ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAUeH's OPERA HousE-There II much
well-painted scenery used in the spectacle
called ''The Twelve Temptations" which was
put on at Albaugh's last night, some Of the sets
being the work of such artists as Getz and
Reid. The instantaneous changes were fre-
quent, and several of them briskly DONE The
ballots were applsuded and the mishaps Of
Snoro caused some laughter. The bear dance
was amusing and the cockatoo ballet was calcu-
lated to please the children Miss Jessie West
gave her song and dance quite prettily. What
the scenery and dancing and dialogue were
about was rather more obscure than is usually
the case in spectacular productions; but then,
doubtless, nobody cared, for spectacles are to
be seen and not TO be understood
NATIONAL THEATER.-Even if the younger
generation Of tragedians fall far short Of reach
ing the high plane of excellence on which
those Of former dramatic epoch trod with
resounding passion, or which the older ones Of
the present generation tread with stately power,
still they merit in their degree applause, en-
enlargement and support, as well for what
they do as for the promise they give Of future
eminence. Mr.. Frederick Warde il one OF the
most energetic and indefatigable of this
younger generation, and from season to season
it is gratifying to note in his work the evil
dences of growth in artistic perception and
elaboration, and an appreciation Of the effect
iveness OF repose and reserve in the interpre-
tation of heroic roles. Mr.. Warde' Damon
last night seemed to be rendered with unusual
quietness, and was, on that account, more &C
ceptable to the lower part Of the house, while
not less effective in winning the ready SYM
pathy Of the higher regions. Mr.. Warde was,
Of course, literally applauded. His support is
good. This evening 'Virginius" will be given.
HARRIS BIJoU THEATER. - Despite the
wretched weather large audience assembled
at Harris Bijou Theater last night to hear
"Erminie" under the name Of 'The Two Vaga-
bonds" Miss Susie Kirwin sang the leading
part with good taste, and the parts taken by
Miss Julie Christie, Miss Alice Verona and Mr..
w. H. Kohnle were also in good hands. This
evening the same opera will be given
KERNAN's THEATER.-The name Of Kernell
has for many years been associated with clever
speciality work. and the company of variety
people gathered under the leadership of Harry
Kernell this season gives performance as
good as has been seen at Kernan's in long
time. Harry Kernell himself, Frank Bush, the
inimitable, and James Reilly, of course made
big hits. On Thursday Kilrain and Mitchell
will appear.
The GLOBE THEATER-This house. formerly
the Dime Museum. has been repaired and re-
fitted, and was opened, under new manage
ment, last night with an attractive specially
entertainment on the bills. The audience was
large, and extracted great amount of fun out
of the performance.
Mr.. LELAND T. POWERS, the dramatic reader,
who will appear at Congregational church on
Friday night, has won place for himself in the
amusement world with rapidity which is the
best evidence Of his striking talent. His enter
tainments are now standard events in many
large cities. There has been brisk sale of
seats for his appearance on Friday evening"
The PANORAMA of the Battle of Shiloh"
will celebrate Thanksgiving by reducing the
admission fee. Two lectures will be given at
$50 and 1880 pm.
