ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Grand-All roads seemed to
lead TO tho Grand last night, aud as
consequence when the curtain went
up on the first act OF CauTics-which
was the BILL the house was flied 10
overt wing. The engagement OF Vic.
tory Batemsn ns leading lady and the
sensational newspaper tsIk OF her per.
sonai atiairs, which preceded her, and
the DEERE OF her friends to give her
| warm reception upon her return,
Wera no doubt tho potent cRus OF
which brought out tho unusually
| large attendance. A fter laet nights
splendid reception Miss Bateman need
have no doubts about the sincerity Of
the APPRECIATION other by her Salt Lake
fTiends, for she received perfect
ovation and the stage WAS literally
covered with flowers, tue gifts OF
admiring frlends, upon her first APP
pearsnce. She was moved to tears by
the demonstrations OF welcoma and II
was come little time before she
recovered hersef sufficiently TO pro.
coed with her role. During the whole
Of tho evening she was the recipient
OF recalls double anu triple anu no
doubt she will ever remember the
occasion Of her re-appeaTGuce in this
city. In her scenes with her father
(HowArd Kyle) there were no outward
signs OF restraint or reserve, Os was
partly expected, anu she insisted upon
his sharing the nonors with her, wheIe
they were intended. In the engage
meut OF Victory BsIemaD tbs Grand
management have made n ten strike
and they are TO be congratulated.
Caprice, the bill presented last night,
is charming little romance with a
tinge OF tie sympathetic in 1t that
makeR 1t interesting and 1t was pre-
scented la u splendid manner. Waiter
Edwards rs ths young artist, was in
his element anu his work was admir-.
ably done. Howard Kyle as the old
farmer, Jethro Baxter, did y splendid
bit of character acting, with studied
attention TO detail and he was greatly
appreciated. Mr.. Wyuga.e, as usual,
was breezy and congenial, while
Blakemore rs Philanler Potts created
a whole grlat OF fun. Tommy Rose
was perfectly at home as the cAuet,
and Hugh Ford sustained well the roe
OF jacks father.
Miss Izstte, Mise Marshall and Mlss
Dupont htted admirably 10 their
retained the well earned favor she
received as Mercy Baxter 10 this play
