ADJUSTMENTS
GRAND oPERA-HousE.

dhAND OfEhA-HOUhE.
The second week of the Colville Company
opened even more encouragingly than the
previous one. The receipts of last night
were 5000 more than on the opening night
of the first week. The bill was "Robinson
Crusoe." The piece has been much changed
since we last saw it. and all the alterations
are in the nature Of Improvements. The
music has been nicely touched up, and is
improved by the addition of o number of
gems from familiar light operas. Miss Ro-
seau sung an answer to Baby Mine" Miss
Kate Eversleigh as Robinson Crusoe" was
a great improvement on Marie Williams,
as she sings much better, and
the audience is relieved from those
inimitable attitudes of Marie Williams,
which are very funny when first seen, but
become unbearably tiresome after being
witnessed the fiftieth time in the same act.
Miss Eversleigh is moreover, much pretticr
than Marie Williams, and, altogether, the
change is decided improvement Mr..
Graham made very funny "Will Atkins"
and Mr.. Roland Reed as "Jm Cox" was i'm
mense. With both the pieces and the COM
i pany improved Robinson Crusoe" can not
help being an attractive entertainment.
Same bill tonight and Saturday matinee.
Wednesday matinee the Magic Slipper"
with only Is cents admission to all parts of
the house.
sALsBURY's TRoUBADoURs AT Pixies.
Last night at Pixies Opera-house SAILS.
bury's Troubadours opened an engagement
in the very amusing musical extravaganza
1.-THE Brook" In name the piece is the
same as when presented for the first time
five years ago, but in nothing else is the old
play recognizable. 1t has been trimmed
and improved and revamped and made fun
nier and better till nothing of the original
Brook" except the name and the turtle
remain. As seen last night the entertain
ment is one of the most humorous and at
tractive we have ever seen. 1t is, more
over free from the slightest taint of broad
ness" The piece is made up of the sayings
and pranks of a company of ladies and gem
tlemen at a picnic by the brook Being all
members of the theatrical profession they
amuse themselves with sayings, recitatious
and innocent fun-making The only way
to learn how much can be made of such an
opportunity is to 70 and see "The Brook"
Same bill tonight and Wednesday night
and Wednesday matinee.
BUFFALO BILL AT HEucK's.
The Buffalo Bill Combination, headed by
the great scout, opened at Heuck's Opera
house last night to an audience filling
every part of the house. The play was
MAY Cody" 1t is border drama. full of
thrilling incidents and hair-breadth es-
capes. OF the sensational kind there is none
better. The company is headed by Hon.
w. f. Cody-Buffalo Bill--who is q good
actor and has fine company. The play is
well mounted and was most enthusiastically
received by the large audience. 1t will
be repeated tonight, preceded by the farce.

deon Hall had fair audience last night

Esher's New Palace has fine programme

The new faces are Fred Shaw, the sensa-
tional comic vocalist; Ida Morton, in fancy
dances; Walter Phoenix, motto singer, and
Billy West, dancer and comedian; all of
them artists, who were we'll received by the
audience of last evening. These do not em-
brace all the attractions, and the only way is
to 20 and see for yourselves and you will be
astonished at how much is given for the
money.
vINE-sTREET OPERA-HoUsE.
1t Is hardly worth while to remark that
last night was a repetition of the same old
story-crowded in every part of the house.
The managers somehow always exactly
please the audience. and they not only
ALWAYS havea crowd but always send every
one home enthusiastic in praise of the
show. Jennie Engle was greeted with i'm
mense applause and sung her serio-comic
songs under inspiration of the warmest
kind of reception. Mullen and Magee in
their original act, 1.-THE Men of Nerve" are
huge. Magee as Rafferty,, the bruiser."
by his burlesque handling of the gloves,

is needless to speak of the old favorites, for
they are really favorites.
