ADJUSTMENTS.

Every one at the Orpheum last night
joined the Optimist club. If there was any
one with crouch he suddenly lost IL

I Dill OF this week. few acts of the
quleter kind open it. but they are of high
excellence, and toward the latter part
although each number is good the WOrl,
seems to grow better and better till the
closing act, the headliner, Polly Pickle $
Pets in Petland.
Few acts put on the vaudeville stage
are in any respect superior to this The
entire production is largely spectacular
so ambitious is it in its setting. its prom
critics and its scenic effects But. of
course, the characters are the big thing
IN the act and "Pinky the Kittycat'' is
the centDal figure. From the opening cho-
rus, Has Any One Seen Kittycat?'' to
the close of The Jack-o-Lantern Man. -
and through several curtain calls the au-
dlence gives splendid imitation of be-
ing wen pleased. and the animals certainly
look right"
Just before this act come the favorites
Avery and Hart. who are about the fun
NEST pair ever put out, and whose an
.lcs keep the house in one long roar of
laughter. But it is not long enough and
they are recalled again and again, only
to make one last stand funnier than the
others
The little playlet, "A Trial Marriage. -
is splendidly done by Henry Keane and
Olive BriscOe. The sketch is up-to-date
and worth seeing. G. Herbert Mitchell
has knack of telling funny stories. but
those he sprung last night through a hara
cold were all of them of the groWn-ur
variety; certainly they were no longer
young. The audience paid him the high
compliment, however, of laughing at them
as if they were new, and he told them
so Wen that II seems pity to let on
that any one knew better.
The prettiest sight shown since the gay
Papinta entranced Salt Lake last year
was La Sylphe,' the dainty dancer of
the week With a graz and charm abso-
iuteiy Impossible to describe she glded
into the warmest spot in the hearts of the
playgoers, and danced to their delight
first as classical toe dancer next as the
Parisienne Zizoiette and last as Salome
till no one wondered how the last named
won her point If she compared with the
present one.
The bill opens with a unique musical
act by the Goolmans and the rest of the
music l!11nl. was was particularly fine, Mascagnis
with cordial burst of applause.
THE District Leader is only mildly
amusing. Much of the time it is not as
good as that People who have seen Lit
musical comedies will know where
author of The District Leader got some
of his ideas. The production is called "a
comedy drama with music" II contains
little of comedy, drama or music The
best voice in the company is that o.
Fred c. Truesdell. who sang whats the
Use of Dreaming" very effectively. Also
he acted his part of a dope fiendr in q
more than ereditable manner. The othe,
members of the company are ordinary
and members of the chorus that are no
now passing fair passed some time ago.
The engagement of THE District Lead
er ends tonight. A matinee will bt
