ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Bold Soccer Boy"

For play that is bright and clean
and full of fun, it will be quite while
before one is seen in Augusta that will
go ahead of Andrew Mack'S comedy
drama. The Bold Soger Boy" which
he presented at the Opera house. Sat
urday evening. The scene is laid at
Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island. and
though the character Of the drama is,
as would naturally be expected. de-
cidedly military. there is enough home
life intermingled to temper the dis
cipline of the camp, and the spirit of
the play is such that it catches the
audience at once. Mr.. Mack. as Gerald
Adair, was good. as he always is. and
he WAS ably supported by the entire
cast. His musical numbers, too. We're
we'll rendered, and he was generously
encored litter each. There were no
'slOW" characters in the cast. and even
the four youngsters. who made their
presence apparent from time To time.
We're up to the limit.
