ADJUSTMENTS

was performed Wednesday evening,
The music, the acting, the costuming,
and everything connected with the
performance, save, perhaps, the seen
cry, was all that the most fastidious
could desire. The Colyille troupe is
full Of talent and beauty. There arc
many anatomical a~rtistes full of agili-
ty, some excellent vocalists and other
attractive features. Had the manage
ment chosen to have given us one or
two other pieces during his stay the
chances are he would have realized
better returns. AS it is, however, he
is doubtless satisfied. The company,
after finishing Babes in the Woods
this afternoon, depart at four o'clock
for New Orleans, where a more varied
programme is promised.
