ADJUSTMENTS
adam and Eva. !"

rhe title Adam and Eva" sounds as
| if the new play at the Belasco the
ater were a musical comedy: but 1t is
no such thing 1t is a little human
story of people who thought they were
rich, and were inconsiderate and eX-
travagant; who next thought they
were poor, and straightway became
kindly and Industrious, and who final
ly found that their loss of fortune
was only a hoax, and for aught to
the contrary, indicated by the closing
scene, lived happily ever after-all
but one, slightly exaggerated but
most likable Scotch nobleman, played
by Courtenay Foote. He abandons
his plans to marry riches. and when
his selected hetress seems penniless
manfully goes to work. He finds that
the girl, the Eva" of the title, does
not love him, and by his relinquish-
ment of claim the role takes on a
touch of great dignity in addition to
its wide range of comedy.
Adam" is played by Otto Kruger.
one of the best delineators of youth
and sentiment now appearing. he
plays the part of a man who COM
bines practice with idealisn, and who
works wonders when intrusted for
dWnltS W lLH the super NiSiNa ~ q
fretted fathers household. Eva is
the pretty daughter with whom he
falls in love. Ruth Shepley presents
the role with delicate piquancy, as
well as with substantial womanly
quality. Perhaps the most enjoyable
feature of the play is its character
delinea tion. Reginald Mason's por-
trayal of an elegant young wording
who becomes IL travelling salesman
of clothing. and who for advertising
purposes wears the kind Of clothes
he sells is delightfully."- droll, most
joy when he is least thing OF
beauty And Uncle Horace is we'll
worth knowing: refined hypochon-
driac and a household sponge. yet the
possessor of certain genial traits that
endear him, even before he bestirs
himself and revels in the vigorous
manhood that had so long been dor
mant. Much of the enjoyment of the
play rests on the terse speeches de-
liyered by Uncle Horace.
The part is enacted by Ferdinand
Gottschalk. whose playing through
many seasons has invariably dis
played extraordinary polish. Roberta
Arnold brings to a character not very
essentially related to the story a
personality that renders her role of
one of the tired business mans
daughters strikingly distinctive. The
| business man himself is played ad
mirabIy by Mr.. John Flood. Adelaide
Prince is charming representative
of mature elegance and the mer-
cenary suitor depicted by William
B. Mack was properly cold and CAL
culating of manner.
The play is in three acts, written
by Guy Bolton and George Middleton,
staged by Robert Milton and pre-
sented by F. Ray Comstock. The farm
setting is picturesque, with live
chickens in the background to give
realism to a homelike scene. A large
audience was in attendance last night
and the comedy was most heartily
enjoyed.

Dresser finally revolts, and a combi-
nation follows, with new and original
songs and clever dancing. Both were
in good voice last night, and their
act went over with a punch that won
many curtain calls.
The hold of the Morton family on
vaudeville patrons Is remarkable.
They have been coming to Keith's for
many seasons, always presenting
something new in the way of jokes.
The elder Morton is one Of the best
Irish comedians in vaudeville, and
their act was greeted last night with
almost continuous laughter. Clara
