ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE-"zozo, H MAGIC QUEEN,
A big audience. filling every floor, greeted
George Il. Adams and his supporting company
in the spectacular play, s'Zozo,' at the Grand
last night. 1t is not saying too much to say that
all were well pleased, as was attested by frequent
and hearty applause. Adams, who is so we'll
known AS a clown and p~antomimist, is quite as
great a success in a. speaking part. and kept the
audience in continuous laughter. Miss Cherie, as
the Queen, is of fine stage presence, and carried
her part very gracefully and effectively. Miss
Hanlon sang sweetly, and Miss Florence j. Bind
ley rendered beautiful music on various instru-
ments. The entertainment depends very large
ly on scenic effects, and in this it is particularly
fine, the several scenes being richly set, while
the transformation scene at the close is as beau
tiful as ever put on a stage in this city. There
is nothing Objectionable in '.Zozo" from begin
ming to end, and much that will very greatly
amuse. 1t will continue through the week, at
usual prices, and will doubtless be well patron
lied.
THE MUSEUM.
At the Museum the week opened with a fine
matinee audience, and the crowd last night test
ed the capacity of the house. The attraction
was George Morton and an excellent company in
"gis SIM" a new melodrama, and a play that
created much enthusiasm and applause. The
drama is made of new material, is treated in an
original manner, and, with a little iudiclous
trimming, will be a play of decided
strength and should become q very popu-
lar production. Though somewhat sensational
the situations are natural. the climaxes good,
and the scenic effects very effective and web
handled. The wreck scene is especially strong.
Of Mr.. Morton not much need be said. He is
known to be a talented young actor, and always
does anything he undertakes well. In the lead
ING character of this niece ha diSD1ayg dr0 m atic
force and ability. Messrs. Randall and King
and Misses Morton and DeForest sustain their
characters in good style. Miss Morton is one of
the brightest and most popular soubrettes on the
stage, and always makes a general favorite.
His SIN" will be seen all week.
THE ZOO THEATER.
There was a good-sized audience at the Zoo
Theater last night to see the first appearance of
the Yang Wings and their company. The three
Yang Wings have certainly earned the reputa-
ton that has preceded them here, as they are
very wonderful jugelers and contortionists.
The bill included in both the theater and thea
forum is lengthy, and includes the European
Statuists, Muldoon Quartet and the three Dash
ington Brothers. Owing to a delay in the ar
rival of costumes, "La Grande Duchesse" will
not be presented until Wednesday. Matinee to-
day.
