ADJUSTMENTS.

One of the little things about the
production of 1.-The Round Up" which
begins a three days engagement at
the Grand tonight, but one which
shows how carefully all the intimate
details have been thought out. is
shown in the battle scene. 1t is to be
noticed that every time there is shot
there is a stream of descending sand
where the shot hit the rock and crum-
bled a part of it away. These do not
come from one place like bulls eye
of a target, but here, there and every
where, all over the cliffs. showing the
range of the rifles. 1t must require
a big force of stage hands behind the
scenes Just to look out for these little
streams of sand, which many a stage
manager might consider superfluous
which, in reality. add greatly to the
vividness of the battle scene.
It is gratifying to note, in this day
of theatrical progress, that public
taste is constantly improving, and peo-
Die of Judgment will not be attracted
to the theater by the announcement
of a musical play, unless there is the
prospect of something more than pref
ty women, expensive costumes and a
more or less humorous hbretto. There
must be musical numbers of some val
ue and these are what are promised
in the new comic opera entitled
Naughty Marietta" which comes to
the Grand on next THURSDAY night.
"Checlzers' is positively announced
as the attraction at the Grand next
Friday with the complete New York
company. For the past three years
this play has been touring the east,
where its popularity has been SO great
as to prevent its getting farther west
than Kansas City. 1t is characterized
as a play we'll calculated to please all
classes OF people 1t is a tale of love
and luck. keen, witty, thrilling in the
great race track scene; clean and con-
Vincing.
