ADJUSTMENTS.

THE VARIETIES THEArER. The original YER
sion of "The Two Orphans" was performed
last night at this thester by the regular STOCK
com pany of the theater. We do not quite
agree with the management in its casting Oh
the play; the character Of the Chevaller De
Vaudry (Mordaunt) aud jacques Irochard
(Morton) should have, in our opinion, changed
hands. The effect of the entire cast would
have been better, and the actors done them
selves more justice; as 1t was, each OF them
did but fairly.
Mr.. Burroughs made very good Pierre;
the utter heIplessness and the misery OF the
poor cripple was very neatly delineaied by
this gentleman, and he cleverly avoided the
OVERRIDING of the part. MIR. Polk was excel
lent as Plcard-the self-assumed Importance
OF the valet, yet, witha, his devotion to his
master, was we'll illustrated.
The characters of Henrietta and Louise, the
two orphans, were entrusted to the capable
hands of Misses Ada Monk and Anna Bleak
ley, both Of whom were very happy in their
renditions The poor blind girl, compelled
to beg all day for mere crust OF bread and
receiving always harsh words and blows, was
very sympa hetcally acted by Miss Bleakley;
her church scene Fourth tableau) was spe-
cially we'll executed, and We were pleased to
find that the audience readily recognized her
merits.
AS Henriette Miss Monk won the highest
tokens of approval f,om her auditors, her act
ing throughout being consistent, careful and
pleasing; noticeably excellent was her acting
In the fifth tableau, and the hearty round of
applause given by the audience was well de-
served tribute We must not omit to men,
ton with special praise the Mother Frochard
of Mrs. Vaadereu. This was one of the very
best acted parts in the play; the cruelty and
heartlessness of the old bag was admirably
in erpreted. and the dressing and makeup"
Of the character was excellent.
The scenery has been already admired and
applauded, with justice, by the most discrim-
hating audiences, and we have here ofore ey-
pressed great pleasure with it. Suffice it to
say that the audience last evening welcomed
nearly every scene with burst of applause.
There Was an unusually large audience pres
ent a. the performance. The play is an
nounced to run until next Friday evening
1t is generally very well acted, and should be
seen by all.
ST. CHARLES THEATER Miss Kate Fisher
made her first appearance in Our city on last
Sunday evening, as Mazeppa in the play of
the same name. At both OF her performances
since her arrival she has drawn excellent
houses, and seems to give general satisfaction.
The horse Wonder, which aids the star ma
terally in the success of the play, is a beau
tiful animal, splendidly trained, and is great
" admired by the audience. The play is
familiar to most of our citizens, and they
will see it very cleverly performed at this
theater by Miss Fisher and the regular COM
pany.
The ACADEMY OF MUs1c-If enthusiastic
applause, aud the mcs- hearty evidences of
thorough appreciation, are testimony show
ing the intrinsic merits of a perform
ance, then certainly Mr.. s. G. France,
who appeared last night at the Academy
ia "Marked for Lite" has reason to
congratulate himself upon his most as
siduous effort to please and entertain. From
the first act to the last the large house pres
ent was kept either breathlessly silent In their
excitement to witness the success of his hair
breadth risks with danger, or uproariously
convulsed with laughter at his comical situa-
lions and humoristic side play.
"Marked for Life" is essentially one of the
school OF ultra sensationaiism, and throughout
one climax Of effect follows another until the
spectator is wrought up to such degree that
a small eruption OF Vesuvius would not aston
ish him.
The support was most happily sustained by
Misses Louie Lord, Jennie Clifford and En-
ma Palmer, as well rs George Ketchum and
j. H. Huntley.
