ADJUSTMENTS
At the Jefferson

Daddy Long-Legs proved a spright-
ly comedy when presented at the JEFF
ferson theatre yesterday. The appeal
of the comedy, with it's unusual and
sweet theme, was great, and the play
was happily presented by cast Of
players who proved admirable in every
part.
Frances Carson, a young, vivacious
woman with magnetism. interpreted
the role of Judy. She was so natural
and sincere in the part of the remark
able orphan that the romance was I'M

tomime with an Hawaiian setting, with
Pauline Thurston in the principal role,
is again being presented at the Lyric
theatre this week. Miss Thurston and
her company during their previous en-
gagement here, created something or
sensation and were booked for return
visit. The pantomime portrays the love
affair of a United States naval officer
and an Hawaiian princess. Miss Thurs
ton dances with the necessary fire and
abandon to convey to the spectator that
he Is getting a glimpse of the tropics.
The Victoria Four, a versatile quartet,
entertain with vocal selections sung Wen
and inject a great deal of comedy into
their performance. Another musical
number of exceptional worth is that Of
Violinksy, who Is an accomplished mu-
stefan and enlivens his act with several
burlesques. One of his best tricks is play
ing the violin and piano at the same time,
the violin bow being strapped to his rlght
leg. Helen Page and company please
with a comedy sketch EMIT. ed THE IN
derstudy," which combines touch OF
sentiment with a broad burlesque of Al
old fashioned melodrama. Miss Page
shows her cleverness and magnetism IN

appealing as an unsophistit ated country
girl ambitious to go on the stage She
is capably supported by Arthur Linden
and Albert Field.

vine who is so closely spied upon by the
inauisitive members Of his flock. AS a
novel, 1.-The Little Minister had an enor-
nous number of readers and as play
in the hands of Miss Adams 1t has had an
overlooking measure of success. To this
success many things contributed. The
sentiment of the work is appealing. there
is spontaneity to it's humor. quaintness
to its characters, truth in its REFLECTION of
humanity and in addition it has had
Maude Adams to give life to one OF the
most lovable and winsome heroines that
has come out of the imagination OF the
gifted Scotch dramatist. The four acts
OF the comedy are handsomely staged
and there is strong company in Miss
Adams support.
