ADJUSTMENTS

"SHE's going to make a hit In Salt
~ Lake. was the remark made by
one of tho audience which greeted the
first appearance OF Miss Edith Lyle as
leading woman OF the William j. Kelly
company at the Colonial last night. And
that good American slang just about ex-
presses it. Miss Lyle received a splen-
did reception in the title role Of ''Doro-
thy Vernon OF Haddon Hail. and 1t will
be Interesting to see her work in a more
modern play. such az will he offered to
Colonial patrons NEXT week. The Girl in
the Taxi
Mr.. Kelly, too, seemed TO be in a par
ticulariy versatile mood during the per-
Torrance last evening and his expros-
sions when the couple responded 10 the
many curtain calls seemed TO indicate
his pride in his new leading woman, Miss
Lyle and it is to be noted, by the way,
that she spells it plain Edith" and not
some such difficult couglomeration OF the
alphabet as "Edythe," is decidedly at
trnctive In both beauty and mannerisms.
Her personality appears distinctly in her
work and II "gets across" in way that
forecasts success.
The story OF Dorothy Vernon of Had
don Hall is familiar 10 most people.
The events OF Paul Kester's famous his
torical novel and the dramati1ation by
Edward Rose are laid in the time OF the
famous queens. Mary and Elizabeth. Both
OF them appear and take important parts
In the development OF the plot. 1t Is the
old story Of two sultors for one fair
maiden in one OF it's innumerable dresses.
Lady Dorothy Is a willful young woman
who has Ideas OF her own about whom
she will marry. despite her fathers pref
erence and insistence upon her cousin Sir
Malcolm Vernon. Tho rival, Sir John
Manners. is OF a house OF nobility with
which Sir George Vernon Is In gentle
manly conflict. Dorothy falls in love with
Sir John, thinking that ne Is Sir Malcolm
Vernon. whom her father wishes her to
marry Sir John confesses his identity
and then the battle royal between the
titled sultors begins. II leads from Had
don hall to the towers Of Rutland castle,
the ancestral home Of the Manners,
where Queen Mary is in hiding. Event
ually It leads back to Baddon hall, and
after "suuaring'' few differences with
the naughty Queen Elizabeth the young
there Is nothing to prevent their marriage.
Mr.. Kelly is up to his usual standard in
the part Of Sir John Manners, and that fs
saying enough to Colonial patrons who
are familiar with his ability. Besides the
star and his new partner, Miss Lyle, spe-
cial commentator Is due Arthur Morse
Moon IN the difficult part Of the faithful
''jester" J. Frank Burke is seen IN the
role OF Sir George Vernon. head of the
house OF Vernon. and father of the will
fuI Dorothy. His work won the approval
Of his auditors. Richard Vivian makes
good villain in the part OF Sir Malcolm
Vernon. the unsuccessful suitor. Miss
Marie Baker carried her part well as
Elizabeth Tudor. the historic ueen OF Eng
land, and the role OF Mary Stuart. queen
OF Scotland. is exceptionally well done
by Miss Fsnchon Everhsrt.
While the bill at the orpheum this
week does not dazzle one with the names
Of first magnitude stars. It IL neverthc-
less meritorious. There is an abundance
OF good music, dancing, comedy and aero
battles.
Dorothy Harris sang three songs. the
enthusiasm growing with each selection.
Her final number. ''On the Mississippi"

much vivacity, introducing an exquisite
ly funny ragtime walk. won her storms
of applause, She appeared In three
beautiful costumes. She was one OF tho
distinct hits Of the bill.
