ADJUSTMENTS.
THE AIMEE COMPANY.

The great attraction this week, in theatrical
matters, will be beyond question the "relTe-
aentaiiona dadieAr" of Mile. Aimee and her
opera bouffe company, which has been i'm
proved by the accession Of Monsieur Mnlard,
tenor; Mr. Jou,rd. baritone; Mile Berthe
Mario and Mile. Adele Desires Mesdames
Duparc, Gueymard Gherzi, Duplessis, Van
damme Adrienne. and Messieurs. Dn-
PLAN Mezieres, Logros. Castel, Hayme,
Davals and others complete the. com
pany. The initial performance will con
sist Of "GiroHe-Gfrotla," probably the
most perfect, of oil opera bouffes, and
presented, in the following order: On Tues

offered to our public in u long time The re-
production of Barbe Bleue in this city for the
first time in at least five years, and La Belle

more good music than all the opera bouffes
put together, is certain to attract immense
audiences. While we await the gala week.
we must say that
GEMMA,

day nights, Is unworthy Of Louise Ponaroy
and the good company Of Mr.. John s. Ford,
and il is almost an insult to Theodore Bar
rere, the accomplished French playwright, to
say that it Is an adaptation Of any one of bis
plays. PigeOn-hole 1t, and the deeper the re-
cess into which it is thrust the better.
We understand that 1t is the object Of Mr..
Ford to bring
