ADJUSTMENTS,

Sr. CHARLES THEA1EE.-A faithful and con
scientious actress is Miss Dolly Bidwell, fo
none other could have overcome the discour
aging effects of the rows of empty Seats sucl
| as there was at the st. Charles last night, and
| faithfully perform as she did, her whole duty
| There was evident none Of that hurry anG
! skipping such Us usually greets a small audi
ence, but the play was presented and acted, as
we have no doubt it would have been had there
been full house. Miss Bidwell is pleasing
and accomplished actress, aud certainly merits
more recognition at the hands OF our amuse.
ment seekers than she has yet received.
Tonight, East Lynne which has held the
boards for the past two evenings, will give
place to Lady Audley's Secret, with Miss
Bidwell as Lady Audley.
GLOBE THEATRE.-The second performance
in the engagement Of a week Of Browns Sen
sation Dramatic Company took place last
night and on the occasion was presented for
the second time in this city the new sensa-
tional drama, " Destiny"
There was fair audience, and the frequent
applause which echoed through the house
testified to the success of the play an the eff
forts Of the company.
Tonight Grip Van Wrinkle, or the Sleep
Of Twenty Years" will be presented, with MI
J. H. Huntley as Rip, supported by a strong
cast. 1t will be placed on the stage with new
scenery and mechanical effects, and cannot
fail to make hit.
The VARIETIES. -There was another gather
ing at the Varieties last evening of the elite
Of the city, to witness the admirable acting Of
the new troupe in thea" Victims" Rarely have
we passed a more agreeable evening before
the tootlig hts than We did under the side split
ting acting Of Mr.. John Owens, in Joshua
Butterfly. Perfectly natural and easy it could
hardly be called acting the part, but rather to
be Butterfly himself.
Mr.. Thorn, as Merryweather, was neat
and judicious rendition of the charac-
ter, and lacked everything like an attempt
at effect. Rowley, the India merchant, by
Mr.. Chippendale, deserves much praise. He
was as jovial and hale an old bachelor as the
piece demanded.
Miss Laura Don nightly improves. Her
style is remarkably easy and her movements
graceful In voice she is soft, yet distant
and in roles where the stronger passions are dis
played we should judge her to be effective. In
the rather infirm character of Mrs. Fitzherbert
Miss Ada Gilman fully satisfied her audit
ors. Her petite figure, sweet and expressive
face, and careful attention to the business
Of her part, makes her an attraction in her
self. The never-to-be-forgotten Scion Single
followed, with Mr.. Ovens in the title role. 1t
is difficult tor one to realize the sympathetic
old toy maker Caleb Plummer, in the person
who brings tears Of laughter to your eyes in
Scion Shinsle-the parts are 50 opposed to
one another Mr. Owens was even more than
usually happy last night. and carried his con-
vulsed audience with him. The other charac-
ers were all we'll sustained.
THE ACADEMY OF MusIc.-Baker and Far
.on's engagement has, SO far, proved COM
'lete succees. The play in which they are in
reduced amounts to ohing so far as plot is
but serves to afford them an OPP
'ortunity Of displaying their dialectic eccen-
rlcities. The audience was kept in laughter
throughout, and seemed to relish every facial
harge Of the leading characters, Chris and
lena. There are one or two little inadver- |
ences, we think, better omitted. The spit
ing out of bread towards the audience by |
1r. Baker is rather unseemly, and does not |
ender his amusing characterization any |
.rcnger.
The rest of the parts were well filled.
GAYErY THBATRR.-Last evening there were
/ any new and attractive features brought out
| this little temple OF mirth. The audience, !,
hich was large, entered into the spirit of the
vening's entertainment. and gave evidence of
leir approval by repeated en- cores. The bur-
sque presented were side-splitting, and
