ADJUSTMENTS.

| ALBAUGH's.-The spring and summer season
| of light and refreshing opera was opened at
| AlbaUgh's last night by Cartoons company in
| the tuneful opera of "Nanon." which at all
seasons is a pleasant thing TO see and hear. The
| opening night was auspiciously balmy and the
/ foyer of the theater at o'clock presented the
| appearance of "A night in June" The curtain
rose at SIS and the play began with Miss
! Marion Langdon as NGnOn, instead of Miss
! Clara Lane. who was seriously indisposed.
Miss Langdon, considering she took the part
on very short notice, did very we'll indeed, and
her work was fully appreciated She has a
strong. clear voice. not highly pitched and her
stage manner is easy. Mr.. Carleton won the
| first applause of the evening as Marquis
UAubiqlse. Miss Vincent made a really beau
! tiful NuIOn d. LEnciOS i'll face and figure and
met the requirements of the part well. The
choruses as a rule, were strong, with moments
of weakness, and the entire opera might be
similarly described. /. Was better in some
places than in others, bu. il will be improved
with each succeeding night of its production
and the general work of the company will show
a marked change as ii grows familiar with it's
surroundings. Mr. Murray. Mr.. Bigelow, Mr.
Blake and Miss Wisdom are worthy of more
than passing notice. "NanOn" will be repeated
each night this week.
NATIoNAL.-lt is scarcely to be expected that
a notice of the appearance of AugGstin Dalv's
company i'll Washington would be in the nature
OF a criticism OF the performance. The only
point To be criticised is that Mr.. DAILY adds
thirty-tEree and one-third per cent to his
New York prices. As to the work of his COM
pany and his own efforts to bring it to high
standard nothing can be said except in praise
1t is Il work OF art. with its imperfections. of
course, but none the less art, and most enter
tanning and delightful art. The play last
night at the National was The Railroad of
Love, AmericaniZed from the German and
very bright and very funny Miss Rehan
Mrs. Gilbert, Miss Irving. Mr.. Drew Mr.
Lewis and III fact each member of the cast
did with graceful touch the individual parts
which constituted an exquisite whole. At the
end of the second act. after recall to Miss
Rehdn, Mr.. DAILY was called on for speech
and he made one in his usual finished manner
finished il quick, that Is TO say. Not less
brilliant than the performance was the au-
dience and every box was filed. save the stage
box reserved for the President and his party,
who at the last moment sent their regrets.
Tanning of the Shrew" tonight
HARRIS BIJoU.-The welknown melodrama
OF Shadows of Great City" is not new to
Washington theater gOers, yet the play as pre-
sented last night captlvated the large audience
present. The scenic effects are very creditable.
The plot Is laid in New York city and its imme-
date vicinity and the scenes true to nature.
The company Is an unusually strong one and
together combined to give performance of
superior excellence. AS Tom Cooper, John
Marshall was very good. Abe NdthdHS, pawn
broker. by VIM. Cullington. was a character
study III itself, while the detective of Mr.. w. II.
Burton was easy and lfelike. Miss Rose
Tiffany, i'll the dual role of .1Hnie and Helen
S'dI"tiSh her daughter, was the star. while the
Btddy Roman of Miss Annie Ward Tiffany
pleased the audience. Again tonight.
