ADJUSTMENTS.

Theatcr-Manager Pypcr's Christ
mas offering was one iii all ways de-
serving the name of a. feast. The visit
of q company of players like that
which Is rendering paid In Full" Is
SO rare that 1t fully deserves the over
whelming patronage bestowed upon it
thus far, and the chances are that the
house will sell out for the two re-
manning presentations this afternoon
and evening
Paid In Full' fairly pulsates with
the human problems of today, and
while IL sometimes causes q shock by
what 1t suggests rather than what 1t
says. 1t still inpresses SO telling n
moral holds up to such admiration
the conduct Of the loyal Wife, and pic
lures in such detestable colors the era
ven character OF the wealk!ing husband,
that 1t Is Impossible not to accord 1t
the highest Communications The man
agement too, deserves credit for send
Ing on the road Il company in all ways
equal to that which brought out the
piece in New York; in fact, having
seen both, the writer thinks the palm
should be awarded to our visitors
Every characterization was clear cut
and nasterful, Miss Sara Perry lived
up to her old time high reputation in
the part of the wife; her reading Is
especially beautiful. MI siggins in
the difficult role of Capt Williams,
showed the artist of the most legiti-
mate accomplishments. Mr.. Brown In
the part--of "Jimsy" could give the
New York original many valuable
hints. Mrs Gibson in the part OF
Brooks, the scoundrelly husband, who
would have sold his wife to save him
self from jail, did some intense work
and his business" was especially I'D
nllrable. He Is so good an actor that
lie Il l1yl-I, Tia IN, 4
him that he might Improve his ren-
dltlon by playing It with less violence
at the beginning; no actor could hope
to have his voice hold out through
four acts of such Intense work, il he
put on full steam at the start. The
little girl Beth" was rendered by Miss
Darling in most dainty fashion, and
the part of the mother was portrayed
with good taste by Rose Snyder.
Max Fisman-MaN. F'iglnan will be
the New Years attraction at the Salt
Lake theater for three days, commence
ing Thursday night. with nlatinees New

ColoninI-The standing Room
Colonial last night when The Devils
Auction" was given. The last per-
formance occurs tonight.
Grnnd-The Grand theater drew
heavy patronage yesterday afternoon
and evening, the house being filed on
each occasion. The bill was THE
Queen of the Rockies" and it was rem
dered in q highly satisfied ry manner
by the Scott company, with Miss Doro-
thy Marke and Mr.. George w. Scott in
the leading roles. The piece is of the
melo-dramatic sort, of the kind that is
best pleasing to patrons of the house.
At least that was the verdict, almost
unanimously rendered, by the audience
when called upon by MI. Scott to ex-
press a preference. Upon the prevail
policy of the management and for an
indefinite period melodrama. will prevail
at the Grand. There will, however. be
somewhat OF n variety, az between
act performances will be much In evil
dence. and there will be moving pic
lures as well. Next week Will witness
& change of bill.
