ADJUSTMENTS.



The statement accompanies the an
nouncements of "A Nutmeg Match that
Mr.. Haworth wrote a comedy-drama. II
is all of that. and in the hands OF Mr..
Dailey's company IL lis also a melodrana.
a farce-comedy, and II the pile-driver had
done what the villain of the play intended,
II would have been tragedy. with sug-
gestion of high-class vaudeville.
The company producing "A Nutmeg
Match" Is decidedly clever. both in re-
spect to the work of Mr.. Heron and Miss
Williams, who are the featured members
of ii, and of the others. who contribute
a good support. Eddie Smith. who in the
opening piece OF the present engagement
has a small part. was the comedian OF the
Grau opera company when seen here in
the early part of the season.
Miss Lottie Williams is a dainty sing
ing and dancing soubrette. who made her
first bow to a Seattle audience last night,
and Mr. Heron is one of the best come
dians seen in musical comedy work in
this city. There Is a consistent plot. in
which yillainy and comedy are conspicu-
Gus. linked to the story by characters
that are necessary to make the piece sug-
gest the drama part of the title. The
specialties are excellent throughout and
the team work of Miss Williams and Mr..
Heron won many recalls. In the last act
Miss Mabel Maitland. who was not named
in the cast. introduced a contortion dance
that the large audience demanded en-
cored.
"A Nutmeg Match" will run until Sun
day night. Monday. Hoyt's "a Bunch Of
Keys" will succeed 1t, finishing the en-
gagement Wednesday night.
