ADJUSTMENTS.

AN OOGN6N
VARIETIES THEArEn. Notwithstanding tn
many efforts made to fully carry out the diff
cult part of Caleb Plummer in Dot" Their
has never been and brob IDLY never will b.
anyone equal to the full necessities of thi
part like Mr.. John Owens. Last night tn
Performance was largely attended, and Jl'
beauties of the piece we're duly appreciated
To-day, there will be grand ladies' matinee
when "Dot will be again presented.
| ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-A matinee will be
given at the Academy this noon, when thu
comical burlesque Of "Hamlet" will be pre-
sented, embracing every member of Mr.. Bid
wells dramatic company, together with the
largest and most talented company of specia
artists ever before presented to New Orleans
audience. Monday night was the initial
performance of the double organization
during the week. The theater has been com
fortably filed, and, we should judge, will
turn out profitable to the manager Tonight
and tomorrow Sunday "Hamlet" will be
presented for the last time.
Monday the great sensational drama Of
AFTER Dark" will be presented, with new
scenery, properties wardrobe ETC., introduc.
ing for the first time in this city the Persian
wonders, ''The vardis Children" seven years
old, and spoken of by the press of New York
to be the greatest wonder Of gymnastic art.

st. CHARLES THEArRE.-Last evening the
New Orleans favorite, Little Nell, made he1
appearance after severe attack of sickness,
but we must say her indisposition does not
seem to have made much change in her ap-
pearance, and she was full of that life and
| vivacity which has ever been her characteris-
tic. Tho play put upon the boards last eve
ming was the great sensational drama, So Fl
della, or the Fire Waif," in which Little Nell
personated several characters, introducing
many beautiful songs, dances and her artistic
execution upon the banjo. The audience
were perfectly enthused with the many ex-
citing scenes introduced during the play
in which Little Nell played SO conspicuous a
part. The rounds Of applause that greeted her
and the frequent encores of which she was
the recipient, must have been to her a COM
pensation indeed, for the effort she made
last evening to please her audience in every
way after so severe a spell Of illness. This
little artist not only possesses versatility OF
talent, but has considerable dramatic power,
which was most forcibly evinced during the
performance last night. Mr.. w. Nj. Ward, as
Gabriel Markham, acquitted himself adj
mirably, and We believe he will become q
favorite in New Orleans if he will 'look in
his boots before he puts them on" Mr.. P.
E. Sullivan's Jasper Wench was well rendered,
though his speech is rather forced; perhaps
this is done for effect, but we think that Mr..
Sullivan would make quite an improvement
were he to do away with his harsh articula-
ton. The Dave Bird Of Mr.. Harris, as the
pattern of foreman, was immense, and won
for him repeated and justly merited rounds
of applause. Mr.. Trainer, as Jake Woods, q
true Phoenix did we'll, while the Aunt Peggy
of Miss Andrews was all that could be ex-
pected. MIR. C. B. Hawkins's conception Of
Old Coles was admirable-in fact, each and
every performer surpassed himself, and
the evenings entertainment passed off in q
manner most creditable to all parties. To.
day is the last matinee of Little Nell, and
tonight she will bid farewell to New Orleans
for this season. She has our best wishes, and
we feel assured that she will ever be well
coined by the New Orleans public.
GAYsrY THRATRs.-This little place Of
amusement was again last night crowded to
completion, and every one present seemed to
enter into the spirit of the many excellent
pieces placed upon the boards, and for many
hours fun and enjoyment prevailed. Tonight
new specialties will be presented, and all who
wish to enjoy themselves should visit the
Gayety at the corner of Baronne and Common
streets.
A PHENoMENoN.-Ino our advertising column
will be found the announcement Of an exhi-
ton just opened this morning at No. IS Canal
street. The subject whereof is young lady
10 years old who weighs 42O pounds, and is
represented to be admirably well shaped,
albeit on somewhat gigantic scale. Any one
who can invest twenty-five cents can satisfy
his curiosity about this animated wonder.
