ADJUSTMENTS

scenic features. coupled with humor and wealth of melody. are the distinE- uishfng characteristics of this lat est work of Messrs.t Pixley and Luders, and Kiaw and Erlanger have produced 1t on a scale of lavish magnificence that has never been paraIleled in stage offerings in this field of entertainment
 During the action of the story twen- ty-one musical nun .oe-s are introduced. The air of one of these, conspicuous for It's richness of melody. was composed by the late Queen Lilioukana and constitutes the national hymn of the Hawaiian people. This Mr. Luders has idealized. Ine music has been pro- nounced by critics as the most attract. i've and artistic that Mir. Luders has yet composed.
 Frank Moulan, who plays the lead ing comedy role, has the best opportu- mites of his career in the character Of G. Washington Barker, circus bar ker" who finds himself penniless in Honolulu and becomes identified with Lofty" Baldwin. the promoter of a captive balloon. Tn one of these exhi- bitions the balloon escapes and this in- cident translates the principal charac- ters and the locale of the story to the Island of Inde. where the last two acts are laid.
 All the original cast and ensemble accompanied by a complete orchestra of trained musicians, will be seen here.
 Grace George in ssDivorcons..
 Every young woman who aspires to theatrical honors--and most young peo- pie are predestined to stage fever as surely as to the mumps--will find rea- son for hope in the record of Grace George. the most youthful of contem- porary stars. whose rapid advancement is the cause of much comment in the- atricaf circles. Ten years ago Grace George had acted only as an amateur.
 She was born in Brooklyn. While still child. she manifested an inter- est in histrionic art that made her the inspiration for the founding of ju- veniIe company of which she was the head. With this company she worked some time so improving herself that, after an interval spent in 8 convent, where she receved her education. she successfully applied to Charles Froh- man.
 Her debut was made in farce called "The New Boy" Her impersonatipn in this piece brought her snewspaper praise, and so completely satisfied Mr. Frohman that she was re-engaged the next season to play .Anee" in Char ley's Aunt" Miss George created the role of Gretchen in 'The Wandering Minstrel" and scored the deepest im- pression of her brief career.
 About this time variety came to be metamorphosed into vaudeville. and the consequent growth of salaries in the continuous houses prompted Miss George to enter that field. She sup ported Charles B. Welles in his per- formance of Frederick Lemaitre," though only for a few months. Charles Dickson secured her, to play with him fin Jealousy" and In "An Undeveloped Bud" and these two pieces probably did more toward giving her recogt nized position than anything that had gone before.
 Her portrayal of the title role in the latter sketch brought about her fea- turing in William A. Brady's produc- Hons of "The Turtle" and Mile. Fifi." Subsequently, she was engaged for the part of Esther in Ben Hur" at the Broadway Theatre and later in romantic drama entitled "Her Majesty" She then appeared fin the play called Under Southern Skies"
 Since the above Miss George has had series of successes including Pretty Peggy" in which she impersonated the l great Wellington; "The Two Orphans" carrying off. as the blind Louise. the 1 honors of great ailSstaf cast: "Abi- gail" a pretty little comedy by Kellett Chalmers; "The Marriage of William Ashe." in which her Lady Kitty was a piece of sound emotional acting; |
 ''The Richest Girl in the World" which was abandoned also for the reason that ] its eyacttons were chiefly in the In- l genue line. Clothes" the satIrical comedy in which as Olivia Sherwood she showed the follies of the fashion l able world.
 This season Miss George Is appear | ing in Sardou's comedy "Divorcons." as the charming but frivolous Cypri- enne. In this role both in London and New York she is credited with making the hit of her career. The manage ment of the Grand considers it espe- cialIy fortunate that they have been able to secure Miss George for the opening attraction Thursday night at the handsome new theatre.
