ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAUeH's OPERA HousE.-It was unusually
late when the final curtain fell at this house
last night, owning to the repetitions which the
audience insisted on having of some Of the
musical numbers which particularly caught
their fancy. The score Of Lorraine" is well
supplied with those catchy airs which at once
secure the ear of an audience, notably pleasing
being THE Fair Land of Provence" and the
drinking song in the second act each of which
was demanded again and again. Dellinger's
music has not generally the brilliancy or
piquancy of the French opera bouffe composers,
nor the solid merit of Won Suppe. but it is
pleasing and respectable. and at times, as in
the numbers noted, develops qualities that
never fail to appeal successfully to the popu-
lar ear. The story of Lorraine" is about of
the airy material of which dreams and light
opera books are commonly made and it
will not be necessary to tell it here Miss Laura
Moore as Madeline, the heroine, has a very soft
and sweet soprano. which she failed to use to
the fullest dramatic advantage last night owing
10 evident nervousness. Miss Moores manner
OF singing shows training of the best kind.
She has winning naturalness of manner which
ought, combined with her gifts a vocalist to
insure her much success in light and romantic
opera. MIR. Oudin's manly voice stirred the
house TO much enthusiasm several times, par
tlcularly in The Fair Land of Provence"
Miss Annie Meyers as Ollacier had much to do
both vocally and otherwise. and she did it all
with aconscientiousness and roguish spirit that
won her great favor. DeWolf Hopper was as
acrobatlc and ponderously giddy as usual. Mrs.
Laura Joyce-Belrs kissing song was deservedly
redemanded On Saturday night Col. McCaulrs
company will give ''Boccaccio" with a very
strong cast, including Hopper and Digby Bell.
The BooTH-BARRETT ENGAGEMENT.-A large
number of Washingtonians witnessed the
Booth-Barrett production of Julius Caesar" at
the Holllday-street theater, in Baltimore, last
night. The play was exquisitely staged and
costumed. OF peculiar interest to the resi-
dents of this city was the assumption of the
role of Marc Antony. by Mr.. Charles B. Han
ford, young Washingtonian, who has met
with distinguished success on the stage. Mr..
Hanford gave forceful and finished portrayal
OF the subtly blunt Roman, and fairly shared
the honors with the stars, receiving two calls
before the curtain after both the assassination
and forum scenes. The Baltimore Sun to-day
SAYS: MIR. Charles Hanford, as Marc antony,
although young actor, almost divided the
honors with his elders, and gave noble promise
OF most brilliant career" The American
says: Mr.. Chas Hanford's Marc Antony car
RED off the honors of the evening. as far as APP
plause was concerned. He was called before
the curtain several times after the third and
fourth acts, and deserved the hearty demon
STATIONS of favor which he received. His elo-
cutlon was little too declamatory OCCASION
ally, but the Grafton over the dead body of
Caesar, and his scene in the senate after the
ASSASSINATION were full of fire. and feeling"
The demand for seats in Washington for the
Booth-Barrett engagement has been so great
that the management announce an extra matt
nee of Julius Caesar" on Thursday. A special
train will leave the b. and o. depot at 1890.
