ADJUSTMENTS

Thomas w. Keene's fine dramatic COM
pany will appear at the Metropolitan
Theater tonight and tomorrow night.
1esterday notice was received that owing
to over-eXertion Mr.. keenes voice has
1alled him, and two physicians, having
been called In at Oakland, have decided
that Mr.. IL eene must have absolute rest
Tor time: at present it is simply impos-
sible for him to use his voice, and the
mandate OF the doctors is imperative.
This is very serious thing for Mr.
heene, who feels deeply, besides the dis
appointment his non-appearance will be
to his many friends in Sacramento. 1t
has been decided, however. that Mr..
keene's company will appear He has
gathered one OF the strongest troupes on
the stage, with two leading men widely
and well known in dramatic art, Edwin
Arden and MIR. Hennig, who are sup
ported by Mr.. Eagleson, Miss Beamer,
Miss Downs, Miss Lawrence and Miss
Black. Ali the San Francisco papers
speak of these people as superior, and
the leading men are especially COM
mended as artists of high ability. Mr..
Hennig, for instance, is conceded the
best richmond on the American stage
and Miss Beamer the best Elizabeth now
playing TO any star. Tonight the play
will be "Othello," with Mr.. Arden lead
ing, and tomorrow night "komeo and
-
the company's repertoire, and in which
play Mr.. heene never appears. The
assurance Is given that high-class per-
formance will be given and that the en-
tire company Will appear, it being large
and finely equipped. readjustment of
prices has been made. Reserved seats in
the orchestra and dress circle can be had
at 20 cents and 81, according to location;
the balcony admission viii be 90 cents
The play Will be mounted with es pecial
care and the stage settings will be histori-
cally correct, and the wardrobe, which is
rich and extensive, is said to be among
the best possessed by any troupe. Man
ager Todd says those who have purchased
seats under the original scale of prices
can have them exchanged under the new
scale, or can have the money refunded at
the box-otfice any time to-day.
Atthe Clunie Opera-hous Christmas eve
the rush to see the spectacular "Faust,
was so great that many were turned
away unable to gain admission. Last
night another large audience assembled
The piece Is running very smoothly. 1t
is, by all odds, the most ambitious and
successful work OF the Higgins Waldron
Company. Mr.. Hosmer is winninp de-
served honors as tMephisto," Miss Wal
dron's Marguerite is very nearly the
ideal. and Mr. Stuart's Valentino ieavaS

act is the best we can recall. The fine
scenic and electrical effects nightly re-
ceive enthusiastic applause, notably the
incandescent light effect in the second
act.
A novel entertainment termed ''Ker-
miss" will take place a. the Old Pavilion
on the evenings of January 29th and 30th.
It will consist of a Swedish wedding
dance, with singing; a Dutch wooden
shoe dance; an international flag dance,
introducing dances of all nations, and
other features. The Ladies OF the Grand
Army of the Republic are in charge of
the affair, which is for charity.
