ADJUSTMENTS.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE,
BANDIT KING,

"The Cattle and Bandit Kings'
which made a fortune for their
owner Mr.. James H. Wallick, and
which also brought his name into
tame as being one Of the mosu sue
cessful of American managers, will
be revived this season 10 a m ost
elaborate manner. Both plays
have been rewritten aud brough bit
to date aud will be presented by
a remarkably strong Company led
by that talented young leading
man Mr.. John J. Farrell who has
made for himself quite a name as
an Interpreter OF romantic roles.
He is naturally gifted with good
looks and manly bearing aud is an
ideal representative Of characters
OF the western border drama.
Both plays are OF course of
rather sensational character, but
void OF all that might be considered
in any way rough or grating on the
feelings of the sensitive nature.
Both plays are devoid of murders
and blood curdIlng scenes which
make me!odrama repugnant as
rule. a charming love story runs
through both, interspersed with
enough domestic comedy to make
them entertaining.
The "Bandlt King" will be given
at the Grand Opera House on next
Thursday evening and the "Cattle
king at special Friday matinee
and also on Friday evening.
