ADJUSTMENTS

At the Clunie Opera-house this after
noon, for matinee, tonight and to-mor-
row night, will be the last presentations
of the thrilling drama. "The White
Slave" No play has been better mounted
or acted by the stock company. Next
week 1.-The Two Orphans" The COM
pany is now admirably fitted for the pro-
duction of that difficult drama.
There was good audience at the Met
ropolitan Theater last night. The "Inter-
national Vaudevilles" proved to be a
thoroughly pleasing variety company of
American, Vienna, London and Partisan
people. A better variety show has not
been given here in very long time, and
as good one not for a longer time. The
curtain went up at SIP, and there was
but one intermission in the rapid per-
formance from that until 1l:05. There
is no weak timber in the construc-
ton of the company. Some parts are
greatly stronger than others, but as
whole it is an exceptionally lively and
entertaining combination of very clever
people. Duncan, who has been here be-
fore, gives fine ventriloqual exhibition.
he is master in that line. Unthan, the
armless man, is a wonder. Born without
arms, he evidently does not feel the need
for them. He is jolly, stalwart Ger
man, who shoots rifle with wonderful
accuracy, plays the violin, entertains at
table, plays cards, gives cornet solo,
uses a knife "handlly," and generally
makes his feet and toes serve all the pur
poses hands and fingers do other people.
The Delma sisters are Viennese singers
and warblers; Baldwin and Daily aero
batic dancers, high kickers and tumblers
of the first order; Smith and Fuller,
man and woman, give the best eccentric
musical instrument performance we have
had here. The apparatus they use is al
most wholly new, and two OF the instru-
mentS are unlike anything we have ever
seen or heard and are remarkable for
sweetness of tone. Lucier and Arch
mere, man and woman, give comic
musical sketch that pleases the audience.
Miss Archmere, once Sacram entan, has
a very sympathetic voice and uses it well.
Watson and Hutchings, man and
woman, give neat but not exceptional
grotesque dutch" act. Florence Thropp
is a London Gaiety singer and dancer.
pretty and rather clever, and in one scene
as a student has rich but scanty cos
tune that is an "astonisher." Pony
| Delprade is a very fine imitator of birds,
sings well, and with the aid of two
women does trick that is exceedingly
puzzling. One woman is sealed up in
bag and clapped into trunk,
that is then locked, bound with ropes,
and tumbled about to show all sides OF it.
The other woman stands in front of it,
and while one counts ten screen is
thrown over her and the trunk, and on
removal the two women are seen to have
changed places. Codert's living pictures
closed the programme. These are repre-
sentations by living men and women of

The company does not leave the city
tonight, and the management therefore
promises that there shall be no abridg-
ment of performance.
The ladies having the matter in charge
meet this afternoon to complete arrange
ments for the Humane Society benefit at
the Metropolitan Theater on the 10th.
They have arranged long and exceed
ingly varied entertainment. The Sacra-
mento Athletic Club sends them four OF
it's best boxers and four of its chief
wreStlerS. Music, Statuary, dancing,
tableaux, elocution, comedy and other
features are secured, and in every case
those taking part volunteer.
The old Pavilion was crowded last
night at Professor O'Malley's reception OF
the children's class, and enjoyed Won
derful treat. The little tots dancing, in
some instances, would have done credit
to professionals.
The entertainment given at the A. NJ. E.
Church last night by the children Of the
Sunday-school. for the benefit of the IL
brary fund, was fairly attended, and the
pupils singing and iecitations were well
done and thoroughly appreciated.
