience could

and satisfactory young actors in America.

cert OF its series at MetZerott Music Hall

excited the theater-going public of two con-
tinents He has gathered a galaxy of
