ADJUSTMENTS
"SULTAN OF SULU."

A good show is always good and that
in substance, tells the tale of the sue
cess of the Sultan of Sulu," which
opened a two-nights' engagement at
the Keylor Grand last night. The audi
ence was not as large as it should
have been-the show is entitled to ca
pacity business at every performance
but it was thoroughly appreciative
and not a number passed, but it re-
ceived the applause it merited.
The generally accepted rule in north
west theatrical circles is that visit
ing company is never as good upon a
return engagements as in years gone by
but such is not the case with the Sui
tan of Sulu." If anything, the players
are a higher class, with possibly one
or two exceptions, and the chorus is
one of the best seen here in musical
comedy
There is life to the performance as
a whole and everyone seems to work
for ensemble instead of individual bril-
liancy. This fact gives to the perform
ance a particularly pleasing and breezy
wave. The Sultan" again holds court
at the Keylor Grand tonight.
