ADJUSTMENTS.

EVAEGBLINE-The whole town sought
surcease from its sorrow over Cleve-
lands defeat by emptying into the
Theatre last night. such an audience
as crowded every inch of standing
loom up stairs and down is a sight but
s.ldom vouchssfed any manager, and
one only witnessed in Salt Lake during
Conference, at minstrel performance
or leg show. EVangeline is not a
leg show-it is a show OF pretty much
the whole humane form divine. 1t is
the greatest thing Of its kind on the
road; huge absur6ity, it makes up in
limbs what it lacks in brains,
and some enchanting costumes, some
gorgeous scenery, some charming faced
girls and some clever people, make it as
much OF a success and go as if 1t
were shining with genius. The lovely
Louise Montague, with her charming
voice, which Was only occasionally out
OF key, the piquant and viyacious Fl Y
Templeton with her popular topical
song of II like 1t, d." and with only
a little bit of the voice left with which
she used TO carol Girofe- Girofa; the
prodigious and elegantly array, d
mountain of flesh George Fortescue,
the unctiously 1unny Schiller es
LIE Blanc, and the well-known, but
somewhat mechar zeal. George Knight
as the Dutch captain-to say nothing
of the wiry Mafett, the original Lone
Fisherman-made up a coterie which
carried the house ana gave an evening
of merrlment which hosts of bad puns
could not altogether mar. Nor were
these by any means the sole features.
The scenery was beautiful in the ex.
IRENE, and as for the costumes of the
girls, language falls short of conveying
an idea of their be Tildering beauty; the
amazon march gave their costumes g.
great chance, and with the variegsted
lights thrown on them, th=y made a
regular vision of loneliness. The music
is quite trivial. but catchy.
and the popular love duo between
Montague and Templeton, with one fe-
male chorus, was greatly applauded.
The show is on this afternoon and
evening, and will continue to do great
business.
LOUIS JAMES AND MARIE WAINWRIGHT,
who have not been seen here since they
began starring, but who are well re-
membered from their visits with Bar
rett, open an engagement at the theatre
on the 18th. Mr.. Ned Royle, of this city,
is in the company.
HERR KoHLER's CONCERT.
The concert given by Herr Kohler at
Calder's Hall last evening was really a
society event, so far as the ladies were
concerned, at least, and the quality of
the audience wac no less plimentary
to the artist than were its numbers
The Ladies' Musical Society was out in
force and, in fact, all the people that
could have been comfortably seated
were present.
The programme was charming one,
Weber. Mendelssohn, Mozart, Chopin,
Rubenstein, List and the other great
composers being alternately given,
each with all the expression and feeling
that could possibly be desired. 1t is
difficult TO make special mention of any
particular selection in q programme of
such unusual excellence, but there will
always be tender place in the heart of
every lady present for that tender
nocturne of ChoDins. OF a higher order,
The NJ II Wheel (Jensen) WAS highly
appreciated. The finale from Mendels-
shon's Flrsts Concert in G minor, was
one of the gems. but for power.
gEanduer and brilIiancy, nothing could
compare with Herr Kohler's execution
OF the FHungarisn Rhapsody" This
great work Of LisZt was handled in a
styis tluIv wonderful and was entirely
beyond criticism.
AS said before, Mr.. Kohler is an artist
of high order. He has been compared
to Joseffv. but would properly be classed,
no doubt, notch below that great
but only notch. His char
actertics are power and ''stoli dity," if
the latter tenn may be applied to such
a subject.
The programme given below will
give an excellent idea of Mr.. Kohler's
taste:
