ADJUSTMENTS.

One OF the great plays Of the last few
years in this country is De Miles 1.-THE
Lost Paradise" which will be presented
by the stock company at the Grand all this
week. opening tonight. When the play was
first produced in New York it achieved an
imme liate success of the most fattering
kind, and received at once the approval of
both critical and popular taste. an indorse-
ment thoroughly ratified wherever the drama
has since been presented. 1t is a work
marked by brilliant theatrical and realistic
effects, and the friction between capital and
labor give it somewhat the flavor of a
moral lesson, although the author never
reaches tiresome preachiness in the setting
forth or his arguments, with dainty heart
touches and quaint bits of comedy woven
into the story. The play abounds in strik-
ing and forcible situations. No one who
saw it when previously presented here will
forget the stirring realism of the second act
and its realistic representation of the iron
foundry. THE Lost Paradise promises to
be staged with that same artistic attention
the stock company. The regular Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees will be given.
