of interest is taken here in reports in
American papers about the operations

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater next Mon
day and Tuesday the farce-comedy, "a
Black Sheep" the latest from the fertile
brain of Charles Hoyt, and which has
just completed a remarkably successful
run of twelve weeks at the Grand Opera
house, Chicago, will be produced for the
first time in this city. In "A Black
Sheep" the principal character is known
as Hot Stuff, who is the "black sheep" of
a. Massa chusetts family, torsaking social
standing, riches and family title for d
life on the wild plains OF Arizona. This
character was written especially for Otis
Harlan, comedian who is wonderfully
clever and versatile. He will be remem-
bered for his funny antics and musical
voice IN the "Razzle Dazzle" trio in "A
Brass Monkey" also by the catchy ex-
preston. Are You Happy" which was
original with him in Thatcher's Tux
edo," and later by the phenomenal hit he
scored when he played the part of Thomas
Seabrooke In "Tobasco." Mr.. Harlan is
a comedian who impresses one as in love
with his work. He goes at 1t with that
hearty, now-pll- pll-have-a-good-time sort of
an air that is infectious, He takes the
audience into his confidence, and hence
is never at loss for line or bit
of business.
In "A Black Sheep" Mr.. Hoyt has
written character that exactly fits Har-
lan's abilities to perfection. He has an
opportunity to explain his versatility as q
comedian, and his rich, mellow baritone
voice is an important factor, as the piece
abounds in music now breaking forth in
the shape OF a song or a concerted num-
Der. The support Is represented as good,
and the mounting of the piece Will be
here the same as at San Francisco.
