ADJUSTMENTS THIS WEEK.
Geneyieve Ward, Lawrence Barrett, Com
ique, and other Attractions.

This week will be marked by the pres
ence of two artists who have gained remarkable
prominence in the theatrical profession. First
| may be mentioned Miss Geneyieve Ward, who Will
appear at FOrd's Opera House tonight In hel
originalceation of Sepkdne, MaTQuise OF HOrirdrt,
in the great London play written by Herman Meri-
vale and +. C. Grove, entitled Forget Me- MOI.
Thisplay has caused considerable excitement onae-
count of thelegal contest which Miss Ward has had
concerning it with Mr.. Lester Wallack. Miss ward
succeeded in establishing her exclusive right to
produce the play, and wherever she has presented
it she has met with remarkable success. The TACT
that it was attempted at WallackS is a sufficient
Endorsement of its excellence, and the fact that
during the time it held the stage at that theatre it
was running TO oVerfiowing houses proves its pop
ularity with the public. The company which will
support Miss Ward has been very carefully Sc
lected by Colonel W. f. Sim, the veteran manager
and great pains has been taken to present the play
with all the proper scenic effects.
The second theatrical notable is

whose success has been the result of hard labor of
careful study, of attention to all the details
OF his profession. As result, Mr. Barrett has ac-
quired a reputation which is firm and substantial,
