ADJUSTMENTS.

'Nanon" was sung by the Carleton OPP
era Company last night at the Metropoli-
tan Theater TO good house. 1t was finely
quis, fills role that he has quite made his
own, and in which he achieved his earliest
and has since maintained his best success.
Mr. Murray, as the Able, emphasized the
good impression he made on the preceding
evening, as baritone whose voice is of a
notably fine quality, and marked by ex-
ceptional feeling. Miss Lane as Nanon,
was the spirited actress the part demands,
and sang with an intelligent comprehen-
sion of the score that gratifed crit
ical musical tastes. Miss Winston's
Ninonwas a delicate bit of artistic skill
not remarkable for brilliant vocaliZation SO
much as for the sensibility with which the
thought of the part was portrayed. In
the third act she interpolated beautiful
love song, ERE We Part" that won a de-
served encore. It was sung with tender
ness and feeling very satisfying The cho-
rus of the troupe testifies to its being an
exceedingly we'll balanced body of singers,
the tone of which is round and strong, and
the work of which is precise and careful.
This afternoon at o'clock the beautiful
opera The Brigands," by many exacting
musical critics deemed Offenbach's best
composition, will be repeated with sill the
fine scenic effects with which it was pro-
duced on Thursday night. Tonight "Er-
mimic" of which the public never tires,
will be sung. The prices for the matinee
to-day are to be 81 for the dress circle and
so cents for the family circle.
A large and satisfied audience at the
Congregational Church last evening listened
to Rev. Mr.. Herrick's explanation of a
large number of beautiful electro-opticon
views. The pictures were all very fine and
thrown upon a screen of very large area
by means of q dissolving view apparatus
combined with an arc electric light burner,
the whole manipulated by Edward John
son. The prelude embraced portraits OF
Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton. The
lecture of running comment was upon
views in Washington City, Philadelphia,
New York and Boston. Il was an enjoy
able and instructive entertainment and
fully up to promise.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next,
at the Metropolitan Theater, 1.-THE Stow
away" will be reproduced, with the scene in
which the action is upon the deck of full
rugged yacht, ana with Inc introduction
also of the sensational tank scene, and that
in which the reformed burglars, Spike
Hennessey and kid" Mccoy" illustrate
how graduates of Sing Sing blow open a
safe according to the standard OF the pro-
fessional craftsman. When this sensa-
tional play was given here year or so ago
it met with great success and drew crowded
houses. 1t is this play which has kept the
boards in England and the provinces for
now six years. In the way of novel and
mastery stage-settings, it is remembered
as phenomenal. The pictorial displays are
of the greatest variety, and are recalled as
exceptionally fine. The company, we are
assured, is as strong as on the occasion
when the piece was first given here. The
exciting plot is so melodrsmatic that weak
people would make it farcical. The need
is, therefore, for thoroughly competent
people in all the parts, equal to all the
stirring situations and the emphatic and
highly wrought text that Thomas Craven,
a well-known English actor and play
wright, has penned. Manager Hall an
nounces that by telegraphic contracts he
has arranged to have the election returns
from all over the country announced from
the stage at short intervals on Tuesday
evening.
