sculptor, and MISS Fanny Morant that Of Mademoi-

repeatedly rewarded with the hearty piaudits
OF their audience. The piece was exceedingly well
mounted and the cast OF Characters, with the excep
ton Of few Of the minor ones, was excellent. Mr..
Frank Lawlor, Voltage, the editor Of the Mage
Lantern, ami Mr.. Pil0n as Mr. veaudore, the rich
but brainiess Partisan, being particularly good 10
their several roles. Each or these gent ably
supported Mr. Adams and by their careful ana clever
actng contributed in no small degree to the smooth
ness anu success OF the piece. At the end OF the
fourth act Mr. Adams and Miss Morant were both
twice recalled before the curtain, and each time they
were made the recipients Of quite 1atterlng Ova-
ton at the hands or their enthusiastic admirers.
Bevond a doubt, ''The Adams Nights" at Booths
theatre are both feature and attraction.
