ADJUSTMENTS.

ACADEMY OF MUSCLE was evident from
the presence of many of our most critical
dramatic connoisseurs at the Academy last
night that Mr.. Barry Sullivan's Rchelieu
would have to withstand the crucial test of
severe examination before they would award
to him the full need of praise as great actor
in tie part. Although there was no desire to
require too much, yetit was apparent that a
| very great deal was expected, and that too Of
| no ordinary quality. In Richelieu the play
goer has ever present in his mind that grand
climax Of the piece-the anathema-and to
that most turn in order to pass judgment upon
| the merits of the impersonation. Last night
| 1t was not alone in that that Mr.. Suillvan's
| ability and keenness of appreciation shown
out.
Differing materially from our other Richie
lieus, he introduces original business, making
| comparison with others difficult. The sup
port was not such as he should have, and this
perhaps in a measure hampered him. He,
however, at times rose to the frigid dignity Of
the Cardinal, and the audience then saw and
appreciated what he could be. His elocution is
| faultless, his action ease yet we can not COM
pare him to Booth or Davenport.
VARIETIES THEATRR.-There are few of what
| is called the French modern plays, where
| there is left upon the mind, after listening to
them: any strong moral impression, such as
would be likely to be remembered any length
of time. But the varied emotions excited in
| "Mons. Alphonse" are such that one cannot but
| help encoring the enjoyable denouement as q
| lesson worth the study: The lesson is q most
natural one in the society of to-day, and Du-
| mas has thrown it odt in brilliant high lights
Miss Sara Jewetts Raymonde was one Of that
lady's neatest bits of acting, and gave to as
newer insight into that lady's abilities
Miss May Nunez as Madame Guichard was
deserving of praise, for she evinced great care
in her enunciation and action. This lady
will, without doubt, rise in her profession
rapidly, for her culture and grace fit her
eminently for the STAGE
Mr.. Geo. De Vere's Capt. Montaglin was
received we'll, that gentleman coming out to
use vulgar expression, "strong" in the
part Full of expression and tenderness, his
lines were delivered artistically and with
power. Messrs. Ringold, Fawcett and Whit
ing gave to the piece q stronger light, and in
their parts served to bring out the strength Of
the central characters.
ST.. CHARLES THEArER Buffalo Bills Com
pany gave a repetition of Life on the Bor-
der" last night at the Old Drury, and fair
house greeted that exciting piece of powder,
Indian, and blood. As before it passed off
WE'LL and those who attended seemed pleased.
The GLOBE THEATER.-At this theater last
night there was a large attendance. The en-
tertainment offered by the Globe is one that
stakes with the general public, and this
fact accounts for the large audiences that
nightly witness the performance. There is Q
good programme for to- night
FAIR FOB ToURo INF1RMARY-This elegant
fprfQ Ua IaGt rin of
Grunewald Hall, and from the large attend
ance, we are justified in saying that it is
one of the most popular social gatherings
ever given in this elegant hall. We have
noticed each evening that gentleman and
ladies were permitted to 60 around the room
and patronize where they wished to do so,
without any importuning, and this fact no
doubt contributes largely to the popularity Of
the entertainment.
The tickets in the rattle of the piano are
selling very fast. This instrument is one OF
the finest we have ever seen, and will be a
splendid holiday present for the holder Of the
lucky ticket.
We would again call attention to the rattle
of the massive gold picture frame, the win
ming of which carries with it the privilege of
having ortrait, painted by that well known
artist, Mr.. Noise The whole being the do
nation Of Messrs. B. Il G. Moses.
The parlOr ornament which we previously
mentioned, miniature tablet on which the
ten commandments, in Hebrew, appear in
gilt letters, is donation from Messrs. Kur-
sheedt & Bienvenue, and will be rallied
Ladies should all take chances in the beau
tiful jewelry sets from Mr.. I. @. Lewis which
are being rafled at the tables of Mrs. Navra
and Mrs. Henry Beer.
The young folks seemed to enjoy the
dancing, and the music, which was spirited
and we'll selected, was furnished by the band
under the direction Of Mr.. B. Moses, who
will be we'll remembered as an excellent mu-
sician by the gallant men of the Fourth Lou
isiana belonging to Gen. Gibson's famous
brigade.
The fair will be continued tonight, and of
course, large attendance may be counted on.
