ADJUSTMENTS.

@ Plymouth Town." for the first time III
this city at the Columbia Theater next
Monday night. The play was written es-
pecially for Miss Dupree by Beulah Marie
Dix and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, and
is said to suit the peculiar talents of this
dainty actress in a most convincing man
ner AS the name implies. the play deals
with early New England life, but is on
original lines. There is only one real Puri-
tan character in the piece, and he pos
sesses all of the narrow minded, b1goted
traits of which readers are all familiar.
The others are in striking contrast. They
quarrel among themselves, fight with ra-
piers for the love of the heroine, Rose de
la Noye Miss Minnie Dupree), make up
their differences and join forces against
the Indians, their common enemy. Ihe
scenic and mechanical effects are said to
possess several startling and novel stage
realisms. w. G. Smyth. under whose man
agement Miss Dupree is appearing, has
spared neither pains nor expense in the
production or the selection of cast The
first scene is an exact reproduction or the
interior of Miles Standshs home. The eX-
terror of the first captain of Plymouth S
home is also regarded as an artistic tri-
umph Among those who will be seen in
the support of Miss Dupree are: Guy Bates
Post, Augustus Cook, Bennet SturGis,
Douglass Fairbanks Edith Wright, Miss
Cornelia and Mrs. Sol. Smith
