ADJUSTMENTS.

Thcatcr--Every seat in the parquet
and first circle of the theater last night
represented a dollar, whether 1t was oc-
cupied or not, and there was very little
vacant space in any part of the house;
upstairs, 200 newsboys were stored in
reserve for the big number on the
stage. when Policeman Penrose intro
iuced the "Elks Canaries," and the 200
youngsters Sent forth an ear-splitting,
,ut not untuneful whstling accom-
anIment to the song going on the
tage. This feature, the audience en-
ored several times. The night was full
surprises, and the work done by the
sntlemen who engineered the enter
IN ent was OF the Leviathan order.

wbse rendition of the tramp was good
Throughout. Later he sang, THE Ros-
ary' in white face, and was heartily
splauded for a very sweet rendition.
Mr. Penrose. as the Irish policeman,
mae several hits In his song numbers
and the chorus work, especially of the
ADDS, was charming; the young girls
mach, In cowboy costumes, was one of
the most heartily applauded features of
the night. +. z. Christensen had the
serious role of the evening and read
his lines well, though rather slowly.
His part, however, cast something of
gloom over the whole presentation,
which probably was what the author
Intended. Mrs. Thomas ID. Pitt, had
brief bit in the part of "Rag-Time Liz
but did it capitally. The Salvation
army act was also good. Miss B'itz-
patrick was strongly applauded for her
rendition of "Carissima." Billy Baxter
and the chorus in Take a Car" had
Dig round of applause. Others who
scored well were Mr.. Van Fleet. Fred
wood, Miss Farnsworth. Mr. Khoum-
Ran, and some who did lesser bits,
whose names were not obtainable.
