ADJUSTMENTS
"SeYen DaYs''

Mary Robert Rinehart and Avery Hop wood succeeded in writing. a highly di- verting farce comedy when they produced Seven Days,'' which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night The piece was seen here last year and its laugh-provoking qualities were such that it won instant favor.
 This season the company for the most part is capable and the fun is kept up through three acts by the predieament of various and sundry characters who are all auarantined in the same house for seven days Their efforts to escape and the shifts they are put to while trying to make the best of their im- pgisonment, furnish many laughs. In fact, there is so much comedy that it would afford ample material for two of the average musical comedies.
 Thomas Coffin Cooke as James Wilson, Edmund Pollock as Dallas Brown, Ray ruond Walburn as Tom Harbison, Jack Sheehan as Officer Flannigan, Harry Fowler as the burglar, MaquitaL Dwight as Bella Knowles, Ruby Hoffman as Anna Brown, Phyllis Bostwick as Kit McNair and Florence Mack as Aunt Selina had the principal comedy roles.

 The creation of the cardinals and the confirmation by His Holiness or the arch bishops and bishops already appointed by briefly followed. In all instances the procedure was the same. The name of each chosen for honor was read the Pope inquiring of the cardinals in turn whether they approved the nomination Assent was given by raising their red skull caps.
 The appointment of the additional car- dinal whose identity was not revealed, gave rise to all sorts of rumors, including one that Archbishop Ireland would receive a red hat. Official denial of this purpose and that any other American prelate in additiona to those proclaimed would be elevated, was authorized at the vatican.
 1t is supposed the unnamed cardinal is Monsignor Philpo Guistini, secretary of the Congregation of SacraInents. The name, however, will not be revealed until a later consistory at the option of the Pope, and it is possible this may not be until after the death of the reigning pom tiff.
 The confirmations completed, the mas- ter of ceremonies threw open the door and the noble and Swiss guards re-entered cardinals fingered a few moments and then, returning to the awaiting carriages, were driven to their residence or tenn porary stopping places where the usual receptions were held Mgr.

German Comment

Berlin, November 27.-Sir Edward Grey S speech was read with the deepest interest
 in Berlin in the newspaper extra. The tone of the papers indicate that they are neither pleased nor greatly disap- pointed It is admitted the speech was calm in an attempt to avoid irritating expressions. The Tageblatt sees in the utterances of the British foreign secre- tary that Great Britain arrogated to her self the function of a world judge in mo- bilizing her fleet to assist France, al- though no treaty required this.
 Great Britain. says the Tagebatt, must abendon that assumption before the two countries can live on footing of equal ,ty such as Sir Edward Grey hopes for.
 The Vcssche Zeitung draws attention with satisfaction to the fact that Sir Edward Grey rejects any policy provoca- tive to Germany.
 misses the broad discussion of Anglo German relations which it is little cal culated to improve.
 The Vorwaerts declares it was a thor oughly conciliatory speech, and will con tribute towards the bettering of relations.
 The Taeglische Rundschau says the speech will disappoint all who expected decisive turn bringing the two peoples nearer together. It points out that the British foreign secretary upholds to the fullest extent all the British utterances and measures which caused a reasonable bitterness on the part of Germany

At the Biiou

If the Bijou theater patron can excuse a poor representation of the hackneyed negro comedian and the travestcal trage- fected that he is almost amateurish, ''The Beauty and the Banker given there this week will afford a round of good laughs and the pleasure of hearing a very good voice from the trio called the Rambling Girls.
 The plot-rather the events which oc- cur between the vaudeville skits---is q se- ries of ridiculous situations arising from an impecunious young physician who, while left in the house of his uncle for the summer undertakes to rent out the spare rooms to raise money to meet his debts. Among his tenants is the Bowser family, father, mother and daughter FL sic, a vaudeville artist and her three Rambling Girls and an impoverished tragedian whose lack of engagements is most apparent in his appearance. Father ried gentlemen who would be a sport but securely kept under the jealous guard of Mother Bowser and a retired banker Of Kalamazoo, his chances have been very limited so when he discovers that in the very house with him is beautiful young actress, his skeezicks tendencies are aroused into action and he furnishes the comedy of the two acts with his efforts to escape the watchful eye of his wife. Meanwhile the young medical chan has fallen in love with Elsie, who recipro- cates and as usual q misunderstanding arises about the actress. It is finally strengthened out before the young lives have drifted far enough apart to make

 The Rambling Girls are the attraction of the play but one of them, classified as "Theo'' possesses a voice that would sur prise one after hearing the vocal efforts actress too, and almost as pretty as the beauty, who is a brunette of the buxom, winsome type. The man with the comedy ability is Mr Powell who as Father Bow ser, provokes screams of laughter and would look his part to the letter but for streaks of red crease paint beneath h,s chin Miss Aida Lawrence is the best of the feminine character parts and plays her role with a susto that is very gen. uine and suitable to her part. Miss Grace Witherell as the beauty" wears modsh costumes, with the exception of one oc- cason when the absence of one is very painful, and says her lines with a faint girlish voice. E. c. Rexford as the young physician, overdoses his acting as ne would his patients, but is a good Joking person when his face is reposed Miss Anne Henne as Elsie Bowser filled her part very well, and sam Gully as the negro comedian, needs more lessons in the dialect.
