ADJUSTMENTS

CAPRICE. The Grand seemed to
leap back into poular favor at one bound
last night. For months The Herald has
been telling the management of that
pltce OF amusement what was the matter
with their business, but other advisers
nave insisted that this or that leading
lady was everything to be desired. and
tnat all she wanted was an opportunity.
W.. w me the managers We're patiently wait
ing Tor the opportunity to turn up. their
patronage drlfted hopeleSsly away and at
laSt IN desperation they took the stem
they should have taken long ago-engaged
demonstrated that she was no exDeri-
ment. The re-entry of Victory Bateman
last evening was made a distinct event.
The house was packed back to the doors
and when the lady stepped unon the
stage such 4 fusilade of roses met her
from all quarters that for a moment she
Iost herself and 1t seemed as though she
was gong to indulge in a good old
fashioned blubber. The applause rolled
up, died away. rose again as she tried
to speak, and kept her silent for a full
minute: Her acting of the country girl
who afterward blossoms out into a city
lady, was as admirable as ever; il is one
OF her best parts, and the applause she
received was of the heartiest sort, while
curtain calls without number were de-
manded. AS souvenirs last evening pic
lures of Miss Bateman were given with
the programmes. and the demand was
such that they were exhausted early in
the evening. The cast was evenly eX-
cellent. and the work of all the people
as well as the general staging showed
more artistic care than has been evil
denced of late. Mr.. Edwards in Wright
Huntington'S part of the artist. got a
warm reception, and was at his very
best. Mr.. Kyle, the only original of the
old cast, does, in the farmer, a bit of the
best character acting he ever attempted
He, too, had warm welcome and while
there was Il good deal of curious buzzing
about the house when the urgencies of

(hiS daughter) to engage in some very
affectionate demonstrations, both passed
through the ordeal without any outward
evidences of embarrassment; of such is
the actors life. MIR. Wyngate was good.
as usual, and Mr.. Blakemore was fairly
humorous as Potts the part taken before
by George Lask. Mr.. Ross made an eX-
cellent part of the cadet, Hugh Ward's
old role and Miss lett Miss Dupont,
Mr. Ford and Miss Marshall lent excellent
support. The orchestra did some pretty
Alsatian Mountains and I'm the Gloam-
ing being specially well rendered. After
the performance Edison's vitascope en-
tertained the audience with some very
clever exhibitions.
