ADJUSTMENTS
1.-The Klas BURGLAR"

. Dainty and clever was the musical
comedy attraction ''The Kiss Burglar
which was presentedeto a large audience
Monday evening at the Augusta Opera
house and proved to be one Of the most
enjoyable plays seen in this city during
the past year. It was enjoyed because
there was not 4 dull moment through
out, because of the admirable cast and
the pretty musical numbers, and also
because Of the charm and personality
of Patricia O'HeArn, who won the Ad.
miration Of every person in the audi
ence.
The play was very prettily staged, the
color schemes Of the scenery and cos
tunes being artistic and pleasing. The
many musical numbers on the program
were rendered in an excellent manner
and were very catchy. among them b.
ins wonderful YOU" Some Day."
THE Mantle Piece Tragedy" THE Girl
Can't Forget and The Rose" the
latter being a novel number consisting
OF four songs based on that subject. II
the respective styles Of Victor Herbert
John Philip Sousa, John NJ. Cohen and
Irving Berlin.
But when all 10 said about the musical
attraction it must be admitted that to
Patricia O'Hearn belongs much credit
for its charm. Her ability was not
alone for singing and dancing, but she
could act. and that feature was espe-
cially noticeable in the musical number
The Mantle Piece Tragedy" which did
not require the assistance OF chorus
to make it a winner.
Comedy was introduced into the at.
traction by Johnny Dale. who was in
a class by himself when it came to &c.
centric dancing, and by David Andrada.
who was the villa a" much againat
his will and better judgment. The lead.
ing Enan. Henry Coote. rendered several
songs which won much applause.
The attraction 10 deserving Of much
praise because 1t was entirely without
suggestion and vulgarity and was fun
Of life and action which held the close
attention Of all.
