ADJUSTMENTS.


1.-THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray' was produc-
ed by Mrs. Patrick Campbell at the Co
lumbia Theater last night. It is one Of
the plays which have been helped to fame
by controversy as to It's morals, as we'll
as by its intrinsic merits as a drama. The
heroine, although of undeniably shady
character, has been chaperoned by a num-
Der of eminent actresses into the good
graces of large and highly respectable audi
ences. Mrs. Campbells performance of the
part last night compelled the same recogn1-
ton of her talents which was shown on
the occasion of her performance Of Mag
d." 1t was a very large audience, and
one which represented the best element OF
this citys play-going population.
THE BURGOMASTER-Th .'Burgomas-
ter and his coterie of mirth makers are
announced for return engagement at the
Columbia next week, where wit. beauty and
song will again reign supreme. On the occa-
sion of The Burgomaster's" previous pro-
duct!on In Washington everything went with
Whirl. There will be the same array of
tuneful marches, topical songs, new and
original specialties, "Bowery spielers,"
quaint Dutch cadets, Broadway soubrcttes,
seaside fairies, English swells and yacht
ing sports. Songs and dances were en-
cored time and again, at the previous en-
gagement, until the whole piece stood a
good chance of being presented twice at
one performance. The cast includes Her
Broderick, Harry lie Lorme, Ernest Saliva
tor, Joe Nicol. Will r. Peters, Andy Ly-
nam, J. s. Murray. Edith Warrington, Har-
riet Standen. Madeline Winthrop and

DAVID HARUM.-It is just year ago
since Mr.. Crane presented David Harum'
at the National Theater, where he Is to
give it again next week, and in the interim
the comedy dramatized from Westcotts
novel has had highly profitable and sue
cessfu1 tour. For six weeks it ran in Chica-
go, and it has just concluded a run of two
months in Boston. Its biggest week finan-
cially was spent in ST. Louis, where, at the
regular prices of the Olympic Theater, it's
receipts amounted to S17OO4.50. For years
Mr.. Crane, whose hobby Is the frequent
presentation of plays dealing with Ameri-
can scenes and characters, has been pro-
ducing a succession of new plays, but from
present appearances it is going to be a
long time before the public will permit the
actor to lay aside the makeup and physical
semblance of Westcotts shrewd old hero.
In the cast to be seen in the play will be
Mr.. Sampson, Mr.. Jackson, Mr.. Burbeck,
Mr.. Nichols, Mr.. Blake. Mr.. Dupont, Mr..
Rawley, Mr. De We're, Mr.. Avery, Miss Mes
bitt, Miss Meek and Miss Clark.

at the Columbia Theater on the afternoon
of April 1 in conjunction with Josef Hof-
Manu. the Polish pianist, and Jean Gerardy,
virtuosi, which is composed Of Ysaye, Will
helmj and Joachim. Twelve years ago
Kreiser first toured this country, and was
then adjudged by the press and musicians
"a wonder-child." Last year he returned
to this country for his second tour, and in
Boston his recitals were attended by such
crowds that he was compelled to give seven
recitals. and they only stopped then because
new dates could not be given. This season
he has renewed his successes in that city,
and his last recital drew an audience which
filled Symphony Hall, the capacity of which
is 1900 KrieSler is today the greatest
violinst heard here in the last fifteen years
even overshadowing the successes Of the
great Ysaye when he first toured this coun-
try. He possesses all of the qualities that
go to make the fine artist. His technical
skill is amazing and Of phenomenal bril-
liancy. He has a broad, strong eloquent
tone, and in addition deep and potent
something that stirs and thrills the emo
tons of his hearers.
