ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAUGH's-J. X EMMETT. h Emmett ap-
peared for the first time last night in Washing
ton in .'Uncle joe" or Fritz in Mad House,
a one-part play written to display the we'll
known and popular qualities of the star. and it
Is no especial compliment to him to say that
without him the effect would not be attractive
number OF new songs are introduced, the
Laughing Jack" song, with its wierd, peculiar
chorus of those strange Australian birds, being
the feature. Strong points in the play are the
children and the magnificent St. Bernard, a
combination which called forth the most en-
thusiastic applause and is really as pretty o
stage picture AS can be seen anywhere. There
were demands for repetition of songs. but ow-
ing to the length of the play Mr.. Emmett asked
permission to go on to the next without the
encore. The scenery in the play is all from
New York, as used when the play was first pre-
sented. Again tonight.
NATIoNAL-"A GOLD MINE."-A large audi
ence came to the National last night to see
Mr.. Nat c. Goodwin as high comedian in "A
Gold Nine" play in which sparkling dia-
logue is paramount. Mr.. Goodwin in this, as
in one or two other high comedies, may find
more congenial work, but he is not the greatest
high comedian in America, as he is the greatest
low comedian. That, however. is his own af-
fair, and SO long as he is making money that is
enough. The company he has with him is su-
perior, Mr.. Paul Arthur being a most excellent
actor and Miss Mae Durfee being a charmingly
pretty one. Mrs. Rush and Miss Coe were
on the abilities of the players. "A Gold Nine"
with its contrast Of the American with the
English on their own soil, to the advantage of
t the Americah' will always be popular. Again
KERSASs-"THE NIGHT OwLs."-Glittering
with scarlet and lace, Manchester's Night Owls
composed of pretty girls with shapely forms,
opened to a large house at kernan's last night.
The opening piece, Lord Fauntleroy's recep-
ton, is interspersed with bright comedy flashes
from well-known artists. The specialties in the
Ohio are all of a superior character. Frank
OBrien gave a new black face act, which was
well received. Miss Annie Wlmuth the Ger
man warbler. triled to the delight of the audi
ence, and the Sculptor's Dream; Or Living
Models, closed a most satisfactory entertain
ment. Again tonight, with usual matinees.
HARRIS BIJoU-'MY PARTNER."-The story
Of MY Partner" is not new to Washington, yet
the hearty welcome it received last night at
Harris Bijou shows concluslvely that it has
lost none OF Its popularity. As whole the
performance was a commendable one and the
large audience was liberal in its applause. Mr..
j. +. Pike as Joe Saunders and Frank Chapman
as Ned Singleton were the partners and carried
out their respective parts with good effect. The
other members of the company are in harmony
with the stars and combine to make good
show. Again tonight and usual matIDeeZ.
