ADJUSTMENTS

! The High School Senior Glass had it:
dress rehearsal of the play to be giver
tonight at the Opera House, with al
fxings except makeup last night. The
pay is an unpretentious but very clever
/ little farce about GA Modern Ana
Mas" and is thoroughly well rehearsed
| and staged.
The youngsters have all taken to
| their parts like ducks to the water and
the lines are SO well studied that the
prompter had a sinecure last night.
| Professor Blanchard take the brunt
of the business in the part of an
American colonel who sends his son to
! be educated in England The son
meets a widow with daughter, mar
ries her and then there is trouble. Of
course, there is the usual ward and the
| final fixing up of everything to the
satisfaction OF everybody, especially
the audience.
AS amateurs there is no doubt that
the Mckinley fellows, not to mention
the charming girls, have real talent
for putting on shows. We do not ex-
peet TO go and watch finished pro-
duetion la Penley, but everybody
who goes to the Opera House tonight
will be astonished to see just how well
the youngsters have gotten the show
up and how well they bring out the
points of their lines.
Daniel King plays the son who goes
to England and he is quite good. A
certain natural awkwardness, while in
down stage position, is more than made
up for by the verve and lve1iness with
which he rips out his lines when the
"Baby" appears. The latter is played
by Ted Tracy and he does stage faint
that is pippin, although Mr.. Blan-
chard says that his arms are growing
sore with the practise of it.
Daisy Colburn as the ward is going
to be very good. She sings out her
call-lines splendidly and so unaffectedly
that one would think it was an old
time actress doing it. Edith Smith is
another pretty little actress who is par
ticularly charming as Daisy Colburn IS
friend. While Marcus Monsarrat has
an English accent and an eye glass that
would shame the Piccadilly Pet.
Eight Boys With Pollards.
1t will be matter of surprise to
many people who have seen the Lilli-
putians 30 know that they have only
eight boys among their number. All
these boys, however, are exceptionally
clever, and take the strong male parts, |
while the girls fill in the boys parts
with an adaptability that is often COM
mented upon by those who have watch |
ed their work closely.
All the boys are athletes. Frank |
Cherry is the champion swimmer, he |
having defeated the boy champion of |
Honolulu last year. This young swim |
mer has established a record of thir
teen seconds for twenty-five yards, a |
really remarkable performance for a |
boy of fourteen years. The other boys |
are Teddie Mcnamara, John and Fred |
die Heinz, Leslie and Charlie Donaghey, |
Willie Howard, and Tony Ford.
Tickets are selling at the Bergstrom
Music Co. at 25c, soc and 75c. The |
operas that were seen here before viii |
be given new and pleasing setting by
the addition of many new song hits,
specialties and dances.

films are holding the boards for the
present.
