ADJUSTMENTS.

A company OF very clever interpreters Of
farce comedy opened three night engage
ment at Boyd's theater Thursday night, pre-
senting the Rays "A Hot Old Time" The
play was seen here last season with Johnnie
and Emma Ray as the bright particular
stars and did not create a very favorable
impression; in fact It was coarse and had
no redeemable features This year the com
pany which presents the piece has no
stars but is made up principally Of vaude'
VILE artists, who give a decidedly finished
and pleasing performance. The comedy is
one of those nonsensical things, full OF
horse play at which one cannot help
laughing and it furnishes two hours OF hilar-
ity. The specialties are all good especially
the dancing of John and Bertha Gleeson,
as well as that OF little Annie s.. Tel, known
as the bounding antelope The Gleesons
are very graceful and decidedly the best
dancers that have been seen in omaha for
some time. Miss st. Tells dancing is origi-
nal and her appellation of the nom de plume
has considerable significance. She handles
her limbs gracefully and moves in her dane
ing with an ease OF manner that is refresh
ing. The piece continues tonight and sat
urday. Last nights performance was be.
fore quite a large audience.
