ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera-house this even
ing Nance O'Neil appears once more re-
turning by special request from an in
terror engagement, to again present,
as she did a year ago on the same
stage. her splendidly horrifying and
pitifully touching personation of Nancy
Sykes in "Oliver Twist" with Mckee
Rankin as her foil in the role of Bill
Sykes, a part in which he is simply re-
pulsively lifelike and brutally success
full. We know and have heard of no
modern actress who is a stronger
Nancy Sykes than Miss ONeil. Some
of the old school geniuses who We're
famous Nancys could they look upon
the work of this new light in that role,
would applaud her to the echo. In
questionably the Opera-house will be
crowded tonight by people to sympa
thize with starved Oliver, to despise
Fagin and to restrain themselves by
violent effort from rising to curse the
brutal Bill. People will pour out
their hearts pity for poor degraded,
abused, beaten and murdered Nancy,
who, despite the pitiful level to which
she sank, was good at heart tender
and merciful and loving, even to the
dragged her mutilated body to the dark
closet, whence she crawled in her dying
moments in vain endeavor to kiss the
hand that sent her darkened soul to
judgment.
There was a fair audience at the
Clunie Opera-house last night. The new
low comedy Mile. Fifi'' was produced
by the company headed by Maud Gran
ger. She is as clever in comedy as she
was in society and emotional dramas
years ago. She has the good taste and
courage to now adopt such roles as
comport with more mature years. and
the result is that her Mrs Stafford.

was altogether excellent, and a fine ex-
ample of what good construction clev-
er artist can make out of Indifferent
material For the merit of the play is
wholly in its laugh effects; there is rot
even literary smartness in it, or gen
uine Wit. But it is a snappy, auda-
cious and somewhat suggestive laugh
proyOker. Once and again there is
suggested broadness, and some of the
lines are blush promoters. The plot is
decidedly original and is more than
clever In the original French it was
probably very indiscreet play-exceed-
ingly raw. But its adapters for the
American stage have been wise in their
day, and haYe toned it down pretty
nearly all it will bear without losing its
crispness and point. 1t was we'll play
ed and we'll staged, and it kept the aud
fence in a roar of laughter. The vita
graph pictures supplementing the COM
edy were quite good. We have had
equally as meritorious shown here be-
fore. The subjects were new and on
the whole pleasing.

On Friday last George Griffiths was
released from the County Jail, where he
served twenty days for disturbing the

TIE NEW GERMAN STAR.
FELIX SCHWEIGHOFER AND HIS Pc
CULIARITIES

Felix Schweighofer. who has been recognized
for many years as the greatest comedian on
the German stage. is a passenger on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse. and will be seen at the
Irving Place Theatre in Il series Of perform
ances under the direction Of Heinrich Conried.
To Americans who visit the theatres in Ger
many and Austria the versatile actor has been
known for long time, and there are few stages
in those countries where he has not been seen
repeatedly since he became star, nearly TWEEN
ty-two years ago Strauss. Milljcker and Suppe
wrote many Of their best parts for him, and his
OIendorf in The Beggar STUDENT and Bal
thasar in The Merry War were among his
masterpieces in that branch Of his work lie
was also the original Striese. in "Raub der
Sabnernen." While he took the leading parts
there the Theater an der Wien was the centre
OF German comic opera
Schwclghofcr was born in Brnn, Austria in
1872 and at an early age was put behind
store counter. where he was to take his iirst leg
sons in business But he had no ambition in
that direction and joined little provlhcai
troupe of players, and although he had 10 work
hard for little pay he remained in the proieS-
sion. His bographcr says that once, when soy
eral seasons Of starvation salaries had so under
mined his health that he broke down complete
ly he was sent to a wretchedly equipped coun-
try hospital, where he met n woman who took
an interest in the poor stroller. and helped tc
nurse him back to health and strength. Ths
was the one romance in Schweighofers life, ana
was heightened out through thirty years OF
happy married life
He became a favorte many years ago re-
ceived good compensation for his work saved
his money and built beautiful villa at Dresden
which is now his home, and where his wife died
about two years ago leaving the great actor
as one of his friends said "who had moved
thousands upon thousands Of people to hearty
laughter broken hearted"
The first inducements to come to America were
held out to Schweghofer in 1851 and nearly
every year since that time managers have asked
him TO come but his wife's objection to making
an ocean trip was always his reason for decIiE-
ing the tempting offers.
