ADJUSTMENTS.

In many respects the most brilliant
event Of the theatrical season Is the
engagement Of Viola Allen, now going
on at the Theater The opening last
night was attended by critical and
representative audience, The attend
ance was heaviest In those sections Of
the house where the prices we're larg-
est upstairs, where the tariff had been
doubled the gathering was slim, and
while the absence of the regular gal
lery habitues had perceptible effect In
the warmth Of the demonstrations
there was und0ubted relief In the still.
ness which pervaded the house and the
rapt attention with which every detail
was followed
The production of I'm the Palace OF
the King is regal one. Nothing like
the scenic lnvostiturc has been Wit
messed for many a season past, Added
to all this, Miss Allen aud her man
ayers present group OF players every
member Of which Is up to her own stan
dard and nothing more hattcring to
the audience could be- proffercd than
this. Miss Allen herself was OF course
the central object of attention, Since
the old days when, as a slip OF n girl
che first began TO appear In Salt Lake
she has held y strong place In the Aztec
tions OF our thealerguerg II we mis-
take not, her initial how was made here
In the character OF Esmeralda. Later
she appeared with Henry Miller In
Held by the Enemy. Later stlll. with
the same actor In Sowing the Wind
All her creations stamped her az an
artist OF magnetism and " the keenest
intelligence. Her part In the Palace
OF the King gives line opportunity for
the display Of her whole range of tai
ent. aud even though the audience last
night was at first inclined TO be silent,
she thawed through It's reserve ana re-
oeived some great recalls Perhaps the
finest acting of the evening after that
Of Miss Allen. was the king OF Mr..
Honey. a cold cruel lncisiye concep-
ton. which no one but an artist could
enact In the proper style. Mr. pascoe's
Don John was handsome, manly and
heroic to the ideal degree. Mr. Hoy az
the court fool also contributed an ex-
Cellent piece OF character work The
veteran actor, Mr. Allen, whose comedy
attachments are 40 well known, has but
a small part and not being recognized
til the play was well along. he was
deprived Of the reception which his
friends would undoubtedly have ac-
corded him,
