ADJUSTMENTS
MAX FIGMAN.

Since all the world loves a lover
and equally loves to laugh there is no
doubt that one of the most satisfact-
DRY plays that will be seen here this
season will be THE Man on the Box"
with Max Figman as the star, support
ed by an unusually clever company.
THE Man on the Box" is a clear cut
comedy adapted from Harold Nc
Grath's book Of the same name by
Grace Livingston Furniss. That the
story has lost nothing in the play Is
proven by the fact that the play ran
over 300 nights in New York City and
was the consuicuous comedy success
Of last season. Mr.. Figman has made
the hit of his life as the hero, at
the Metropolitan on New Years day.
"THE GIRL FORM OUT YONDERn
WITH ADELAIDE THURSTON.
The dainty, little bit of theatrical
Dresden China, Adelaide Thurston,
will be seen at the Metropolitan
theatre next Monday in her new play
of the fisher-folk along the coast of
Maine, by Pauline Phelps and Marion
Short. 1t is called "The Girl From
Out Yonder." The part of Flotsam
that Miss Thurston plays is that of
a young girl, reared amid the rude
surroundings of lighthouse on an
island. The only womanly influence
she has known in the seventeen years
of her life is that of vousin Simonson,
who keeps house at the lighthouse for
Flotsam's father. But from the rough
honesty of her dad" and constant
communion with the ocean itself, she
has absorbed all those qualities that
go towards making noble woman. A
naturally poetic nature has been fost-
cred and expanded by reading Shake
speare, which, with the Bible are the
only books she has ever had. 1t is
wholesome, breezy, altogether low
able character, that of Flotsam, and
one that seems to be entirely in keep
keeping with the charming little ac-
tress's own. A fine company and sup
erb scenic production have been pro-
vided by manager Francis x. Hope.
PEGGY FROM PARIS.
Everybody will wish to go to the
Metropolitan on Thursday, Jan. 3
The attraction will be Peggy From
Paris" George AIDES musical comedy
hit. There is certain laughter in
Peggy From Paris" 1t Is assured
by the fact that Geore AIDE is the au-
thor. Who has not heard and enjoyed
his Fables in Slang" and stories of
the Streets and of the Town" and his
other writings? Everybody is famil-
lar with their wit and cleverness; and
equal wit and cleverness abounds in
Peggy From Paris" Hence all
theatre patrons in this city and vicin-
ity will wish to hear the play. They
will want to enjoy the humor and
comedy, and further they will wish
to hear the music that was written for
Peggy From Paris" by j. A. Raynes.
Probably most everybody has heard
some Of the airs from this musical
comedy for they have taken strong
hold of public fancy. But they will
have to be heard as sung in Peggy
From Paris" to be fully appreciated.
The musical numb..s of this play
have scored great hits. There is the
male chorus college Days." and the
celebrated song "Emmaleen," in
which Mr.. Cicero Cramps is assist
ed by score of pretty girls. Then
there is the duet "The Girl Who Comes
in From the West" which has become
decidedly popular in New York, Boston
and Chicago, and there is "Hepny"
which has been sung and whistled
everywhere. "Lil, my Easter Lilly"
is another hit, as is the chorus, "Flirt-
alton" as we'll as several others. "Peg-
gy From Paris" abounds in attrac-
tive music and it is delightfully."- sung,
for principals and chorus are of the
kind that can do full justice to it.
