ADJUSTMENTS

A good audience at the Clunie Opera
house last night witnessed the second
production of Hazel Kirke." The piece
is we'll cast. MIR. Scott has a role new to
him, not heavy but sympathetic part,
in Aaron Rodney, and his Interpretation
of 1t is artistic. The scene in the villa in
the second act is made exceedingly strong
by Miss Waldron, Miss Hendricks and
Mr. Bacon, and is one of the best emo
tional effects yet secured by the COM
pany. The play will be repeated to-
night.
Nellie McHenry and her clever COM
pany had a good house at the Metropol-
itan Theater last night. This sparkling
comedienne says she intends to return
here next year an entirely new and far
better comedy, and she is now arranging
for it in conjunction with Messrs. Web
ster, Laurent, Bradbury and Barry of the
present troupe.
William Burress, who has from the
first been member of the Higgins
Waldron Company at the Clunie Opera
house, has resigned from the company to
enter other fields. The separation is en-
tirely amicable, and regret is felt by the
management that Blrress feels it best for
him to go. He is to appear in San Fran
cisco Monday night as the fat boy in Mr..
BRUSHES play The Estate of Hannibal
Howe" Burress created the part, and
takes great pride in it. He is a good low
comedian and all around serviceable
actor.
Miss Eugenia A. Kelley's musical en-
tertainment for the benefit of the Kings
Daughters Of the Christian Church will
take place at the Congregational Church
this evening. Miss Kelley will be as
sisted by the best local talent, also by
Miss Alice Waltz, vocalist who has a
high reputation in the East. Referring
to her the New York Times says: Miss
Alice Waltz is a growing favorIte with
New York and Brooklyn audiences. She
possesses very sweet and plant voice
and much skill, aud, what is best, is uu-
pretentious in her methods. She sang
last evening exquisitely, both in her
first and second NUN bers." Miss Kelley
has prepared an excellent programme
for this evening, and aside from it's mer-
its, the worthy object in view should in
sure good attendance.
In San Francisco and Oakland
Frederick Warde, the eminent tragedian,
recently gave his afternoon lecture,
shakespeare and His Plays With Read
ings," to houses in which standing room
was at a premium long before the hour

lectured for worthy beneficiary. In the
High School Library fund benefit lect-
ure, in San Francisco, Metropolitan
Temple was crowded until the police in
terfered and hundreds of people were
turned away unable to get within the
doors, and at the conclusion Of the lecture
Mr.. Warde was showered with bouquets
and applauded until he left the building
