ADJUSTMENTS.
MORRISON'S FAUST.

The f1attering reports that have pre-
coded the Morrison company in their
presentation of Goethe's beautifuf
Faust causes a feeling of interest TO
lovers of good acting. So many good
plays have achieved fame and fortune
for their possessors have been so mutt
lated by Indifferent acting and gross
incompetency that the knowledge that
a perfectly equipped organization Is
now playing a well known play IN all
its original integrity is in itself sub
iect for congratulation. The indlifer-
ence of the average theatre-goer to the
better class of plays have been brought
about by the cupidity of some travelling
managers, who, in their frantic e1lorls
to acquire a fortune rapidly, nave
overlooked the intelligence OF the pub
lie. They seem to think that 1t is only
necessary to advertise the name or a
successful play and their fortune is
made. The splendid company and play,
with it's beautiful scenery, electrical and
calcium effects. will be seen here on New
Years Day, matinee and night, at the
Opera House.
The CLUSS COMG AIN L.
Manager Reister is to be congratulated
upon securing such high class attrac-
tion as the Cluss company, which is

who is a master of that instrument.
THE OLD YEAR OUT.

best vaudeville organizations. will be
the next attraction at the Grand for
three nights, opening Monday in high
class bill of the vaudeville nature.
This is the sixth season of this popular
company, the past five being most sue
cessful, and judging from the colec-
ton OF artists in the present company
the coming season will add still an
other TO the successful list. The pro-
gramme includes a very well chosen
number Of specially artists who viii
make their part OF the bill very inter-
esting. At the head Of the number VII

ters, the worlds greatest female aero
bats
THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL"
A house crowded % the doors greet
ed the presentation of this melo-dra-
matte success at the Delayan Opera
House last night. In fact, good stand
ing room was scarce. The second aci,
representing the Grand Union Depct,
is the most realistic setting of the
kind ever seen here. The Woodland
distillery, with its presses at work, is
also a novelty. The production as a
whole is superior in every sense, and
will undoubtedly meet with the success
it really deserves.-Meriden, Conn.
This, the latest great melo-dramatic
success, will be presented at the Grand
the last three nights of this week
with its wealth of elegant scenery and
powerful company.
"A TEXAS STEER"
This political satire by Charles II.
Hoyt, drew two large audiences to
the Opera House yesterday. Tim
Murphy sustained the role of Brand
er" in his inimitable fashion, and had
the audience cOnvulsed with laughter
while he was on the stage His mobile
face is a SHOW in itself" Miss
Dorothy Sherrod made very ingen-
ious and pleasing "Bossy." The trio of
Texas statesmen came in for their share
of applause in their characteristic in
vestigation. There is pretty love
story in "A Texas Steer" and here and
there a touch of pathos not usually
found in Hoyt's productions.
