ADJUSTMENTS.
BLUE JEANS. ="


1t was roaring audience that assembled at
the theatre last evening to see the play of blue
Jeans" Above the crowd was immense, and
below it was fair, but above and below all
joined in the merriment of the occasion. blue
Jeans is full of original things, and although
critically considered the play might be called
trashy, IL is all so well done and there is such
hearty unconventional air about IL all, that
every one finds himself joining in the merriment
and excitement OF the thing ardently as the
sat in the topmost gallery. The big sensation
scene, which has made the reputation of the
play, where the hero is saved from being ripped
in two by real buzz saw by the exerlions Of his
wife who smasheS through door Just in the
nick OF time (the author probably never saw
Days Under the Gaslight," but we think he
must have heard Of it), went with literal
howls of applause, and alone will
draw another good house tonight. The
hero was in excellent hands, being no other
than those OF the handsome and clever Lswr-
ence Handy, who once made so pleasant an i'm
preston here as Marc Antony in Booth and
Barrett's production of Julius Cesar" The
heroine, played by Laura Burt is equally clever
and strikingly original, new type as 1t were.
and one eXcellently sustained. Nearly all the
! other characters were in good HANDS, especially
the old man OF Mr. Wallace. Miss Lamson's
| Sue, however, was rather absurd in the tragic
portions The singing was good and the scenery
and country coloring throughout excellent. The
| same play goes tonight.

THE CHORAL DEBATES.
The Choral society members about $50 strCaS
met last night and held very spirited deba,t
| on suggestion made by the directors, that in
| view OF Mr.. Stephens resignation, the society
! adjourn until September. The discussion was
freely shared in by lady members, who did not
take at all kindly to the proposition 10 stop
work. Nearly two hours were passed in talking
| and the consensus of opinion seemed to be that
it was great pity to see the society discon
ttnue, andifit could be done in no other way, the
society should be re-organized and put on more
! strictly artistic basis. How to weed out the I'm.
desirable element was the problem. Mr..
Stephens was present and took occasion to de-
nounce the statement made by some crank in
the Tribune that church influence had anythins
to Go with his resigning. de repeated that he
had resigned for the same reason that he would
leave the tabernacle choir If like conditions ex
1sted and he said the many courtesieS The
society had received from the church people
ought to have defended them from any such IN
Just charge as had been printed, which wa:
greeted with unanimous approval Mrs. DR.
Plummer and Miss Lily Snyder, though depre
eating the discontinuance of the society, spok
against working without some aim. Mr.. Whit
ney for the directors stated that they though
ticable than now, ana If the society were put OIL
a proper footing and made only 100 or 200 stron
: that Mr. Stephens would then take charge of il
J The presiding officer, DR.. Vincent, was empow
cred TO name five ladies and FIVE gentlemen
who should submit a plan for reorganiZing mex
Monday night, and the society adjourned Ill
that time.
