ADJUSTMENTS.

1.-The other Woman" announced for
the Grand Friday, is not a problem
play, socaIIed, as its title would indi-
cate at first reading. It deals with a
problem, nevertheless-the problem of
a mans love for a woman who is not
his wife. But the play Itself is the
development of a love story, with "the
other woman" as the principal figure.
In the leading role Miss Blanche
Walsh is duplicating her success of
previous seasons, which means wher-
ever she is appearing, the play is one
of the chief attractions that will visit
any city this year.

for his two sons. After they leave col

| creased so rapidly in the last few
months that in connection with like
| growth of the other classes, the Cen

decided upon. The men will start in
