ADJUSTMENTS.
Ford,s onera House-The Sea Of Ice.

Ford's Opera House-The Sea Of Ice.
The spectacular play Of the "Sea of Ice" pro-
dueed last night at Ford's, recalled memories OF
Laura Keene, its accomplished author, and OF her
beautiful style Of assuming the role Of Ogarita
1t is q standard play, and of course attracted an
excellent patronage. Mr.. Mines Levick sus-
tanned with fine effect the characters OF Carlos
and the Marquis Del Monte, but, as an actor, he
is so Infinitely superior TO all the demands made
OF him in this play that he seemed little out Of
q favorable impression, and preserved the ro-
m0noo surrounding tho character with great ad-
vantage to herself In the third act in the scene
of recognition and recollection of the touching
prayer, she is too swirl, and the expression ofJoy
which follows is quite too tame, but, as whole.
her assumption, difhcult one, was handsomely
finished performance. 1t is all we'll enough TO
have Sea Of Ice" in the theatre; In fact It
is what the people e there to witness, but sea
many patrons Of the Opera house, and all Who
attend viii be pleased with the entertainment.
National Theatre-Dead Alive.
The play Of dead Alive hardly succeeded in
packing the National theatre last night, but in
many respects it is a good play. The first act is
strong in language and melo-dramstic effects.
Mr.. ForsberR, ably assisted by Mr.. W. 7. Flem-
ing, makes the most out of 1t. In whatever situa-
tion Mr.. FOrsberg is placed he does we'll. His
opportunities during the season to display his
fine dramatic ability have been few, but these
have proved quite sufficient to justify the praises
of the public. To-night the play will be repeated.
Miss May Gallagher, as Sarah, the FloWer Girl,
was very happy in her songs and Dances and she
delivered her lines with sparkling grace. Miss
Jennie Anderson is in the cast, and Mr.. WIN. NJ.
Paul, as a member OF the press, was natural, for
he has some practical knowledge Of the profession.
Camilla Urso Troupe.
The programme for the Camilla Urso concert
embraces some very rare gems both Of song and
in the instrumental line. The trio May Better
Words Record thy Merits" by Beethoven, rem
dered by Miss Doria and Messrs. Fessenden and
RudOlphsGn, is one Of the finest that has ever
Madame UTsO's violin playing is excelled by
noue and those who have heard 1.-THE Witches
Dance" from her instrument pronounce 1t per-
fectly thrilling.
Howard Paul.
Mr.. Howard Paul, whose performances were so
popular in England, will appear in Washington in
conjunction with the Soldene opera troupe. He
will play in q comic scene entitled LOCKED Out {"
which is whimsically illustrative Of what may
occur after dark in great metropolis: MIR.
Howard Paul will appear on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday evenings.
Emily soldene.
Reserved seats for the Soldene season of Eng
Iish opera boufe can be secured at Metzerott's.
Wednesday evening, Madame L. Archiduc. The
indications are that the National theatre will be
crowded by this famous troupe.
The Theatre Comique.
The Theatre Comique last night was literally
damned. "The Black Hand" seemed immensely
takiRg, and with every exciting tableRu the ap-
plause was something terrific. The play will at
tract throughout the week.

we'll nown as Robert Heller, Anderson, or Her.
