ADJUSTMENTS.

appreciative audience attended the
theater last night to witness the Chap
man Sisters in the comic opera entitled
Don Giovanni. The opera was pre-
scented in most attractive and pleasing
manner by the three sisters, Blanche,
Ella and Belle, assisted by the Chap
man company of artistes. AS Don
Giovanni Blanche Chapman was at
home, and the audience testified their
appreciation by repeated expressions of
pleasure. Miss Ella Chapman became
a favorite at once as "Loprello, the
page" Her singing. banjo playing,
dancing and general style of business
are good. Possessing a petite but
charming figure and attractive manners,
Miss Ella becomes popular both in the
dress circle and galleries. The enter
tainment presented last evening opened
with farce entitled Little Gertrude,
and it was received most favorably.
The Chapman Sisters will draw well
in our city, and we look for
crowded houses during the week.
Tonight a new burlesque, entitled
Leo and Lotus, will be presented, with
the following cast: Leo" Blanche
Chapman; Lotus" Ella Chapman;
"Mulay," Belle Chapman. During the
progress of the opera a number of vocal
selections will be presented. The opera
will be preceded by farce entitled, The
Youth who Never saw Woman. At
the matinee to morrow Don Giovanni
will be the attraction.
BARRETT NEXT WEEK. = Lawrence
Barrett will appear IN number of lead
ing roles, Richelieu" included. Of Bar
rets Ricbelieu," the New York Home
Journal says:
His portrayal of the cunning, deceit
and craftiness, together with the noble
ness of heart and soul that made up the
great character of sae Cardinal Duke
Armand Richelieu-was characterized
by the requisite keenness, force and sub
Unity, and evidenced that the strong
subtleties of this master spirit has been
closely studied. 1t is in the closing
acts of the play thai we admire him
most, for then we have the most OF his
eloquence The power and sublimity OF
his delivery of the curse cannot soon be
forgotten, nor the exultation OF the old
Cardinal in the recovery Of the packet
and his complete triumph over his enc
mics.
MINsrRELsY. = The Greenlaw Opera
House was crowded last night by an en-
thusiastic audience. Duprez, 4 Bene-
diets minstrel troupe is one Of the best
that has ever appeared in our city. The
troupe came here last September, but
owing to the yellow fever no entertain
ment was given; the managers, however,
hunted up the printers and paid up bills
promptly. Duprez 4 Benedict's min
strels seam to improve every year, and
are more novel aud attractive at each
succeeding performance. We would state
that the entire entertainment is free
from anything calculated to offend the
feelings Of the most refined persons, and
that ladies' need have no hesitation in
attending. Many of our best ladies were
present last night, and enjoyed the oc-
casion with infinite delight. To might
there will be an entire change Of pro-
gramme, and as the house will be
crowded, those expecting to go should
Immediately secure reserved seats, which

sion, which is only fifty cents. Tomor-
