ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAUoH's-"THE CRY DIREcToRY."-A year
or SO ago q play came to this town from the
west, which was known principally because of
its inexpensive title, and people went to hear
comedians, and that told very little more. On
the first night it made a big hit, however, ex-
clusively on its merits, and every night there
after for a week audiences came and went and
laughed themselves weak at the broad but
clean fun Of the play and enjoyed equally the
singing and dancing that went with the rest
Then it went over to New York, the testing
place of plays. and there it caught on from the
start and carried the town in its apron. Now
it comes back to Washington greatly improved
and with all the newest and best things in every
department Of fun making and stage attractive
ness. In the company are VIM. Collier, Burt
Haverly, Ignacio Martinetti, ]. C. Miron, J. W.
Ransone, ALI Hampton, Amelia Glover, the
Sisters; Gertie Glover, Bessie Cleveland, Kate

scarcely worth doing. Opening on Monday the
