ADJUSTMENTS
..The Explorers'' at the Metropolit

Musical attractions were presented at all
four Minneapolis playhouses last evening, the
only change of bill occurring at the Metropol-
itan, where ''The Eyalorers' ooened brief
return engagement before large and obv-
ously we'll pleased audience. Although the
original engagement here was concluded only
few weeks ago, 1.-THE Explorers show no
signs of diminished popularity. There were
persons in last nights audience, and not a
few Of them either, who had heard the piece
before, and who softly hunmed the music to
themselves as they glanced over the program
synopsis before the curtain rose on the first
act.
The only change of Importance either in
cast or production is the substitution of Miss
Edith Hutchins in the part of Mile. Qul Vive
for Miss Ruth White. who is taking a short
vacation preparatory to reioining the company
when rehearsals begin upon the new piece to
be produced this summer. Miss Hutchns has
a pleasing voice and, like her predecessor in
the role. a distinct. enunciation that makes
every word, whether spoken or sung, intelli-
gible. She was literally encored last eve
ming for her singing of Lady Champagne, y
and apparently the audience could not get
enough of 1.-The Way to Tame Lion sung
by herself and Mr.. earle.
L Richard Hunter, as Professor Bonaparte
Hunter, whose head is really "dome Of
thought and not a mere rendezvous for hair, .
has introduced some new business and one
or two lines since 1.-THE Explorers were
here before. Mr.. Carries methods of fun
making are unfailing. He was received with
nsistent applause upon his first appearance
last night, and has evidently established him
self firmly in Minneapolis favor. Knox Will
son also repeats his former hit as S. Max Nix;
and William Riley Hatch sings 'tSon of the
Hill and Plain in a manner fully deserving
of the enthusiastic applause it always evokes.
1t is matter for regret that better opportuni-
ties have not been given to Mr.. Hatch than
are supplied him III 1.-THE Explorers 1t
would have been SO easy to have written into
the first act a legend dealing with the picture
of Maize Fields. Let us suppose, for instance,
the natives had been made to believe that
disaster would befall them if the picture
should ever come to life. Such conceit,
while not particularly new, would provide a
motive for. a new scene in the second act,
when the Madagascar chief and Iowa queen
meet, which might be devised so as to give
the audience another chance to listen to Mr..
Hatch's magnificent voice.
Miss Agnes Paul, William B. Rock Miss
Josie Intropidi aud Carlton King are still with
the COMPANY. All Of them do satisfactory
work in their several roles. The Happy
Hotel Cleaners" chorus and the kindergarten
chorus OF the second act are always good for
half Gozen OF more encores.

quivering with defiance, rushed out of the
parlor and up to her room.
Poor Gwen! She was the youngest and had
therefore never grown out of childhood in her
sisters eyes.
Harriet and Francesca, aged respectively 40
and A. were so used to managing the
housekeeping, their mother, the parish chart
table work. the rector and sometimes the
rector's assistant, who had only been there
since Christmas, that they naturally expected
to keep on managing their little sister too.
Gwen did not agree. She beat help
lessly round in her cage, the great, gloomy
house where her two energetic sisters were
always criticising, commanding and forbid
ding.
She threw herself on the bed and tried not
to cry.
Harriet stood in the doorway, and Gwen
had jumped to her feet.
'Gwendolen, Mr.. Warde is down stairs, and
he has asked for you"
s'He probably wants me TO go and visit old
women said Gwen: 81 shant. l hate old

But Harriet had gone down stairs again to
talk to the young assistant.
Gwen followed slowly.
Francesca looked up first when Gwen
opened the parlor door.

she said briskly. He wants US to sing in the

is singular that with all orr Amer

1t is singular that with all our Ameri-
can energy and promptness we are unable
to hold commemorative expositions in the
anniversary years. The Worlds Fair at
Chicago, intended to celebrate the 40Oth
year since the discovery of America, was
postponed from 1892 to 1898, and now the
st. Louis exposition, designed to com
memorate the centennial of the Louisiana
purchase, has been put off from 1903 till
1904. Contrast this record for postpone
ment with the way in which the French
have opened their great expositions on
time. The trouble probably is that Amer
leans know they can do so much in a short
time when they set themselves to do it,
that they are willing to contract to do
more than they possibly can. The St.
Louis people ought to have begun active
work on their exposition at least five
years ago. The French began work on
the exposition of 1900 before 1895.
