ADJUSTMENTS

one of the essential qualities Of first
class stock actor IS the ability 10 leap
from one part to another, no matter what
the extremes Of difference, and DO all OF
them reasonably well. Willard Mack
showed last evening that he could jump
from melodrama hsroics TO pure comedy,
and still land on his feet
The Offering at the Colonial was Prince
Kari" presented BY the stock company.
One Of the reasons why the late Richard
Mansfield accepted the play in tie flrst
place was because the title role dominates
the performance throughout It is hard
TO follow in the footsteps OF such a
genius and Mr. Mack acquitted himselt
creditably. The piece is really farce ratn-
er than comedy. and does not amount 10
much from a literary and dramatic stand
point except that il offers one character
study-the kind that Mansfield used to
delight in and portray so wonderfully II
would be wholly unfair to Mr.. Mack TO
make comparisons with Mansfield Elm
mating the shadow Of that genius. and
using the ordinary run of actors for COM
parison It must be stated that Nr Mack
gave an excellent performance The part
IS full Of subtle possibilities which he may
not havesreaiized TO the utmost but he
played it on broad lines, which pleased the
audience.
blanche Douglas. in the leading female
role appeared frequently. but did not have
much real acting to do. She was not seen
to nearly such good advantage as during
the previous week.
Most Of the rest OF the cast would have
done much better if they had taken the
pains TO learn their lines. OF course it Is
a hard task to learn new play every
week. but Il can be done. and done well
as has been demonstrated 10 these many
years However. il can't be done without
work a s well as rehearsals and actors and
actresses who lack in diligence should re-
member that they cannot please the pub

their lines have 10 depend on repeating

The piece Will run until Wednesday
evening and then. If the public insists. Mr..
Mack and cOgpany viii return to The
Girl Of the Golden West" Otherwise they
viii stick TO Prince Kari the rest OF
the week.
It was announced from the stage that
the company viii go to the Lyceum the
atre next week for an extended stay. The
experiment Of having three theatres in the
city playing sO-Called first-class attrsc-
tons viii be watched with considera bic
interest. especially in view of the fact
that so many companies and theatres in
numerous places have been hitting the
rocks OF late It Is to be hoped that the
company viii do a profitable business
as the standard Of its performances is gen
orally good when one considers the prices
charged. and one may see really good
dramas at half the customary prices for
this class OF shows.

the heavy ice; we had our port quar-.

we were forced back each time to our

some hours we made another short

rounded Cape Rawson and passed
Cape Sheridan.

PUT UP FOR WINTER.
The season was further advanced
than in 1905; there was more snow
on the ground and the new ice inside
the foe bergs was much thicker.
The work of discharging the ship
was commenced at once and rushed
to completion. The supplies and
equipment we sledged across fee and
sea and deposited on shore. A house
and workshop were built of board,
covered with sails, and fitted with
stoves, and the ship was snug for win

bottom at low tide.

SALT LAKE SHIPPERS
MUST PAY FREIGHT
Competitors Have Advantage OF
Moro Than 100 Per Cent.

"a striking example of how Salt
Lake shippers must pay the freight is
shown In a freight bill for goods now
on the way" said the representative
of a prominent manufacturer today.
The bill is for carload of cotton
piece goods, including domestics, sheet
ings. etc, and the shipment is coming
by way OF water from New York to
Galveston and by A. T. & S. +. and d.
& R G. to Salt Lake. There are co.
S3G pounds in the car and the rate Is
S2.26 per cwt. OF a total bill of freight
for the shipment OF $l,357.66.
IF this same shipment had been con-
signed to manufacturers on the Paci-
fic coast, at either San Francisco.
Portland. Seattle, OF Los Angeles,
the rate would have been S1.l0 per
Cwt-, OF total freight charge OF s663.69.
and this, too for all-rail service. The
Salt Lake manufacturer. for all-rail
service on the Same shipment. would
have been compelled to pay In freight
charges the sum of $177393."

along the main business artery OF the
city but there were no particular fatal
