ADJUSTMENTS.
Diplomacy Next week.


An exchange referring to the Warde &
Barrymore company, who will appear in
Diplomacy on Monday and Tuesday nights of
next week, at the Theater, says: "The
Warde d Barrymore com pInatlon will play to
full house. The company is wonderfully
strong one, and the play is we'll adapted to
its power. The trio scene at the end or the
second act was one seldom equaled in any
presentation, and the audience was very en-
thusiastic In showing its appreciation. The
principal actors IN each scene were recalled
at the end of each act and of the play When
Lester Wallack saw this play in Brooklyn he
sent his congr atulations on its many merits to
Messrs. Warde and Barrymore, and Barrett,
IN Chicago, expressed himself as never having
seen the presentation exceled. This evening
Diplomacy will be repeated"
The Danites at the TheateP.
Tomorrow night the M'Kee-Rankn dra-
matte company will open out at the Theater
in The Danites, and will present the play
during the remainder of the week, including
a matinee on Saturday. OF the play the St.
Louis Democrat says: There can be no ques-
ton but The Danites is play that will win
the encomlums and applause of every au-
dience before whom it is presented. The
situations and counterpoints are go well
wrought that even old play-goers, who, ac-
cordng to the worlds Judgment, ought to be
callous to the finer sentiments and dramatic
situations, slyly wiped their eye, pretending
that cough or cold was the cause of the ex-
hibitIon. The play is, perhaps, somewhat
crude as yet, but underlying the plot there
remains sufficient to make it the American
drama. We advise those who wish to enjoy
two hours before the footlights not to fail to
see The Danites.'
Memphis Theater.
Haverly's minstrels appeared before anoth-
er crowded house last night, every seat being
taken. The company comprises some forty
members and is made up OF exceptionally
good artists. The first division" of the pro-
gramme presents the entire troupe arranged
in amphitheatrical style, four rows deep,
with scenic surroundings of parlor beauty.
This part is made up of music and nonsense
after the conventional style. The music is
exceptionally good, both sola and choral,
and the tenors have voices which are very
pleasing. The interlocutory light talk is new,
many of the jokes and puns being fresh and
palatable, and marked features are the eight
loquacious lend men" In plaid suits-four
with bones and four with tambourines. There
was, perhaps, something too much of this
hrst part, but every song was encored, and
all the funny filings was heartily appreci-
ated. A feature of the second part" 50 TO
speak, was the mammoth song and dance"
IN which twelve experts simultaneously par
another was the society burlesque
entitled, IntmOIdti0n; or, Broken Voi0s; a
third was dozen clog dancers acting in con-
cert. Some logical" remarks by Billy Rice
were received with much laughter, while the |
yentrlloquial efforts of Mr.. Kennedy, the con-
of ''the California quartet and the |
musical funnyisms of Adams were much ap
preciated. The minstrels will appear at the |
matinee to-day and will close their engage
nent tonight, when a change of programme
will be presented. |
