ADJUSTMENTS

The dramatization of II. Rider Hag-
CARDS "She" was produced at the Clunie
Opera-house last night by the Higgins
Waldron Company in superb manner.
1t is a brilliant spectacle, but it is held
that the author had in it deep and philo-
sophie purpose; that it is typical of the
struggle between the progress that is life
and the retrogression that is death. But
this depth Of interest is not considered by
the many, ana as spectacle and mys-
teal, poetic spectacle it has its chief draw
ing power. The play was produced un-
der the direction of George 7. Web
ster, who, with his partner, w. a. Brady,
nrst introduced the drama to the Pacific
Coast boards. He assumed the part Of
Holly and sustained it with the excel
lence characteriZing all his dramatic
work. Miss Waldron made q lovely
AyeSha, and read and acted the part with
grace and yet with vigor, and gave to it a
dignity and force UNUSUAL. Messrs. Ba-
con and Burress bore the low comedy
parts well, and Misses Wiedman and
jackson left nothing wanting in the roles
OF Ustane and DulyOsha. There was a
large force OF supernumeraries, and it is
ialr to say they are the best lot OF aids
that have ever been employed in any
play here. The scenery is all new, all good,
much Of it rich and much of it brilliant
doing great credit 10 the artist. Mr.. Mc-
Curry, Mr.. HOsmer aud Mr.. Scott had
leading parts and managed them thor
oughly well. The piece is a success. and
as spectacle is the most pretentiOus work
OF the company. 1t will run the week
through and deserves, and will assuredly
draw, full houses.
