ADJUSTMENTS
"HiEARTSEASF. IS


Henry Miller played "Heartsease" at
the Opera House last night, and II was
the general verdict OF these fortunate
enough to see It. that 1t is the most
charming play produced here for many
seasons. It is dainty, clean and whole
some, wttlal has plenty OF stirring ac-
ton, and IS decidedly refreshing after
the so-called society and problem"
plays with which the public Is surfeit-
ed. There is considerable music Incl
dercal to "Heartsease," and 1t was de-
lightfuily rendered by the Opera House
Orchestra, under the direction OF Sam
T. Compton. ]. T. Zimmerman, musi-
cal director Of the company, is stll an
other to congratulate Mr.. Compton
upon the excellence Of his orchestra.
Mr.. Miller had been here before in
Sewing the Wtnd,' but this was his
first visit in a stellar capacity. He ia
thorough artist, and his conception
of the role Of Eric Tempe Is beyond
criticism, yet the warm appreciation
of the audience last night would stir
the blood of a much older star.
AS is usual with Charles FrohmRnS
companies, the support was fautless.
The play. which was in the time of
1885. gave an opportunity for superb
stage settings, and all the appoint
ments indicated an attention to detail
and munifcent expenditure that is ex-
traordlnary

spEcrAn. MAr1NEE PRIcEs.

Lincoln ]. Carter, author of so many
successful melo-dramas. is a man Of
remarkable fertility Of invention. In
his latest pay, The Heart of Chicago" {"
which appears at the Opera House on
Saturday afternoon and night, he has
succeeded in introducing something
absolutely new to the stage. It is the
much-praised approaching train scene,
in which an engine and line Of cars is
seen TO be approaching the footlights,
apparently from miles away. for fully
ten minutes without for one moment
becoming lost to view. This scene oc-
cupies ten minutes from the time the
engine is first seen to the moment the
ergina comes to a hat at the foot
lights. Those who have seen ap-
preaching train pictures as thrown on
screens by the vitascCpe, cinemato-
graphe and other animated picture
machines. can appreciate the beauty Of
the scene. But it is not accomplished
by pictures. A heavy engine and real
men at the throttle and fire box, aided
by a double stage, clever perspective
arrangements and complicated stage
apparatus, fairly outdoes Edison. Spe.
cial prices are made for the matinee
the gallery at 10 cents, and children IL
cents, with down stairs at 25 and 81
cents.
