ADJUSTMENTS.
At the jefferson.

1.-THE Lilac Room was highly appreci-
ated by the audience gathered at the JEFF
ferson last night. 1t was emotional in
good part, for two love stories were car
red through it, set off, however, with
plenty of incident in the way of COM
edy and bright action.
In the play a breezy American girl en-
ters without any conventionality what
ever an English home. To tell the truth,
her first appearance was head first
through window. But once on the spot
in the staid old manor house, she pro-
ceeds In a most delightful way to win a
husband for herself, and to reconcile two
lovers in the house, and to send two vii
lains off to Jail. She seems to have come
to set things right.
Miss Bingham is the American girl with
western ways-Emily Painter. She simply
won the hearts of all last night. She was
vivacious, but she was ever womanly. She
never crossed the womanly line, although
she walked right up to it at times, and
the background at all times consisted
of the cultivated people she was thrown
among in the motherland.
All of her support were English play
ers, and they succeeded in giving the play
an English tone. Frederick Tyler, as
Captain Austin Phillipson Wingate, was
able to win not a little favor from the
audience. He was admirable In every re-
spect Miss Jessie Glendemming, as Mu-
riel Phillipson Wingate, was simply
charming. w. E. Bonney was villanious
enough to lend interest to the plot, and
Joseph Mann, as the curate, deserves
mention.
The handsome staging of the play, es-
pecially of the lilac room and of the
library, and the bright lines in 1t, and the
fine company, and the vim of the star
rendered the play interesting from start
to finish There was not a dull moment
In Il.
The play will be repeated at a matinee
this afternoon and again tonight.

that his young wife was dead. 1t was
just few minutes before the time for
him to begin his performance in the saw

sides with mirth did not know that his
heart was breaking and little dreamed
