ADJUSTMENTS.

'The Cotton King" with it's beautiful
scenery, it's wonderful stage mechan-
ism and its thrilling effects, will be
played again tonight at the Orpheum
at popular prices. The attendance.
while fair, has not been commensurate
with the heavy expense involved in
bringing the Webster Company here
and in staging so elaborate a play, with
such a mass of scenery and intricate
mechanism. This is to be regretted.
The theater-going public will have but
three nights more in which to show ap-
probation of managerial enterprise in
staging The Cotton King" and in
which to encourage it in giving US good
stage effects.
Some, not all, of the audience at the
Orpheum last night realized that there
came near being tragedy on the stage
in the play of THE Cotton King" In
the fourth act a great elevator lift, Op-
Grated by counter weights and con-
trolled by a system of ropes and pull
leys, descends through the heavily
barred elevator shaft. Into the bottom
of this shaft, level with the stage, the
villain of the play thrusts the heroine,
May Nannary, just as the lift platform
begins to come down. If ever it reaches
the woman prone on the floor, it will
fatten her like pancake. With all the
cheat there is about stage mechanism.
that platform is of a character no one
would care to have sent down upon
him, even gently. The hero (Webster)
was a bit late last night, or the lift
came down too fast. or something went
wrong. and Miss Nannary was snatched
from beneath the platform just in the
nick of time. Two seconds later and
the popular actress would have been a
good deal thinner than she is thick
There was tension of fright on the
stage that came near unstringing some
of the people behind the scenes. Miss
Nannary, however was not aware of
her narrow escape until the danger was
over. /. is her part to lie still and be
smashed if her lover does not break
IN and pull her out. But it is probable
she would have been less composed had
she known how near she came to being
fattened and made a subject for the
surgeons skill
