ADJUSTMENTS

will begin a two nights engagement.
The play tonight will be The Substi-
tute," tomorrow night ''A Pair of
Kids" The comedian, Ezra Kendall,
first gained prominence as DR.. Mulo
Medicus in Mestayer's I'VE, Us IL Co. -
and afterward starred in the farce "A
Pair of Kids" The Substitute" is a
new comedy and one of rare mirthful
quality. Little Jennie Dunn, who was,
as a child. the original Josephine in
Raverly's Juvenile "Pinafore" Company,
is the soubrette of the company. The
troupe is represented as strong through
out, and the press speaks well of it w here
ever it has appeared.
At the Clunie Opera-house last night
the military drama ''LuciIle' was pre-
sented. The scenery throughout is new.
Two of the sittings are especially hand
some and won hearty applause as the
curtain went up on them. The drama is
rapid in action, full of human interest
emotional, martial and lighted up by a
fine low comedy vein sustained ad-
nirably by Mr.. Higgins, Mir. Bacon and
Miss Wiedman, each of whom was es-
pecially happy in their efforts III that di-
rection.
The leading part is taken by Albert
Hosmer, young man of good dramatic
with such artists as Frederick Ward and
Louis Morrison. He is of good stage
presence, strong voice of emotional quail
ity and well trained in vocal effects. He
reads with intelligent appreciation of the
text, and gives to his role a vitality and
naturalnesS that is within the power of
the natural and disciplined artist He is
strong accession to the company and
won at once the favor of the audience.
Miss Waldron has done nothing so we'll
here as the Lucille of this drama Her
dagger and challenge scene were bits of
art work to excite the admiration of the
exacting. Miss jackson had serious
character for the first time, and fully
justified the estimate made of her
versatility in earlier notices. Mr..
Stewart, Mr.. Burress and Mr.. Scott
were letter-pertect and acted the
difficult rolls assigned them with
entire credit. Indeed, the company
was in especially fine form last night, aud
proved itself to be stronger than we mad
given 1t credit for. Twice the curtain
was rung up on leading members, SO en-
phatic was the Endorsement of the au-
dience. Some little errors should be- cor
rected "a on-commissioned officer is
never put upon sentry duty. The Con-
iederate Captain who is placed on guard
duty should be displaced by private, or
remove his shoulder straps before he
doubles" Lucille" again tonight. Il
is a success, and certain TO draw well for
the week.
A fine programme has been prepared
and will be rendered tonight in the Con-
gregational Church, under the auspices
of the Capital City Women's Christian
Temperance Union. Ii will be Miss De
Velling's farewell meeting.
At the Metropolitan Theater and at the
Clunie opera-house tonight and to-
morrow night election bulletins, fur
nished by the Western Union Telegraph
Company, will be read frequently from
the stage. Manager Todd has effected
arrangements 10 make the service good
Tor both houses.
Notwithstanding the fact that Stanford
night at the Metropolitan Theater will not
be till next Saturday, there was great
demand for seats at Cooper's music store
Yesterday, and before the day was over
Quarter of the seats in the house were re-
served. 1t is evident, therefore, that the
fbeater will be taxed TO its capacity when
the Stanford students appear. There has
also been a good sale OF football tickets
and the enthusiasm is still growing. The
Sacramento correspondent of the WdUe
of San Francisco has this TO say:
1--WE girls are in Il dreadful state of ex-
citement all because of the announce
ment that about forty of the Stanford
students are coming, and so soon. No
vernher 10th will be known as Stanford
University Day, in honor of their ap-
pearance. The trip from Palo Alto and
return will cost upwards of $500. We
hone their reception will be so royal and
enthusiastic they will feel amply repaid
for their trouble and expense. In the
afternoon there will be the finest football
contest ever seen here. The game will
take place at Snowflake Park, and We
girls intend to don our best togs and turn
out en- masse. Then that evening the
Mandolin and Glee Clubs will give big
entertainment at the Metropolitan, which
threatens to be the SWEETEST event OF the
season."
The Stanford boys-about forty In all
will be met at the depot on Saturday
noon by the Sacramento players. ana an
electric car, gaudily decorated with red
and orange bunting, will convey them TO
