ADJUSTMENTS.

ALBAusH's.-The popularity Of Gilbert 4
Sullivans "GOndoliers' was fully demonstrated
at Albaugh's yesterday, when it drew large
audiences both at the matinee and at night.
This tuneful opera has been heard here many
times and always with pleasure. 1t was one Of
the most successful operas during the engage
ment OF the Carleton troupe last summer, and
it promises to be equally as successful this sea-
son. The cast is a particularly good one,
each member appearing to catch the spirit Of
Gliberts humor, while all are thoroughly COM
petent to cope with Sullivan's melodious vocal
score. That the audience last night was fully
satisfied with the performance was evidenced
by the frequent applause and the number Of
encores demanded. Misses Bach. Bell. Lang
don and Wisdom, Messrs. Carleton, Taylor,
Rlcketts, Blake and Drew all found favor and
fully sustained their weII-earned regulations.
The chorus was large and effective and the
dances, particularly that in the second act. were
gracefully performed. The opera is hand
somely staged and the costumes are rich and ap-
propriate. Again tonight.

HARRIS BIJoU THEArEB.-No play Of recent
production has made profound impression on
the public more than DIR. Jekyll and Mr. HYDE
and its presentation at Harris Bijou Theater las
night was received with every demonstration of
=. II
deep impression on all who see it. 1t tells q
great moral truth in way that is full of force
and vividness. Mr.. Clarke has enjoyed extra
ordinary success with the gruesome but fasci-
mating dual character. 1t is a role that very
few actors are competent to assume. Mr.. Clarke
makes the contrast between Dr.. JekyU and Mr.
Hyde very marked, and his transformation
scene, which takes place in full view of the
audience, is startling in its intensity and Won
derful IN its effectiveness. The suppDting
company is one of merit throughout Messrs.
Gordon. Glenn, Cooper and lowering and
Misses Florence Gerald and Jennie Grey, as
well as those who assumed the minor roles. re-
fected credit on the organization. A large
