ADJUSTMENTS,


NEW CHEsNUT STREET THEATRE.-This estab-
lishment was closed last evening, in order to
have another dress rehearsal of the great new
spectacle called CendriHon which will be ready
Tor public representation tonight positively.
The new scenic sensation has been gotten up
at a cost of nearly ten thousand dollars, under
the direction of Mr.. Lewis Baker, who has
determined to be present and direct each per-
iormance. Mr.. Baker produced hCerdTitton at
his own New York Theatre last season, and 1t
had an immense run, and was quite as popular
as the Black Crook for some weeks. The Cen
dTlhUn TO be produced at the Chestnut far exceeds
in elegance of scenery and cast of characters
the New York representation. Miss Josie Orton,
Miss Annie Wood, Miss julia DAILY, Mrs. E. N.
Thayer, Messrs Sol. Smith, Walter LennoX, and
Mr.. j. W. Jennings, and others, will render the
dramatic portions of the new fairy play, while
Mad'lle Theresa Wood, Lena Windell, and Annie
Konger, assisted by an immense corps de 6dttet,
will execute the terpsichorean scenas of the
new piece. Seats can be secured at any
time. CeadriHOn will no doubt be more beauti-
tul than any show piece ever presented to the
Philadelphia public. The scenery, as far as we
have seen it, certainly exceeds in marvellous
effects and singular beauty anything ever ex-
hibited in this country. The ballet, under Pro-
fessor a, Boldly, is in admirable condition,
thoroughly disciplined, and containing num-
Der OF favorite artistes as monitors.
ARCH STREET THEATRE. Young and old peo-
pie viii be pleased to learn that MIR. G. L. Fox
presents his new pantomime, called Little Boy
Blue, tonight. Mr.. Fox assumes the clowns
disguise and makes fun out Of everything. His
little brother "Charley" assists as "Pantaloon,"
and helps Jack, D. D.,n out of his many dis
tuTbing discom6tures Miss Louisa Browne
enacts the part of "Columbine,n and Master T.
Caligne is the gallant "Harlequin.n The final
scene OF Mr.. Fox's new pantomime exceeds in
brilliancy the last scene of Jack and Gu, which
was so much admired last winter. Little Boy
Blue is full of the most surprising tricks, which
will both astonish and delight all beholders.
Our young readers will be grati6ed to learn that
Mr.. FoX's new pantomime will be performed on
Saturday afternoon.
WALNUT STREET THEATRE.-Mr. Joseph Jeffer-
son made his rentree here last evening in his

pressly for the role of "Gretchen," poor Grips"
wife. Among our comedians Mr.. Jefferson
stands second to none; and his acting in Rlp
Van Wtnkte has been pronounced all over the
world as superior to anything presented on the

his great part.
