ADJUSTMENTS
"Honey Boy" Minstrels

The Honey Boy" minstrels, headed by iniinitable George Evans, played yesterday afternoon and last night at ciative audiences. George Evans is as funny as ever and was, as usual, the life of the show. He is unquestion- ably the foremost exponent of black face comedy in the minstrel field and his funmaking kept the house roar ing all the time he was on the stage. His monologue this season has been revised and revamped, with some of its best features retained In the last half of the performance he creates un- bounded mirth as the comical darkey who goes to a freman's picnic and there has a great many adventures, some of them almost bloodcurdling.
 James J. Corbett, who may be con- sidered one of the headline features of the company this year, presided briefly as interlt cltor and ga, Ills version of the battle at Reno. MT. Corbett made a very favorable impress sion with his talk and while most of his information" has already been Pl ihlSd III tiC hC oPoPSiS ~ Noo AAi teresting as delivered by a man wh o has an interesting personality and was an intimate witness of all that took place at the spot chosen for Jeffries' "immolation."
 The show did not have any particu- lar novelties, being similar in the main to that of last season and the sea- son before, but 1t was good throughout and was received with a great deal of enthusiasm. John King contributed generous share to the hilarity and Vaughn Comforts songs were enjoyed. Matt Keefe scored heavily with his singing. Sam Lee made a hit as the bad nigger" of the firemen's picnic and Charlie Hilliard portrayed high stepping wench with considerable sue cess.

"The Merry Widow"

The Shubert was packed last night-for the first time of the season, sad to say on the occasion of the return of that ever delightful triumph of musical and dra- maturgic art. "The Merry Widow" The presentation was fully up to the Savage standard of excellence, the principal roles being essayed for the most part by the same performers who appeared here last year. An orchestra of 12 gave support, which was wholly creditable, and lavish attention to detail marked the scenic ef- fleets and costumery.
 While trif1e too American to suit the part, Miss Mabel Wilber appeared to more than ordinary advantage in the role of Sonia, the Merry Widow. Miss Wilber was not in the best of voice last night, but it would be stretching point to say that any were disappointed. The grace fu and handsome Charles Meakins was seen again as Prince Danilo. His talent as a comedian and his skill as dancer carried him through with flying colors, and he and Miss Wiber were called upon to respond to no small number of en- cores. Miss Ida Scott as Natalie, R. E. Graham as Popoff, F. J. Mccarthy, liar old Blake, and, in fact, all the others did creditable and effective work.
 Such offerings as last nights presenta- tion of "The Merry Widow" will never grow tiresome.
