ADJUSTMENTS.


The charlottesville audience was
not a very large one at the Opera, on Sat
nrday evening, but Miss Matilda Heron
although laboring under severe bronchial
affection, gave us fine rendition of Cameo.
Her delineations were at times immense.
We shall miss her much, but hope the man
agement may not be long in bringing her
back with renewed health, energy and
tvigor.
The piece was well played throughout,
and we are especially pleased to compli
ment Miss A. F. Aleene, for the improved
manner in which she portrayed the strug
Cling impulses of the youthful Sitoia. Her
part was carefully studied and well spoken.
Tonight we are to have that eminent
actor and accomplished gentleman Mr.
G. w. Couldock, and his amiablc and tai
ented daughter, in 'SThe Willow Copse."
Luke Fielding as personated by Mr.. Coul-
dock, is a rare work of art. This gentle
man has so identified himself with the part
as to drive all others from an attempt to
even try it. He will prove good card for
the management aud will be gladly well
coined by the lovers of the Drama.
