ADJUSTMENTS.

The amusement season has opened IN st,
Paul with most encouraging prospects,
good audiences creating all the attractions.
The Opera house was only occupied Friday
and Saturday evenings and Saturday matt
nee, Sol. Smith Russell and his fine COM
pany being the card.
Last evening closed the season of Sol.
Smith Russell in Minnesota and ST. Paul.
He has passed three weeks within the
state and coming among us stranger has
reason to be proud of his success. His
performance last evening was th0D seventh
before a st. Paul audience, and he
carried favor until the close,
While without kim "Edgewood Folks
would be rather a. tame affair, with him it
is the means of a most entertaining even
ing.
As a comedian he gives great promise,
and as to PRESERVATION, his capabilities
seem perfectly marvellous. In his several
comic characters he is natural to the life,
and provokes mirth in spite of ones self.
There can be said OF 'Edgewood
Folks as a play that there is a very
sensible lack of that low profanity which
renders some of our modern stage pieces
almost intolerable to we'll bred people, and
deserves great deal of credit on that ac-
count.
The party open at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
on Wednesday night, and the citizens OF
st. Paul will wish them all success.

scented an attractive bill and was well pat
ronized. This week the Opera house

| Oudardc.
Speaking of the recep ton of ''Oudarde
in Milwaukee Thursday evening last, thu
Republican-Sentinels says:
"A moderately large and exceedingl,
we'll disposed audience assembled last even
ing on the occasion of the first perform
ance of .'Oudarde"-a new and pORerfu
drama, translated and adapted from TIN
German of Paul Lindau by Charles Has
win. The subject is one with which Amer
can audiences have recently become famil
lar through the adaptation of French play
for the English stage-the violation of tn
marriage vow by the wife. The perform
ance last evening was generally worthy o
the drama Miss Stephaney played tn
role of Oudarde with intelligence and a
times with real dramatic intensity and fire
especially in the closing scenes, where sh
finds herself unmasked. The Alice of Mis-
Gillette was fine impersonation of perse
cuted virtue, and the Melaine of Miss Red
field presented a remarkable side of tn
dramatic picture of crime and hOrrer:
Mr.. Mainhall as Rene was not at his cas-
in the drawing -room,a and his acting SCENE
/ stiff and constrained, as though he had nc
yet succeeded in removing his individual
ty from last seasons scenes. Mr.. Haswl
as Count Bernard gave digniied and in
posing impersonation of the injured hu:
band and sorrowing friend. Mr.. Lloyd
Rileaux was remarkably fine villain-nC
the coarse ruffian of the melo-drama, bJ
the refined reprobate of the salon. NJ
, Pixies Lorenz was one of the best perform
: ances of the evening. The scenery an
stage effects were remarkably fine, and til
audience evidently appreciated the effor
of the actors in the drama, and indulge
in several enthusiastic recalls. The for
features, too. were impressive. ''Oudarde
will be repeated this evening, and, also, o
1 tomorrow afternoon and evening.
