ADJUSTMENTS.

There was no doubt in anybody's
mind at the Salt Lake theatre last
night that Mr.. Drew and his company
could fill the house for three nights at
least. The audience was one of the
largest and most brilliant of the sea-
son. People were tucked away in every
available corner, ara there were many
who were obliged to stay away alto
gether.
It is so seldom that salt Lake is ia
vored with a real original production
Of a play which is not at least ten
years old, that to us it partalzes of the
nature Of a bargain sale. with the at
tending rush The few prompt ones
secure the prizes, and the others must
take what is left-either poor seats or
none at all
The Tyranny of Tears" is a this
years production, and was written by
HaddOn Chambers, the Australian
playwright He calls it "a comedy Of
temperament" which is apt. In short,
however, it is one Of those refined,
clever, quiet plays of the society type
which are remarkable for their finesse
and interesting for their human nature.
The Tyranny of Tears" is not alone
cIever-it is refreshingly original The
piece presents but few characters, and
each one of these was admirably
drawn.
1t has been repeated many times of
John Drew that he is always the same.
This still holds true, his admirers are
happy to say He is still the polished
drawing room actor, the delightful CO.
median, with deep feelings subtIy por-
trayed under his fiippancy. His mag
netism remains undiminished. Miss r.
wing, his leading support, Is beautl-
ful woman, and last night wore some
stunning gowns. As an actress she has
a peculiar school girlish method, with
a suggestion of Ada Rehan in her pet
tish moods. The part of Miss Parbury
was excellently suited to her rather
laChrymose style. She has moments of
weakness sin the delivery of her lines
which seem incongruous with her wide
experience. Miss Ida Conquest shares
the honors with the star, and presents
one of the cleverest pieces of acting
we have seen in Salt Lake for many a
day. Her performance Of the stenog-
Tapher was capital.
Frank z. Lamb, an inimitable actor
in servant roles. was happily placed,
and did his bit admirably. Mr.. Ar
thur Byron, as the cynic. was also de-
serving of high praise for his work.
The beginning Of the first act was
spoiled by the confusion created by late
corners. 1t was not only annoying to
those already in their seats, but eX-
ceedingly discOurteOus to the actors.
The curtain rang up promptly at the
advertised time, as the company left
for the coast on the midnight train.
This rule should be observed at every
performance, and all the tardy ones
should be compelled to remain stand
ing until the next intermission.
