ADJUSTMENTS

ufe var excellence of the bill at the
0arrick this week. With the poise
and finish Of college graduates the
Nagsar Girls, in cap and gown, give a
delightful performances on a variety Of
instruments; il would in fact be diff
cult to tell which is their most pleas
ing selection. The electric ballet in
troduced as the finale is a beautiful
and effective bit OF stage work and was
received with emphatic approval. Ihe
Nassar Girls have four more weeks in
America before starting on a European
tour. The Newsboys Qunrtette offer a
very entertaining contribution to the
bill in the way of a singing number.
Howard and Howard, parody singers
and comedians, are also an important
factor. Nine. Doherty's Twelve White
foodles show the asibilities of in
telli2ent animal training, and the act
cannot fail to interest every where. j.
Il. Murray and Clara Lane, operatic
stars, present a very pretty singing
ana comedy number, introducing some
operatic selections that are decidedly
pleasing. James F. Kelley and Annie
Mabel Kent, in comedy, singing and
dancing, offer a strong sketch, and
one that does them much credit.
Acker and Orooker, a comedy duo, and
the kinetograph, complete the pro-
gramme this week. The opening per-
tormances yesterday we're largely at
