REVIEW OF ADJUSTMENTS.
THE DRAMA.
The past week has not differed materiall
from former ones of the summer season 80 fa
as the drama is concerned. Tho theatres ha7
all done fair business wkero anything Was 90
ing on. Tho weather has been consumingly ho
and oppressive, but the attractions have been o
somewhat higher order. Every place O
amusement Claims to be tho coolest theatre il
the city" and, If all the others we're trift
warmer, possibly would be. McVicker's, Hoo
ley's, and Aiken's are all alike in this respect
Being entirely new structures, with all moder1
improvements in cooling and yeutilating appar
atus and nrrangements, they arc probably
among the coolest places Of amusement in The
country. With the mercury at 95 degrees in the
shade. and no breeze at all it cannot be expected
that theatre can be as cold as 8 refrigerator
but such evenings are exceptional. Wagner'e
h1lnstrels, at ki1on'5, closed their business On
| Wednesday, but this Was not owing to the heat
| Of the amphitheatre.
| HouLEY'B THEATRE.
We have already noticed the production Of
"Caste at Hooley's, and spoke Of the piece as
presented On tho opening night. With the
elaborate preparations, spleadid scenic
appointments, and excellent acting, it
could not but bo the hit Of the
season, and tho crowded houses that have
| alternately resounded with merriment at the
grotesque picture Of tho drunken Eccles, and
been huehed into silent sympathy with the dis
| treas OF Esther, to applaud the love-making Of
Sam and Polly, attest hotter than any newspaper
notice could do the appreciation by the pub

It is the intention of the management to retain
"Caate" for one week longer, and those who
havo not seen it will miss treat il they lose the
present opportunity. change has been made
in the cast by giving to ,fr. Baisdon the part Of
Capt. Hdzctree, and George Ddlroy to Mr., Nor
ria. This change cannGs but improve the piece,
which will then DO une1ceptionable. It will,
without doubt be ono OF the smootheBt, most
evon,u and delightful pieces ever played
in Chicago. Tho credit for the beauty
Of the drawinz-room scene belongs to Mr.
Padget, who has displayed artistic taste in 3
rare degree. On Monday next Mr.. Bliss Whit
aker, ticket agent. and George Miller. advertis-
gentlemen have identified themselves with
Hooley's and arc such popular favorites that
they will surely be well remembered.
MyCKEn's THEATRE.
During the past week Miss Katie Putnam has
been playing to better business than during tho
week preceding, and the vivacious little lady
feels more encouragement than before. During
the first part of the week "Capitola," =" which had
been underlined, was played, and withdrawn on
Wednesday, when "!rhe Unequal Match" one Of
On Friday Miss Putnam had benefit, which Was
fairly successful. "The Daughter OF the Regi-
ment," not tho opera, was given, with Miss Put
nam as Josephine, with songs and new and
cluded with "sa.anelln." Tbs programme Tor
the present week promises variety. On Mon

more persons at one time than many moro pre-
tentious houses. It is situated at convenient
proximity to tho West Side Bowery,; and the
class Of entertainments has been admirably
adapted to the taste OF the neighborhood.
