ADJUSTMENTS

The Burbank-Captain Herne, L. 5. A.
after careful preparation was presented
last evening before an immense audience.
The piece was superbly handled for irst
nights production. and Mr.. J. j. Dow
ling, who has made such an excellent i'm
preston in every character he has as
sumed in this city, added fresh laurels to
his long line of successful plays. He
takes the part of Captain Herne without
any affectation and is strong when
strength is needed and consequently was
deservedly applauded. Miss MyIa l.. Da-
Wis as Nannette Randolph appeared to
better advantage than any part thus far
given here. She is allowed an opportu-
nifty to display the sweet voice which she
possesses and her rendering of the beau
tiful ballad. Say Au Revoir, but not Good
BY, csptivated the house and she was
roundly encored. 1t was feature of the
entertainment. Miss George Woodthorpe
as Inez De Nerney, the octoroon, plays
her parts for all they are worth, and this
week is no exception to the rule. Miss
Minnie Conway, who has a neat and in
vitiDg stage presence, makes splendid
May Herne. and for one who has had
only limited experience before the foot
lights certainly has very bright future.
Mr.. Carl Befch is allowed sufficient lat
titude to display his capabilities and
scored another achievement as George
Colchester. the half brother TO Captain
Herne. Thomas kerns and Harry Lie
wellyn, in what little they have to 90,
carry out their respective parts satlsfac-
torily. The entire company leaves no
ground for ADVERSE criticism. They all
cover themselves with glory. The seen
cry is no small part of the piece. it is
up to the standard promised aud there
is not dull moment in the play from
the time tn curtain rises until 1t goes
down. The production has never been
more satisfactorily rendered and large
houses will certainly be the 1ule during
the week. The Actors Association OF
America will have benefit On Thursday

uled. Volunteers fiom every theater in
