ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Grismer and Miss Davies are 80
well known here that it is superfuous
to write Of their acting.
Yesterday they played The Burglar at
the matinee and Fernclif in the even
ing.
Among the support is Mrs. Sara
Stevens, who in Ferncliff portrayed an
old Irish nurse excellently. Mr.. Scott
Cooper as Dad Hewins and Miss Della
Macquaid as Hattie, in the same play,
do very finished, creditable work, while
the rest of the support are like fairly
clever amateurs.
In both Ferncliff and The Burglar
Miss Davies has parts which she plays
WE'LL roles full of suffering and tears,
and mistakes which it takes to the last
act to remedy; but in The Beacon
Lights, which is billed for Thursday, if
memory serves right, she has quite
jolly role and plays it delightfully."-.
Mr.. Grismer is always conscientious
and earnest, and plays with the success
which he has always achieved.
Tonight, Ferncliff.

The Apollo club gave its fifth concert
OF the season 1891 80 last evening at the
Los Angeles treater, under the direction
of Mr.. Robt. E. Paulsen, the conductor.
Mr.. Chas. Ward was accompanist, and
Miss Helen Parepa, soprano. and Signor
Joseph Rubo, basso, were the principal
soloists. Both Of these eminent artists
were received with the greatest enthusi-
asm and were recalled after each NUM-
ber. This was Signor Rubo's last con-
cert for some time, inasmuch as he
leaves for Mexico today to join the
Emma Juch Opera company, and he will
undoubtedly treasure the memory of
the appreciation with which he was re-
ceived last evening.
The choruses were, generally speak
ing, excellent, though not as strong as
the public expected. The choral train
ing was especially commendable as
argued for by the work of the
mixed and female choruses. The
male chorus once or twice dragged
little, and did not display as much
vigor as they have been wont to do. Yet
this may be hypercriticism, for the au-
dience seemed delighted with this
chorus, especially in the second part of
the programme. The latter, most ex-
cellent one, was as follows:
In April Time-Pinsuti, mixed cherus.
Bell Song Iakme), Delibes, Helen Parepa
To Rest, Away!-tThe Seasons), Haydn, male
chorus.
The Dance Invites Us-Gouncd, female
chorus.
Aria-tMagic Flute), Mozart, Mr. Joseph
Rubo.
The Silent Tide-Pinsuti, mixed chorus.
silent Night-Barnby, mixed chorus.
Parlal-tWaltz song), Arditi, Helen Parepa.
The Forest Sprite-Schuman, female chorus.
Wealthy Lord-(The Seasons), Haydn, male
chorus.
Toreador's Song tCarmen), Bizet, Mr. Joseph
Rubo.
Tell Me, Floral-Pinsuti mixed chorus.
