ADJUSTMENTS.

Theater-James O'Neill and his
company in their farewell presenta-
ton of Monte Cristo," open their en-
gagement at the theater this evening.
Orpheum-Most vaudeville acts like
most funny stories, are not built for too
frequent REPETITION. for which reason 1t
is safe to say that the older Orpheum
patrons will find less TO amuse In this
weeks bill than those who are less de-
voted to the vaudeville habit.
The bill is not bad, except that II is
rather commonplace after the heights
OF excellence attained last week. It's
feature Is perhaps the performance of
Cora" trained fox terrier, belonging
bill with al, act that won everybodys
heart last night. After that there was
little to offend by actual badness or
to please by special merit Anna Chand-
Ter sings some song limitations, in which
she Is good, but loses much of the point
on account Of the fact that the originals
whom she was mimicing are strangers
TO the audience. Sutherland and Curtis
in The Belle OF Jaytowp" present a
rather ragged act, consisting of a bit of
dialogue, a recitation. and song and
dance by the lady member. Neither of
the principals Is possessed OF extraor-
binary merit. The three troubadors
sing few songs, all plucked from the
same music tree. Mile. Esmeralds,
xylophone artist. is excellent on the in
strument, and wins goodly portion OF
applause.
Miss Lillian Chick. who loops the
loop. gets her start from a ''home train
err" which is three wooden POLLS turn
ing under her bicycle. AT a high rate of
speed the wheels are suddenly stopped,
she shoots around the loop and then, to
show how easy It Is to speed up Ike
that she shoots around again. OF
couldn't possibly give her speed enough
to shoot half way around the first time
does not In any way mar tho act, for II
Is beautiful to look upon, and Miss
Chick is about the daintiest bit OF fem
ininity TO skip across the orpheum
stage this season. The kinodrome goes
back for It's inspiration to the familiar
pursuit or fleeing party by con-
stantly augmenting crowd.
Grand--"Red River" which is the
bill for the first half of the week at
the Grand, is a melodramatic play of
southern life. In the hands OF Mr..
Torch and company II affords a pleas
ant evenings entertainment. Tho
thread OF the story IL that Louis DIAL
roi, Louisiana planter, is loved by
his foster-sister. who IL a Creole. HIS
young wife, northern girl. has the
enmity OF rejected lover. also Gre
ole. He Ia her husbands foreman,
which position gives him a good chance
TO SOW distrust In the mind OF his mas
ter. while he Is helped In his perfidy by
the Jealous Creole woman. Husband
and wife are all but totally estranged
when the true status OF affairs Is re-
yealed and the intriguers both meet
death. Miss Marsky shares the honors
OF the evening with Mr.. Lorch. while
Miss Anna Marvin has done nothing
quite 30 well here as the rendition OF
her part last night, Wednesday eve
Ming closes the engagements OF Mr.
Torch In these parts for some time TO
come. At the matinee tomorrow a 1907
piece dinner set viii be given 10 the
holder OF a lucky number.
Lyric--"Brother for Brother Is
now running smoothly at the Lyric.
The opening performance was not all
that could be desired, as some OF the
players we're not up In their parts. But
a couple OF rehearsals and an addition
al performances set everything IN prop
Or order and the promptsr was relieved
OF his task,
The play ID a melodrama which ar
fords opportunity for spirited action.
and there are many situations calculat-
Cd 70 thrill and some to s,nuse. Last
