ADJUSTMENTS.
SCHOOL" AT MYEns' opEnA-noUBE,
The announcement Of benoas on Saturday
evening last, at Myers Opera-Houso, was tho
first intimatton TINT Miss Glover had entod hor
engagement with Mr. Hooloy. It waa q rathor
unusual proceeding to open seaaon with
hanoat, but probably A1r. Hirsohfcld know bost
about tint. "Tho Hunchback " was tho pieoo
chosen for the benefit, with Miss Glover in tho
role Of Julia. Tho performance was necessarily
wanting in many respects. owing to
tho hurried formation Of tho company,
and tho absence Of any rohoarsal. 1t
could not, therefore, DO regarded aa any index Of
tho capacity Of tho aotors WHO constitute tho
company. III ordor, however, to produce some-
thing TINT should DO at once within tho 8oope Of
tho company and acceptable to tho management,
Robortson's elegant society comedy, !" School,"
was prepared and put upon tho stago with
scenery aud properties far bottor thau~ could
have beon anticipated with 30 short notice.
"school" 10 thoroughly Robortsonlan. Thore
Ia vory little Of plot to it, but this is redeemed
By tho brilliancy of It's dialogue, tho charming
contrast Of characters, and tho piquancy of the
situations. There is no particular moral to bo
drawn from " "School, except that virtue la re-
wardod, and that there is no fool liko an old
fool. Nevertheless, ''School" Is enjoyable,
racy, and fresh, and when VOL nctcd is trout.
Like others OF Robostson's plays, 1t requires to
bc eTon1y acted. One "sticA" dotracss i'm
monsely from tito enjoyment, and when that
"atick" ia "stuck" for d loading part, It be-
comes exasporating, simply. There wcro last
