ADJUSTMENTS.

Tbeater--The grand old historic and
romantic play of 'Richelieu" at the
theeter last night, drew the largest
audience which has yet assembled TO
greet Mr.. Mantell and his company.
While this play to Salt Lake theater
goers Is so old as almost to be hack
neyed, yet in the hands of an artist
like Mr.. Mantell it is invested with a
freshness. a vigor and j new life which
cause one to forget its age, and the
stirring episodes OF the play are so
well portrayed by the excellent COM
pany that they thrill with all the de-
light that used to greet Richelieu In its
virgin days.
Mr.. MantelTs Interpretation of the
willy cardinal is strongly impressive,
clear cut and majestic He has chosen
not to give the part the foxy, cunning
shades with which most actors invest
It, but he rather draws the character
on lines of dignity PATRIOTISM ana
loftiness of purpose. In the telling
climaxes. and especially In the great
scene where he invokes the curse of
Rome upon those who would dare 20
tear Julie from his side, he rose to
grandeur and here he was greeted with
tempestuous applause; the curtain calls
we're as hearty and enthusiastic as
usual. The supporting company has
never been seen to better advantage.
Mr.. Burby has done nothing better
than his Baradas and Mr.. McGinn was

cumulation, by her rendition of Julie
