ADJUSTMENTS.
NEW NATIONAL THEATER.

commencing tomorrow, Monday evening,
with matinces on Wednesday and Saturday.
The production is on spectacular scale, with
| the extensive scenery strong choruses, and
peculiar groupings and ceremonies described
in the book. 1t appears to have received an
enthusiastic endorsement wherever it has
been presented, and the general familiarity of
the public with the singular tale, as given by
IIaggurd, has paved the way for an intclli-
gent reception of Mr.. Gillcttc's work on the
stage. Nearly hundred people are engaged
in the piece, including chorus of about fifty
males and females. Despite the thorough
acquaintance of theatcr goers generally with
the plot, the management announce that
standard copies of the story of She" in
book form, will be given to each person at
tending the Wednesday matinee. Said the
usually conservative Boston Beacon: who
ever has not read Rider Haggards excitingly
impossible novel, "She," might go and read
it now, and then proceed to enjoy the
splendidly snowy version of certain episodes
in it which was made by Mr.. Gillette, and is
now drawing delighted crowds to TO the Hol-
lis Street Sheater"
ALBAUGHs GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Tomorrow night the frst-the orig
nal of all the comic operas, truly
styled the beautiful "Evangelne," will
be produced by Mr.. w. w. Tillot-
sons suberb company. The wealth of beau
tiful scenery, the bright and catchy music,
the witty libretto, and the multitude of
charming females, all these-the brilliant
accessories of Manager Tillotson's combina-
tion-will be seen in the performances of
Rice's first and best composition. There is
a something about "Evangeline" that is not
met with in any other of the modern light
operas, a something which established its
popularity some fifteen years ago, and which
has rendered it permanent success, Since
its original production "Evanseline' has un-
dergone many notifications, and numerous
improvements are said to have been made in
its score and dialogues.
ADA GRAY IN EAST LYNNE"
On Monday afternoon at Harris's Bijou
| Theater the distinguished actress, Miss Ada
Gray, will present an entirely new version
adapted from Mrs. Woods's famous story,
East Lynne" Comment upon her acting
is unnecessary. The following article from
a late issue of the Savannah (Georgia) News,
will give the public an idea of the present
performance as given by Miss Gray and her
excellent company: Mature has nodded her
in her kindest moods. A face full of express
sion and an eye capable of emitting at a
single glance the feelings that stir the soul,
and presence that is commanding and full
of grace, added to a voice that rises high in
scenes of passion, withers with scorn and
pleads for pity in its wealth of tenderness.
There is subtle refinement in every look and
every movement that few actresses possess,
and delicacy in her strokes of sentiment that
can spring alone from intuition"
