exchanges says:
"The hit made last night by this adj
mirahle and well balanced company was
emphatic and instantaneous. Mr.. Joe
Mack IL n manager of experience and
roputc. but never before has he held In
hia hands material SO capable OF COM
pellng success. Not only as MINISTRIES,
hi, as burlesuue artists IA well. this
troupe stands without peer among the
many aeon in Mobile. In the minstrel
oneninr of their performance the Sc.
lrctions are truly good in n musical
sense: their operatic bits being sung
with excellent taste and by good voices.
Kelly's Surridge's and Clintop's ballads
were capitally rendered. the latter's
falsctto being true. clear and rarely
awect. The "Girone-G iroha" bit was
capitally given; and Testers "Hilde.'

Sr. CHARLES THEATRE. Owing TO the
weather the attendance was light ~
the st. Charles last night. MIR. Adams,
acting was fully equal TO his usual
standard. Regarding this talented COM
cdian.. we clip from one. OF our ex-
changes, with which we fully concur;
Edwin Adams. one OF the most tai.
entnd and l}6pular actors Of the present
dny. will appear Mt the Opera House this
evening. Oh which occasion will be given
the celebrated play Of 'Enoch Arden,
AIR. Adams appearing In the title role.

opd "a but few actors In the country. /,
TO those who have become disguised
w;tI the clap-trap Of thirdrate actors
In mere sensational plays, and are anx-
ious to lear again the language q the
legitimate drama, the appearance OF
MT Adams in the character of Eoch
Arden will be looked for with unusual
interest. The play has ,h been sln E,ven an n
tho great favor with which IL has been
received by a critical public, Is one OF
the best evidences Of MIR; Adams great
power and fine Discrimination as an
actor. for without these qualities he
must have failed whore he has
been eminently successful Mr..
Adams. as Enoch drden, Il pro-
nomnced faultless, and beyond criti-
cism.
GLOBE THEATRE The weather inter
fered with the Globe rs well as with the
other theatres last night: the audience
was comparatively light. but. the per-
Torrance was as good rs usual.
