ADJUSTMENTS.

The great drama, THE Christian"
viii be seen at the Salt Lake theatre
tonight. In making the iramatization
of this play from his famous novel
Mr.. Game exercised the liberty of the
dramatist only to the extent absolute
ly necessary, and. while in some fea-
lures the play differs from the book,
such difference only tends to strength
en- the story. One of the most affect
ing scenes is said TO be where John
Storm enters the apartment of Glory
Quayle at night with the purpose of
making her pray and saving her soul
through death. But the love of Glory
triumphs- The play ends with d mu-
tual understanding between them, they
deciding to brave life's battle together.
The Christian" is at once the most
powerful, absorbing and intensely dra-
matte story ever written.
At the New Grand theatre tonight
the Cummings Stock company viii
make a radical change in the style of
play which it places before the public.
In Peaceful Valley a play in which
Sol Smith Russell won great success,
Mr.. Cummings and his company show
TO great advantage.
As Hosea Howe Mr.. Cummings plays
what is distinctly character part. He
is the rough, uncouth cOuntTyman, with
all the marked peculiarities of phrase
OIOSy UcAOuSlAlS 70 uoEL HeIn new OEh.
Some critics have asserted that he is
better in the part than its creator, Mr..
Russell.
The sale of seats for "Old Jed
Prouty," which is to be presented at
the Theatre the last three nights of
the week, begins tomorrow morning.
The play is an idyI of the New Eng
land farm, and Richard Golden has
made great success in il.
A. II. Lovett and Charles HARRISON of
the Boston Lyric Opera company,
which puts in all of next week at the
Theatre, are here ahead of the organ
izatiOn. This company is unique from
various StandpOints, but it has puzzled
many to think of their giving grand
opera and comic opera alternately. As
Mr.. LOvett explained last evening,
there are two separate sets of pTinci-
pals in the company One is for grand
opera, the other for comic opera The
weeks repertoire alteTnates each night
as between these two classes.
At the conclusion of the services in
the tabernacle yesterday afternoon,
Professor Mcclellan rendered the mem
bers of the James kidder company an
organ recital. Although handicapped
in operating the foot keys by the re-
suit of vaccination in one of the lower
lllnDS, PROFESSOR Mcclellan performed
superbly. At the request of Mr.. James
he gave the Pilgrims Song of Hope"
followed by the intermezzo from Rus
ticana-" As he finished the latter, the
great actor turned 10 a member of the
company and exclaimed enthusiastical-
ly, I defy you to believe there are
not female voices behind those pipes"
All through the recital Mr.. James Miss
Kidder and other members Of the COM
pany were in ecstasies. Mr.. James eX-
pressed the belief that the organ is the
greatest on the cOntinet
I've heard them ALL" said he, but
they cannot produce music like that"
The other numbers given by Profess
SOr Mcclellan were MendelsSOhn'S
Spring Song" the Pilgrim Chorus
from Tannhauser and Lemare's andan-
tino, ITO My Wife"
Professors Mcclellan and Goddard
leave for Nephi tonight to give their
lecture-Tecital and concert in conjunc-
ton with the Tabernacle choir of that
city.
The same event at Provo Saturday
evening was characterized as one of the
most successful musical fetes ever CIV
en- in that part of the state.
