ADJUSTMENTS.

A very fine audience at the Clunie
Opera-hOuse last night greeted the
opening OF the last week Of the Moulton
Dramatic company. If variety is what
the theater goers want, they assuredly
had it last night, for the entertainment
was Quadruple. Mr.. Lonergan and Miss
Dallas gave the Kendals pretty COM
edY curtain-raiser, The Baron's
Wager" 1T was excellently played and
proved that the stronger points of Mr..
Moulton's company are just being dis
covered. Mr.. Lonergan was not sup
posed to be possessed of the versatility
he is now manifesting, nor Miss Dallas
of the fine art she displays in senti-
mental efforts and refined comedy. Next
came the beautiful one-act play, "A
Game of Cards. presenting Mr. Glib
ney in the best work he has done here,
as fine bit Of character acting in an
old man part as one might wish to see.
He was ably supported by Mr.. Loner-
gan, Mr.. Stockbridge and Miss Yantis.
The third play was the rafting farce,
1.-TWO Jim Dandies,'' with Mr.. Moulton
IN the lead, and capital as in all he
does. But Miss Harrington took the
palm by an extravagant bit of bur-
lesque. The support by Miss Clayes,
who is clever and prepossessing, Miss
Stuart, Mr.. Stockbridge and Mr..
Sellery, was acceptable, but will be
bettered tonight, when Mr.. Sellery shall
have captured the fleeting lines of his
part Between the second and third
pieces Tyndall, the mind reader, gave
very successful exhibition of his powers.
Every feat he attempted he accom-
plished. and he won applause sufficient
to graItify any reasonable desire for
commendatiOn. He had the aid of
large committee which showed him no
favors. The best work he did was in
finding hidden articles and describing
persons thought of and the charac-
teristics of their costume. Whether it is
muscle suggestion" or whatever the
method, his work is exceedingly clever,
especially the feat of finding three
ladies to whom another lady had award
ed three ribbons, which were afterwards
hidden He found the ribbons, and then
placed each with the person with whom
they had been originally placed. To-
night the same bill with a change of
mind reading feats by Tyndall.
At Z O'Clock last evening Tyndall, the
mind reader, had a great crowd in front
of the opera-house. \ committee con-
slsting of DR.. F. d. Tyrrell, DR.. F. F.
Tebbits, c. M. Beckwith, o. P. Dodge,
Arthur Wilson, c. K. Lipman, Charles
Farren and F. M. Woodson drove in
Wilson's large surrey from the opera
house up K to Tenth, to l., to Seventh,
to K, to Second, to J, to the Plaza,
where they secreted an officers badge
upon an upper ledge of the base of the
Stevens monument and placed a COM
mittee to watch it. They then returned
to the opera-house, where Tyndall had
remained in charge of still another
committee. He was then blindfolded
and conducted to the vehicle. He in
stantly mounted, seized the reins, and
with one hand in the hand of one of
the committee and the other holding
the reins, drove at a furious pace over
the route the committee had taken,
and SO fast as to alarm the occupants
of the vehicle, and make those on the
streets scatter to get out of the way.
He found the badge instantly on alight-
ing at the Plaza. At Eighth and L
streets the committeeman whose hand
he held caused Tyndall to drive in a
circle entirely around the crossing by
suggesting it mentally, as the commit
teeman reports. No one communicated
any direction to the operator while in
the vehicle or before and but one pause
was made, when Tyndall changed one
of the committee to the seat beside him,
as being more sensitive in thought" !"
as he put it, than the man with whom
he set out ON the journey. 1t was a
clever feat and was carried out to the
letter of the promise. However done,
it was neatly accomplished. When
Tyndall attempted the same feat here
five or six years ago he tainted and
suffered In what was pronounced
severe epileptic fit.
At Fifteenth and N streets this after
noon at 2 and tonight at : O'Clock,
Monroe's shows will give two enter
tainments, introducing all the ring-rid-
ing, trick animal feats, tumblirg, ath-
letic and gymnastic exercises Of the
company.
