ADJUSTMENTS.


| with the Carletons, and it, has scored a
success right at the start. Its plot and
plan are cut in the usual fashion, with the real
| interest conferred in the music, and filed out
| with the topical song, the current gag and
| those other attractive features that an author
never thinks of, and wouldn't put into his
| hbretto il he did. Among the well-known and
popular singers of other seasons here in the
| Cast are Miss Langdon. Miss Wisdom, Mr.
Carleton and Mr.. Drew. and IL is pleasant to see
their familiar faces and hear their familiar
j voices once more. Mr.. Carleton as Ali Bahia
| made fine figure, and the lullaby song be
] sings in the second act is one OF
those melodies an audience takes home
| with it and never forgets. Miss Langdon
| is as bright and pretty as ever and Miss Wis
| dom as Rhadamanta, especially in her ANA
4 zonian uniform, was delightful surprise to
those who have admired her in this robe. Mr..
Drew as king Indigo" was decidedly funny
| and his Thousand Year" topical song was such
\ a ono as you hear not more than once in a
| thousand years. Mr.. Blake as Janio sang very
| nicely indeed. Miss Bach was effective and
| gained an emphatic encore for her solo in the
| first act. In fact everybody did we'll and did
| everything in spirit, albeit some first night
| bitches we're apparent. Not the least feature
\ III the cast is that donkey Of Ali Baba's. The
| choruses we're good and the young women por-
| ton shapely and graceful Mr.. Alex Haig is
still the musical director, which is the same
thing saying that part of the opera could
not have been better. Indigo" will be the opera
| for the week, and to those who inquire did
| Indigo? the reply is emphatically Indigo
vent?"

composed OF students OF the University OF
Pennsylvania, were greeted by an audience that
filled every seat in the National Theater last
night and there was a fringe Of steel-pen coated
young men, who could not Obtain seats, all
around the back row. Inc audience was

HARRIS BIJoU THEATER. The Graz. and
SteNens Dralhatlc company opened its second
week at the Bijou last night. 1t Is seldom, in
deed, that company fingers more than one
week IN Washington, but the excellent enter

and a new play had to be presented 1t was
"1fe Old Oaken Bucket, and although its
name arouses thoughts OF home and peaceful
ness, IL was anythlnS but that. There were
any humber OF tights and the stirring tableaux

the acting of the st. Bernard dogs and the
Russian ponies quite interesting. The COM

hEESAS's LYCEUM THEATER.-One of the
largest houses of the season assembled at Kerr
mans last night to greet Peter Maher the Irish
champion. who appeared in conjunction with
the Fay Foster Burlesque and Specially Com
pany. The female portion Of the entertain
ment was not up to the average. The special
ties, however, were good as a rule. The Pat
terson Brothers easily carried off the honors
with difficult and finished exhibition on the
horizontal bar. Then came the boxers. Mr..
Billy Madden, the well-known manager Of
boxers. introduced Maher, who stands ready to
meet all corners. FORGETTING 800 to any man
who stays with him for three rounds. His ex-

proved very scientific. Tonight several bouts
