ADJUSTMENTS.

| Creighton Bulwer's stirring drama,
| "Richeleu," being the bill The Cardinal of
~. " nitesde was the subject of favorable
| comment on the former occasion of its pre-
| sentation here, and there is little to be said
| in addition at present Without being as
intellectual a performance as his Hamlet.
Mr.. Whiteside's "Rchelieu'' is a strong and
| even performance, and although the powerful
| voice of the actor is at times hardly sub
| dued to the requirements of the decrepitude
| of age, 1t 10 used with fine effect and with
F! a commendable absence of rant in the great
scenss of the curse Of Rome and the attempted
| murder by Mauprat. Certain faults of elo-
cuton and orthoepy, which have been al
luded to heretofore, are common to all Mr..
Whitesides characterizations.
Miss Wolstan is a charming julie Mr..
Sturgeon is a sufficiently vHlainous Baradas,
Mr.. Hatnes an earnest Francois and Mr..
| Fowler deserves a word of praise in passing
for his Beringhen.
Hamlet" will be repeated this afternoon

performance of Richard ILL., Mr.. White
side making his first local appearance in the

Coming to the Creighton for four nights
commencing with a matinee tomorrow at 2.3O
is Tompkins' "Black Crook" This spectacle
has been PLAYED greater number of times
than any other play known to the American
public. The strong and superb dramatic en-
semble the gorgeous baliets, the rich and
gorgeous costumes and effects, and the crown
Ing masterpiece of scenic art, the grand and
sGmptuous transformation scene, coupled
with host Of European vaudeville novelties
make 1t a most imposing attraction. It's
memorable run of twelve months at the New
York Academy of Music last season is still
fresh in the public mind and It's production
here will be marked with the same careful
attention to detail that marked its metro
politan run.

one Of the most clever comedies of recent |
years. 1t is full of unexpected situations that
fairly crowd each other and is one continual |
roar of laughter and applause from the rise |

over 700 nights in London and 100 nights at |
Frohman's fashionable Lyceum theater, New
York.

No extravaganza OF recent years has egualed
this in popularity, and few have succeeded
in attracting to their theaters SO large n
portion OF the refined patrons of the theater
Bessie Bonehill has been specially engaged
for this tour, and those who have not seen
this charming young woman in her refined
and fascinating spec.atles have genuine
surprise in store for them. Richard Har-
low, who is generally acknowledged as the
best female impersonator on our stage will
be seen as Isabella, the Daisy Queen of
Spain" Add to this dual attraction a bur
lesque full of mirth and melody. and the
famous Kilanyi living pictures and you have
IN entertainment hard to surpass.
Very frequently the spublic hears of some
actor or actress as having "created" a new
part, and often on the play bills will be seen
that Mr.. and Mrs. So and So will appear in
his or her original Creation" According to
William H.. Crane, who Is to appear at Boyd's
theater on Monday, this is all wrong. He
holds that it Is not the actor who creates
but the author. 1T is a great mistake to
'ay that the actor creates" argues the come
lian. "The author draws the character and
t remains for the actor to give it life. Do
not rob the author of his due To be sure
good actor Is of insstimable value to an
author. Often by his art he will get a
good deal more out Of character than the |
author thought II contained when he drew it, |
Then again the actors personality may fit
part and he will do wonders with it,"
Robert G. Ingersol will appear at Boyd's
heater Sunday evening, December /, when
ie will deliver his new lecture, 1.-The Bible"
