ADJUSTMENTS.

The ST. CHARLES THEATER.-To real low
ers of the pure drama in our city, 1.-THE Mar
O. Airlie " is, perhaps, the sweetest and mos
touching on the stage, and certainly in Mr.
Barrett's repertoire. 1t is, as the programme
Justly calls it, beautiful idyl Of the Heather
Hills" 1t is full of sweet and tender pathos
which must touch the softer and purer
chords in human nature. and draw therefrom
a sweet symphony of sad yet beautiful strains,
whose echo can but leave refined and pleasant
memories when the play is over and the cur.
tain has fallen.
| The drama is a perfect poem, breathing Of
loving and trusting nature, shocked and
robbed of its reason by contact with the
worlds perfdy; its trust plighted, and its
| love buried, the worldsfades, and it lives but
among those pleasing memories which once
| were real truths to it. When its idols are
| shattered it has no care for the truths taught,
| and the reason which dawned but to bring
suffering, charitably fed to save the agony
| which must have followed.
Ii this be the poesy of the play it was learn
ed by the audience through the medium of
Mr.. Barretts mastery acting; the duty was
his to interpret the beauty of the play, and
right royalty did he accomplish his task. His
acting of the character of jamie Harebell was
perfect triumph last evening, and if aught
talent, this part must supply the required evil
dence. There was at times total lack of any
appearance of acting, and the silent thought
fitness of the audience after Gel tain scenes
was an eloquent tribute to the artists merits
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Barrett will
repeat this play during his visit, and if he
does, the theater should be packed by all who
admire acting for its own intrinsic worth and
power.
Tonight Mr. Barrett will take a benefit,
when he will present his great characteriZa-
ton of Hamlet, aided by an exceptionally
strong cast.
THE VARIETIES THEATER Both the attrac-
tons offered by the opera company yester-
day are generally recognized ss among the
best in their repertoire. This evening we are
to have for the first time by this company tire
charming opera of "La Perichole, doubtless
remembered by many of our citizens as IA
vorite opera when last produced here by the
Aimee troupe. The engagement of this
troupe is fast drawing to close and it would
be we'll for all those of our citizens who ad-
mire good singing added to excellent acting
to visit the company again before they
leave US.
On Monday evening we are to have the
pleasure of greeting Augustin Days Fifth
York dramatic sensation of ''The Big
Bonanza" This play has won the most en-
phatic praise from competent critics through
out the North and West. The company is
an unusually strong one, each actor having
already gained good reputation in the pro-
fession. Their repertoire is large one, COM
prlsipg all the elegant society comedies from
the able pen of its manager, added to others
of equal merit. Seats can now be secured for
the first week of their engagement.
The ACADEMY OF MUs1o-The excellent
minstrel troupe now performing at this theater
is still receiving fair share of the public
patronage, and deservedly so.
On next Monday evening We are to welcome
for the first time in this city the clever little
protean actress, Miss Minnie Palmer, in her
new play of "Silvia Thorne, or Little Silver.
We clip the following notice of the lady from
the Daily Register, of Mobile where she is
now performing:
Mss Minnie Palmer in "Lttle SIuer. -
Coming an entire stranger among us-and
coming too, without any advance red fire and
gong sounding-this little lady gives us the
sunniest and brightest glimpse Of nature we
have had for many day. Young, fresh,
piquante and remarkably pretty, she is sure
to win on our audiences; and she is sure, too,
10 VIII upon UcSt uhik VI tueul, Lut ldul6S,
to whose special good gfaces we commend
her. There is about her delicacy
and gentleness lacking in Lolita all
the grace and far more than the fresh
ness of Kate Putnam, to whose schoollshe
more nearly; but there is tho
roughly unstagy and res stlessly winning some
thing that must make her favorite at once.
Still young in her profession, Miss Palmer
reads Understandings and well; her
voice is clear, sweet and well managed in her
songs, and her stage business is easy and
natural. OF her pretty, childish archness
and her grace We need only advise one
sight, and they are sure to claim the second |
for themselves.
THE GLOBE THEArER. are pleased to
find that Manager Flynnes new venture is |
rapidly gaining in public estimation. The |
merit of the actors he engages and the enter |
tanning features Of the programme nightly |
presented there will, if kept up, assure sue
cess to the theater. The regular matinee will
be given on Saturday at noon, and the next
week will bring forward new and attractive
stars.
