ADJUSTMENTS.
JAMES O'NEILL.

i!4t Is likely that manager Kelly of the
GSGand will tind an opportunity for hang
ing out the 5. t.. o. sign on Wednesday,
April :, for GA that day the prince of
romantic, actors, Mr.. James O'Neill.
appears here in his powerful version of
Dumas Monte Crlsto." 1t has been
claimed so often that ii is now a recog-
nized truth, that O'Neill is the only
actor in this country who can act the
part of Edmund Dantes III the spirit in
the work of Mr. Chas. fletcher, the or
iginator of the part, was greatly com
mented on at his time, the same writer's
who praised him, admitted, when seeing
Mr.. O'Neilrs performance, that they
were at 4 loss to find words that could
do Justice to his mastery portrayal of
the greatest romantic role that ever vas
written. Mr.. O'Neil and Monte
Cristo have delighted the people of
the United States for niore titan ten
years and in that time Mr.. Neil has
acted his part 5000 times Without miss
ing a single performance.
The announcement of his engagement
is more than likely to test the capacity
of the house. The play not only fascin-
ates the spectator by its exit "diuary
dramatic charm but it tells tbr ~ Of
human perseverance and unremlttlng
vengeance SO clearly that it strikes home
to the heart of every man, woman and
child. 1t is play that catches the fam
cies Of the young man, as much as it
impresses the minds Of the older people.
1t has won a lame for Mr.. O'Ncill that
will make him immortal wherever the
story of Monte Cristo" is read or
told. True to his artistic convictions,
Mr. O'Neill has gathered around him a
select company of actors of recognized
merit. The play admits in several
places Of dressing the characters in ell
aborate costumes and no opportunity
for expenditure of money has been
spared in this respect. The realistic
scene outside the Chateau q IF, where
"The World is Nine exclamation is
uttered in the fourth act, is great. One
noteworthy feature of the large aud
fences that continually gather in the
theatre when Mr.. O'Ncill is PLAYING
Monte Crlsto," is the large number
of clergymen always to be observed.
Their presence is due to the admiration
ministers of all denominations entertain
toward the truthful representation Of
the priest III the play.

ShakcSrcarian Evening

Miss Cavanagh, teacher of English
literature in the Nelson Dewey school,
demonstrated last Friday evening,
through the public rendition of selec-
tons from Hamlet and the Merchant OF
Venice by the young lady me mbers Of
her class, that She understands and is
capable of develOp!uga correct lnterpre-
tation of whatever her classes may take
up. Miss Cayanaghs motive IN assign
ing the parts was TO interest the pupils,
and after committing the lines they
were further inspired to perfection by
the suggestion TO act their parts, and the
Young people certainly responded well
to their leaders training. Each and
every part was we'll taken, and the cos
tuning was fine. The selection from
the Merchant of Venice was the trial
scene. and the parts were assigned as
follows:
Shylock, Emma Hudson; Duke of Ven
ice, Maggie Seaman; Antonio, Edith
Hunter; Portia. Martha Christie; Bas-
sanio, Rio Newton; Gratiano, Marion
Banks. The cast for the selection from
Hamlet, the grave digging scene, was
made UP from the same members, Miss
Seaman taking Hamlet, Emma Hudson
and Rio Newton, clowns, Horatio, Flor
ence Alexander. The audience evil
denced their appreciation of the enter
tainment by heartily app!auiing. The
intervals between acts were filed by
instrumental music hv Miss Nellie
sea-.es and Forrest Hutchinson, ana
they, as usual acquitted themselves
we'll. The whole entertainment closed
with q beautiful tableau, Miss Edith
Hunter posing as Ophelia Other en-
entertainments of similar nature
would be very enjoyable and Miss Cav
anagh i certainly TO be commended for
tie way she las brought out Ler class.
