 The following comment is from the Sydney Australian Bulletin:
 During the past dozen years Ameri- ca has sent us many entertainers. But the two best were Nat Goodwin and Cyrus Brownlee Newton. or Newton we must say he is typical "Yankee," " He possesses the dash, brilliancy and ric droll humor common in his coun- trymen, He is fresh, refined, original He keeps his audience In a continuous roar of laughter. Re has made deep impression here as an entertainer Of the first rank. Such able men, no mat ter from what part of the globe, are always welcome visitors to our shores. "
 Prof J. T. Lee, principal of the Skag- way school, has guaranteed Prof. New ton liberal amount to have him ap- pear here for one entertainment.
 live are to judge from the reports Of those who have heard Prof Newton those who do not go to hear him will regret it to their dying day.

ADJUSTMENTS
"A Madcap Princess" 1"

Sophie Barndt is not successful comedienne but she sings delightfully."-, she is a beautiful woman and therefore her performance at the Jefferson theatre last night was enjoyed, despite the fact that she exaggerated at times the strenu- ous young Mary Tudor, whom she DOT trayed. Miss Brandt has developed rap idly since last year. Her vocal powers are richer than ever, and every number she sang last night was treat She Is also becoming a better actress, and in a role which did not demand that she force her comedy she would be more pleasing than she is in "A Madcap Princess How ever, Miss Brandt's voice, her good looks and the handsome costumes she wore made amends. She was in capital form last night and most attractive.
 The company supporting Miss Brandt was adequate, as regards numbers and chorus singing, although the women were somewhat hard-favored. There was suf- ficient numerical strength to make the ensembles effective, and the tuneful music was well rendered George ODonnell, as King Henry VIII, showed most ability among the men. MT. O Donnell has an ex- celent voice and his songs were a pleas Ing feature of the performance. w. T. Ellwanger. as Charles Brandon, suited the part. so far as physical requirements were concerned, but he could neither sing nor act. Bert Merket was good in a minor role as jester, and Belle Ellsler was satisfactory as Lady Jane Bolin- broke.
 Miss Brandt has developed wonderfully since last year. She is one of the most captivating prima donnas who visits Bir- mngham, and she made many new friends last night.
