ADJUSTMENTS.

Browns in Town" which will be the
attraction at the Opera House next
Thursday evening, has for its story
theme that is entirely new. 1t is woven
around eleven characters. each one Of
whom has a distinct reason for being
there. Abel Preston and his son, Dick,
are not Of the same opinion concerning
the subject of marriage. Abel contends
that a man is Infinitely better on in a
state Of single blessedness. while the
SON demonstrates his position by mar
rying. This action on the part of Dick
means disInheritance and the situations
and complications that arise for the
older Preston are too farcical for ex-
PLANTATION. It's Ingenious construction
and witty dialogue, together with the
swltness Of its action, bring many sur
prises. The music and songs inctden-
tai to the farce are all original and do
not mar the action Of the play. The
company includes such capable people
as Lew H. Newcomb, Fred g. Hearn.
Clayton Kennedy. Frank x. Hope. Wall
lace West, John T. Hall. Sara G. Os-
good, Lillian stillman, Edith Well. Flor
ence Irving and Edythe Terry.
