ADJUSTMENTS

| VARIETIES HEATER LOutlOu tAoct1iodSo
has always been tavorite comedy with tht
| playgoing people, and as put upon the boards
last night, it certainly deserved the reception
given it. Miss Jane Coombs, as Lady Ga.
| Spanker, was the central point of attraction
| for the audience, and was as viyacious ane
| lively as the requirements Of that difficult
| part demanded. Mr.. Theo. Hamilton was
very effective as Sir Harcourt Courtley, anc
gave Us additional evidence OF his artistic
| ability. Mr.. Harry Cotton, who has won sucE
| a warm reception here, was cast in the par
of Dazzle and merited the many expressions
Of appreciation heard al over the house
That Miss Coombs's engagement will be emf
nently successful seems now a certainty, for
the week 5 programme shows that only the
highest legitimate dra mas will be presented.
ACADEMY OF Music. - The long siege OF
spectacular, sensational and legitimate bust
ness was happily intensified last night by the
advent Of Raveriy's Minstrels al the Academy
of Music. After so lengthy period Of drama
in It's various phases, our theater-golng public
were well prepared for a season OF mirth.
Pure, unadulterated essence Of burnt cork is
always acceptable, aud its cachinnatory effect
upon the large audience present at the Acad-
envy eviDced their appreciation Of the excel
lent treat afforded them.
The programme could not have been more
happily devised. The trouble commenced
by an overture and chorus a la Otfenbach,
and was followed by a number OF songs both
sentimental and comic, the like of which We
have never heard surpassed. The conun-
drums and tie humorous narratives were ex-
ceptionably good and provoked hearty laugh
ter
After excellent banjo playing by Mr. Ned
French, Imaginable interude was given, and
Pr nrose and West, two very clever artists,
gave an inlmltable song and dance. Ailt. q.
Barlow as :. Old Black Joe, was very telling,
and was repeatedly encored. The entertain
ment concluded with a very funny Ethiopian
farce, entitled "JuStice III Black. The per-
Torrance throughout is certainly the best eX-
tant. We commend all those who want to
dust the cobwebs from their brain to see Hay
erly dusky fun makers.
ST. CHARLES THEArrE.-Last evening By
ROM beautiful play, The Lancashire Lass,
or Tempted, Tried and True" was presented
at the St Charles Theater, with Miss Katy
Mayhem as Ruth Kirby, and Ben DeBar as
the party by the name OF Johnson.
Miss Katy sustained the character Of Ruth
Kirby with that naturalness, grace and faith
fitness which has characterized all her i'm
OF Ben DeBar it is only necessary to say
that lie was the old-time Ben and that he |
tried himself, as one OF the boys in the |
parquette said
The support by the company was fair, and
I'll in all the play passed off in the most
gratifying manner.
The Lancashire Lass will be presented
again tonight and Ben DeBar Will again
appear. The announcement should fill the |
house.
TnE OPERA. We are requested to state that |
he illness OF Nile. Vercken has compelled the |
of the Opera-House to postpone |
he revival OF 'L'Atrcaine,' which was to |
nave been played tonight for the benefit of
hat meritorious artist, Mr. Dardignac His
benefit will be given in a few days. Of which
here will be due notice.
GAYETY THEATER. The performance at this
Temple of Mlrth last night was unex-
,eptionally good, the different actors seeming
o vie with each other in striving to please,
md that their efforts were successful was evil
fenced by the frequent applause which was
upon them by the large audience
present. Tonight a splendid bill will be
presented, and We would advise all who wish
o spend a pleasant evening to be on hand.
The CAN-CAN.-There was marked
Iimlnution IN the attendance at the Globe
Iheater last evening ID witness The coarse
nightly presented there The in
amOus character Of the entertainment de-
erred many WHO would appreciate the Ohio
rom being present, and when the sensual
an-can was presented, in comparison with
ther nights there was rather small house.
This exhibition has had its short day here
,he vulgar display on the part of women
Tbo apparently have become lost to al sense
f decency has lost its charm here and now
be days OF the can-can are numbered.
On the opening of the dance some dozen
f highly-panted and well fixed demoiselles
ONE to the front to cater to the diseased
ppetites of those who would jeopardize their
equation by being present. There is moth
lg attractive in the picture, and outside of
he indecent exhibition, nothing in the least
egree artistic IS shown. This has been
llowed to continue long enough. New Or
cans, no more than New York, Chicago or
cincinnati, can allow such an entertainment
} be presented publicly, and we now desire,
trough our columns, to call the attention of
Iayor Leeds to this sore.
Ii he has granted license to these people
} perform their Cyplian revels, he has
$50 the power to revoke it, and we call upon
i'm to be present and witness a performance
! person that he may Judge OF this moral {
lcer and, as Mayor and guardian of the
lorals of this city. abate it. The effects of |,
lis orgie have already been felt, and as
natter of the most vital importance to the
onth of our city it should be suppressed.
Ie patiently await his action.
