ADJUSTMENTS.

Katie Emmet and her excellent COM
pany appeared at the Metropolitan
Theater last night in 1.-THE Waits OF
New York" Miss Emmet has lost none
| OF her attractiveness since she last Wis
ited Sacramento two years ago, and
the performance given last night de-
served larger audience. Those who
| were present testified to their appre-
citation of the clever work of the art
lists by frequent hearty applause. The
| character of the play is fully indicated
by its name. It was presented here
three years ago to crowded house. In
cidental to the play a number of spe-
cialties were introduced by Miss EN-
| met Henry West, Jennie Engle. the
DE Arville sisters and Baby Isabelle. all
OF whom are clever in their respective
lines The De Arville sisters are very
graceful dancers, and Jennie EngIe
makes great Biddie McShane. Miss
Emmet Is charming In all she does

Our Boys" Byrons comedy drama.
was played at the Clunie Opera house
last night. Messrs Gleason and Gib-
ney as the two "old fellows" who re.
pented having turned their sons adrift
were successful In those assumptions
Ihey played the parts, comparatively
difficult roles, with great deal of skill
but with some little Of the embarass-
ment consequent upon waiting for cues
difficulty not likely to be met with TO-
night. Miss Fanny Yantis as BIinda
really carried the honors of the evening.
1t was low comedy creation on her
part, characterful and up to the level of
an exacting demand. We had not given
this lady credit for quite so complete and
adroit work as she did in this very
amusing role. Mr.. Stockbridge and Mr.
Stewart were clever as the two sons who
had been turned out" and Misses Glea-
son and Rankin were all the demands Of
the text called for as Mary and Violet
Miss Rainford, a new face, proved as
Clarissa, to be practical and self-con-
tanned actress, equal to a far more ex-
acting task than was given to her. Mr.
Hallett, as he always is, was good as
Kempter, the valet. The comedy Is one
of Byron's best and will draw well. The
exhibition of the veriscope was unsatis-
factory because of the inability to re-
duce the voltage Of the electric current
used. However, enough was seen of It
to give the spectators something of an
idea or new and very curious and in
teresting advance in Photographic
science. 1t was shown that moving fig
ures can be accurately depicted on
screen SO that the scene appears to be
one In actual life. Mr.. Clifton, the pro-
prietor of the Veriscope, will to-day be
able to command such an electrical cur
rent as Is necessary, or if not he will use
an oxycalcium light, but as powerful
steady electric light has been used here
in stereopticons it is expected that he
will be able to secure the necessary re-
duction of the alternating current by
tonight so that this evening the exhibi-
tion will be entierly satisfactory.
