ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAuGH's OPERA HoUsE.-Henry Lee. who
has long been known as an excellent leading
man, made his first appearance in this city as a
star last night at Albaugh's in play called
The Cavalier" which is an adaptation of d En-
nery's ''Chevalier de Lamoriiere.' The piece
is a good one and not only affords Mr.. Lee an
opportunity for display in those manly and
heroic qualities which have heretofore been
his main characteristics, but also gives room
for bits of character work. which are very well
done and prove him the possessor of q greater
range of talent than was generally supposed.
The other characters are also well drawn and
were well taken. Miss Mabel Jourdan as Louise
gave an excellent performance, as did also Miss
Winnie Seligman as Byzantine. Messrs. E. A..
Mcdowell, VIM. Lee, Reinan and Tingay were
effective In their respective parts. The play
was well put upon the stage and in it Mr.. Lee
will undoubtedly meet with great success.
NEW NATIONAL THEATER.-In the large au-
dience that assembled at the National last night
to witness the Lydia Thompson burlesque COM
pany in Penelope" there were some who re-
membered the fair Lydia when she first came
to this country twenty years ago as the pioneer
in burlesque, and they could hardly realize
that 1t was the same woman they now saw.
Time has dealt very gently with her. She is
as bright, as sprightly, and as full of life as
when she and Pauline Markham and Eliza
Weathersby did ''Sinbad. the Sailor" and the
Forty Thieves" in the olden time. Penelope
is like all burlesques, but it furnishes an oppor-
girls in scanty but gorgeous raiment, for many
dances and much music. Lydia was Ulysses,
Mile Marion Cupid, Aida Jenoures Penelope,
and all found great favor with the audience.
Messrs. Kellerher, Gillow. Denney and Starr
furnished the fun and displayed considerable
comic ability. The whole company is large and
effective all the ladies being of good figure and
lending their aid to spirited and pleasing
performance.
HARRIS BIJoU THEATER.-"Held in Slavery
was the attraction at Harris last night giving
Mr.. Martin Hayden an opportunity for good
delineation of strong melodramatic char
acter. He was supp orted by Miss Besserer as
Jenny, Mr.. j. F. Coyne as Teddy, and gen.
orally good company. The piece contains both
sentiment and comedy, and was well received
by very large audience.
kERNAN's THEATER.-''Ginger Snaps" by
Mr. Richard Hume and his comedy company,
at kernans last night proved to abound in
absurd situations and laughable lines and many
excellent specialties were introduced, which
added to the attractiveness of the performance.
The GLOBE THEATER-The National Female
Minstrel company proved a drawing card at the
Globe last night. and all the various acts were
loudly applauded. Some well-known people
are in the cast, and their specialties are well
rendered

Christ before PLATE is still to be seen at Willard
hall, although but three more days remain in
which the remarkable work of art can be wit
messed.

literary entertainment will be given at the

selected and will be attractively presented.
