ADJUSTMENTS.
VARIETIES THEATRE.

1 stuart Robson must have been In his pleas
! ATTEST of pleasant moods last evening. His
| performance Of Dromio OF Syracuse was
| heightened by vein Of his own natural eomical-
| ity. which. without occasioniug real diver
gence from the ancient fun OF the part, sea-
soned 1t with genuine modern drollery. Now
that the season of the Robson and Crane com
binaton is drawing to close a growing feel
ing Of sincere regret overcomes US at the idea
OF the parting. which takes place on Sunday.
The occasion is too good one to be allowed to
pas without paying once more our com pli-
ments to Misses Kate Forsythe and Alicia Rob-
son for their successful exertions to please the
exacting but seldom enthusiastic audiences OF
the Varieties Theatre. Although, We might
reasonbly suppose these young ladies can have
had little experience In Shakespearean plays.
1t is evident that intelligence and native talent
have supplied deficiency In practice. II deficen-
ey there has been. Good training and careful

Academy Of Music.
Julius Caesar was performed for the third !
time at the Academy last night. Little more |
can be said about Mr.. McCulough's Brutus |
than We have already said He makes his hero
loso0her. quiet and calm. Perhaps, In the |
Tostrum scene. where Brutus addresses the
Roman .populace. just after the assassination Of
Caesar, there is too much calmness. Quietness |

Mr. Lane won rounds OF applause as Antony.
His speech over the body Of Caesar. the gem OF
works, was a marvellous piece OF oratory and
carried away not only his Roman but his New
Orleans audience. He demonstrated so forcibly
the rapid transitions from opposite passions
the covert sneer at Brutus. grief. anger and
passion that when pe act was over he was
him again before the curtain.

Regular Fix" that we have not seen here for
half dozen years.
