ADJUSTMENTS.

James o'Nein in The Dead Heart was
last nights attraction at the Theater.
The attendance was not as large as was
anticipated but the house was COM
fortably filled. The Dead Heart would
almost seem TO be a companion piece
for Monte CristO. some of the action
being very similar The main action,
however. is during the eventful period
in French history during revolutionary
times when the uprising of the people
laid low the famous liastile and freed
Its many political prisoners and started
a new era in France. The Dead Heart
as a play Is not new by any means
and some of the old-timers here will
remember II as having been given dur
ing the early days of the Salt Lake
Theater, though under different title.
But under whatever cognomen II Is
seen, II ~ still the same interesting
play by James ONiel makes Of tho
role of Robert Landry, the hero of II,
a very strong and at the same time adj
mirable character of the sydney Car
ton kind, so excellently described by
Charles Dickens in his Tale OF Two
