ADJUSTMENTS.
Park-.In Name of the Gar"

The New Parks second week started Off
almost as we'll as the first. In point of at
Effectiveness it will take the lead for the
bill for the week comprises two plays, each
new, strongly cast and well staged. In
the Name of the Car" which opened yes
terady, is a play along the lines which
made Siberia" such a success years ago.
AS presented at the Park yesterday to two
large audiences, it impressed every one as
a strong production. The company includes
Fred Montague, Lettie Allen, James Nc
Cam, Jerry Keenan,, Lizzie Kendall, Gus
Bruno and others The story is one of the
hard lines into which two young lovers fall
because of the girls guardians's wish to
marry her. The guardian is a man who
sticks at nothing to accomplish his ends
and he tries through five acts to kill off
Alexis Silvich, the hero of the play. In
this he is abetted by woman named Cora
Ferona, and the five acts are well stocked
with exciting episodes. The company's car
of scenery went astray en- route here from
Chicago and did not arrive until late last
night, so that the play was not staged as
realistically yesterday as it will be to-day.
Gus Bruno and others introduce specialties
of much merit. The performance was re-
ceived with enthusiasm yesterday. 1t will
Thursday THE Heart of Chicago" Lincoln
j. Carriers new spectacular sensation, comes
for three days.
Empire--'sMouIin Rouge"
The shows Of the two preceding weeks
were responsible for rather light Monday
afternoon attendance at the Empire yester-
day at the opening of Fred Riders Moulin
Rouge" extravaganza. AT night the attend
ance was fully up to the average. The
performance is arranged on the farce-com-
edy idea, being made practically continu-
Gus, the olio being sprinkled through an
attenuated play. Some clever performers
are shown. Lucia Cuerbo and Alice Nolan,
the Blackberry Twins made a success
in an exhibition of quite "coonish wing
dancing and singing; Cooper and Stewart
gave a sidewalk dialogue that was mer-
itorious; the comedy sketch of the Bern
ards was productive of an earnest recall;
Gordon and Lick gave a musical turn that
would be better if the conversational half
were shortened. and Harris and Walters's
act was the same old Harris and Walters
act which has been seen so much that regu-
1T from sheer force of habit. 1t is notice
able that Mr.. Harris in his joke about the
COW" of the leg, still puts the question,
"who ever heard of veal sixty-fiVe years
old?' Notwithstanding the fact that In
dianapolis paper in one of its original and
illustrated jokes last week put the age at
forty-ftVe or Whereabouts This is flying in
the face of authority. Though Mr.. Harris
has been saying 'siXty-fVe' for the last
five or six years, at least when the oracle
comes out with a twenty-year discount,
that settles it, and the rash vaudevillain
Will have to beware. The Urine sisters are
a pair of mezZo soprano vocalsts of much
more merit than is usually exhibited in a
travelling variety show. Their work won
them several recalls. The women of the
show are really a good-looking lot as adj
vertised, the costumes and special scenery
are handsome and the team work of the
whole company is harmonious and done
with q will and some filth. The Moulin
Rouge will remain all week
