ADJUSTMENTS.
LyCEUM THEATRE.

Giacomettrs historical drama, Marie Anto-
net'e," was presented at this mouse last night to
crowded and iashionablc audience. The play
attempts to deal with the growth OF the French
Revolution, which was so much aided oy tire
popular detestatlon OF the Partisan populace for
the "Autrtchtenne," and, though its movement is
cumbrous 1t AFFORDS plenty OF scope for the
highest class OF acting, and lends Itself, at the
same time, TO effective stage display. Five
acts with prologue and epioguc, Is
rather formidable nights entertainment, but
the interest OF the story Is SO well maintained
throughout that the audience did not notice the
hours pass by. The stage settings are remarka-
bly, rich and the costumes give evidence OF careful
study. Although the CHIEF interest naturally
centers on the fate OF the queen the numer-
Gus subsidiary characters are SO important
IN many OF the incidents that the play
makes a large demand on the capabilities
OF a dramatic company. and 1t Is very
much to the credit OF Nine. Ristorl that she/has
gathered around her artists that give her effective
aways found IN even prominent American thea
tres. Mme. Ristors present ation oil the cha &C

quainted. There Is, perhaps, more OF the woman

woman she sketches truly regal. IL
Is dlnlcnlt to IMAGINE woman at once
and frivolous as the dialogue would present her.
The qualities OF mind which Nine. RistOri pictures
are those which deserve respect and seldom iail
10 command 1t. 1t Is, OF course, the fault Of the
historian and the dramatist rather than the
actress. The Marie Anuoinette o! NINE. Rlstori
resembles more the ideal parsonage created by
poets and novelists rather IMAM the flesh and
blood queen who ruled at Versailles. Nine. Rsturi
has invested the vain, ira. selfish woman who
brought her husband to the scaffolf ana did much
to provoke the violence OF Inc Partisan pOpu-
lace with all the strength ana grandeur OF her
own nature. In the scenes OF trial she displays
her admirable art in picturing the emotions OF the
human heart, and makes the soul OF the woman
he seen through the pride and resolution OF the
queen. AS an exhibition OF the genius of the
actress 1t Is not so telling as the LucreZa Borgla
because the attention OF the audience Is divided
between the great actress and the crowd OF less
important personages who Ill the scene without
aiding the main emotional interest. The play
