ADJUSTMENTS
MORRISON's FAUST"

The attraction to appear at the Opera
House on New Years is Morrison S
Faust" In the hands of Morrison S
players, Goethe's masterpiece acquires
fresh lustre. The dramatization Of this
production is a triumph of the stage,
the Interpretation of the lines OF Me-
phiSto is a revelation-a vivid realistic
conception of the Mephisto which the
great German author designed. Plays
of the spectacular order are fast finding
favor, the Kiralfys are no longer look
ed upon as the originators of every
thing admirable in this line. Morri-
sons production of Faust" is tri-
umph of mechanical effects on the
stage The effects produced by the
many colored lights are enhancing. In
the revival of the demons, on walpurgis
night on the summit Of the Broken the
entire stage seems afire and added to
the clash of the elements comes the re-
vel of the spirit from the neither world
and the anguish of their victims.
THE CLUSS COMPANY.
Manager Reister has provided for
patrons of the Opera House, on Thurs
day evening of this week, an attraction
somewhat out of the ordinary-the
Cluss company of musicians and read
ers in classic recitals. Of Miss Anita
Cluss, the harp virtuoso, the Baltimore
Sun says: Throughout the whole
work the mellow, penetrating chords Of
the harp are heard, sweeping over the
orchestra like a mighty wind, and Civ
ing a peculiar colOring and strength
to the music that could not be obtained
by all the strings piZZicati. Miss Anita
Cluss, the young harpist, did splendid
work, and is one of the finest harpist
that have ever been heard in Balti-
more"
THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL"
me Grand Opera House will present
to its patrons on next Thursday, Friday
and Saturday The Midnight Special"
the great melo-dramatc success in four
acts. In commenting on it the Wilkes
barre Daily News Dealer, of September
3, remarks: The Music Hall was crowd
ed last night to witness the opening of
the Midnight Special" On e of the
strongest comedy dramas of its kind
that has ever visited our city. The
stage settings and mechanical effects,
especially the second act, in which is

freight dash!ng IN and out of the rail-
road station, is one of the most realistic
scenes we have seen.
VAUDEVILLE'S THE IDEA.

Sheridans big company, the City

that all lovers Of this class of amuse-
ment will become interested. The City

the splendid impression they left behind

who take pleasure in recalling the occa-
sion. The only old and familiar rem
nant of the CITY Sports" past successes

pounds, in their marvellous and startling
acrobauc performances is only one of
the many features.
