ADJUSTMENTS.

VARIETIES THEATER of all Mr.. John Nc
Cullough's plays there is none IN which ne
has gained so great or so we'll deserved
a reputation as in the great drama OF
"Ths Gladiator" The role of Spastacus
is a grand one of that heroic character
which is so we'll interpreted by Mr.. McCul-
Tough, and in which he undoubtedly Is With
out peer.
When Dr. Bird wrote this play for Mr.. For
rest he achieved remarkable success, Whlcn
the talent and genius of the great actor per-
petuated. and the custody of which has been
wisely entrusted to the hands of Mr.. McCul-
lough. The love of the devoted father and
husband the agony of the enslaved freeman,
and the thirst tor vengeance OF the wronged
hero are all wildly and grandly portray ed
by this sterling actor.
From the opening scene until the fall OF
the curtain, Mr.. Mccullough commands the
wrapt attention of his auditors, which he re-
paws by q delineation demanding alike their
respect and their applause. 1t Is IN this
character and in Nirgnus that he presents
his undoubted credentials to greatness, ana
the universal recognition of them bespeak
the public verdict OF his high claim to emil
nence in the dramatic profession. The sup
port given him by Nessrs. Mordaunt and
Morton and Miss Monk was very excellent.
1.-THE Gladiator" will be repeated this
evening
ST. CHARLES THEATER. new play OF
"Musette," written Tor Lolita by Mr. Fred
Marsden, was performed at this theater last
evening for the first time in New Orleans.
There was very large audience present, and
the frequent applause rendered the little
lady and her excellent support evidenced
the great pleasure experienced. The
play is very credltabe one, and Is tree
from those improbabiiities that characterize
the generality of modern dramatic produc-
tons it enables the company to put forward
their strongest cast, and we but pay them a
merited compliment, when we acknowledge
the general excellence of their readltons.
In the title role Lolita is charming; she cap
tivates her audience at the very opening OF
the play and remains in accord with them
throughout the play
That really admirable actor, Mr. Couldock,
in the character of Adalanta, gives US per-
torrance which is deserving Of the highest
commentator and notwithstanding that his
great abilities have already won for him
great reputation, we take pleasure IN record
ing every success. Mr.. E. A. Locke as
Jules Timothy Filters, and Mr.. Butler as
William A. Boxers, were both admirable, and
deserved the applause rendered them by their
auditors.
"Musette " will be repeated until further
notice.
The ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-The spectacular
drama OF the lice Witch was again put
upon the boards last night to good house
As before, the piece went off most charmingly,
and the iairy-like mise en- scene was as delight
full, and it was even yet novel. Ga Wednes-
day, owing to the eminent success OF the
Christmas matinee, MIR. Bldwell has deter
mined to give another, and on Wednesday
noon an elegant set of bracelets will be given
the holder OF the lucky ticket.
