ADJUSTMENTS

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing the Marie Wainwright Dramatic
Company will present the beautiful play
and thrilling tragedy, Amy Robsart,"
dramatized from Sir Walter Scotps
"Kenilworth." The theme has been
favorite one with many dramatic authors,
because of its historic character and
romantic interest. In an early version
of this play, the worlds beauty, the
talented Adelaide Nelson, achieved her
greatest dramatic triumph. Miss Vain
wright is beautiful and accomplished
actress. She was last seen here with
the Louis James Company. She
comes now at the head of her own
troupe, and supported by Barton
Hill, sterling actor of the best
school, and once leading manager. lie
is well known and liked in California.
She has, it is represented, competent
support also throughout the roster OF the
troupe. The company carries with it
large amount OF very fine and historically
correct scenery and a still larger quantity
of rich stage settings. Indeed, we are
promised in scenery, fittings and cos
tumery something far out of the COM
mon. The expense OF this engagement is
unusually heavy, but Manager Henry re-
talns the prices at the same figures that
obtained in San Francisco during Miss
y
gagement in that city. The press ac-
counts of her presentation of Amy Rob
sart' there are very tlattering.
The Divide Musin concert last night be-
fore the Lecture Association, at the Con-
gregational Church, drew out an immense
audience, filling the church completely,
save only few remote and undesirable
seats back of the line of the rostrum. 1t
cor tn ~ r.N,1a
Instrumentation. As violinst he is so
well known here, and his mastery skill
SO familiar and freely conceded by local
music lovers, that it is needless to com
ment upon his playing last night, further
than TO say that he is as brilliant and true
an artist as ever. So, too, of Anne
Louise Tanner, now Mrs. Musin. She
has changed ner name, but her voice
possesses the same charm as of old. Miss
Parmater's Is rs sweet and sympathetic
mezzo- soprano voice as ever. Emil
Senger, the basso is new here He has a
rich sonorous and well-trained voice, res
onant and full OF feeling, and his enunca-
ton is a model. Mr.. Dupuy, the tenor,
was sick and unable to appear. Edward
Schart, the pianist, proved a brilliant
soloist and one of the most accomplished
accompanies who has ever visited the
city. There were eleven numbers upon
the programme. Each one was the hinge
for an encore, and to each response was
kindly made, so that the programme
stretched out to twenty-five numbers.
1t was a concert that gave entire satisfac-
ton, il applause is any guide to iudg-
mout on that point. The Lecture ASSo-
citation closes its seasons course next
week with VIII Carleton as the attrac-
ton. On that occasion the association
will present to its ticket-hoiders a Souve-
mir representative of the entire course.
The Lecture Association is managed by
flfIYpnS who n "a Al liTltr nd
who believe in orderly government.
They defied the laws last night, however
10y putting row upon row OF loose seats in
the aisles, at least one row cumbering
each aisle. 1t is a bad practice, but
chiefly II is positively forbidden by the
law. How can the managers excuse
themselves? The law is enforced against
theatrical managers. Why should it be
suspended in favor of the Lecture Asso-
citation and church directors?
The Epworth League of the Sixth
street NJ. L. Church will give an auto
graph social this evening. There will be
other interesting features of the enter
tainment during the evening, among
which is an excellent programme of the
best musical and literary talent of the
city. The socie,y has been to some
trouble and expense for the social in
prizes, etc.
The Sacramento Choral Society, the
youngest of our musical organizations,
will give its second concert on May 9Th.
The performance will consist of the pre-
sentation Of Rossini's ''Stabat Mater
and Bennett's MAY Queen" The for
mer work is too well known To need
comment, but the latter has never been
performed In America. Sterndale Ben
nett was one of England's masters, and
his MAY Queen" was one of his best
compositions. 1t is full of bright, flowing
melodies, pleasing To the ear and delight
ing TO the musical taste. Both these
works will be given by the full chorus of
over one hundred voices and an orchestra
of about fifteen pieces.
There will be tug-of- war contest Mt
Oak Park on Sunday afternoon, at 3
o'clock, between the Capital City and
the American teams They will pull
for $3.50 a size.
RThe ladies of the Sixth-street N. L.
Church, announce fair and festival for
May 10Th, 10Th and Dist.
