ADJUSTMENTS.

Coquelin and Hading.-The American
tour OF M. Coquelin and Nine. Hading will,
from present indications, prove one of the
most Interesting these famous artists have
undertaken in many years. Their roper
tory is strong. The varied quality of the
plays in which they appear cannot fail to
appeal to the great majority of theater
goers. Seldom, indeed have American low
ers Of the drama an opportunity to see
representatives from the famous Theatre
FRANCHISE In some Of the best works of
the French dramatists. Even though an
audience may not be conversant with the
French language. the pantomime of the
players Is so clever that the play Is readily
followed without the aid even of a libretto.
The people engaged to support NJ. Coquelin
and Nine. Hading are acknowledged to be
the best French players, as a company,
ever brought to the country. 1t is COM
posed of NJ. Jean Coquelin, son Of the IA
nous comedian; Messrs. Volny. Chameroy,
Maury, Deroy, Hertz. Nicolini. RAINY,
Chambly and Moriere, and the female
members of the company are Mines Paul
Inc. Barely, Duluc. Danville Simonson,
and Dalba. In most Of the plays an
nounced for presentation here at Albaugh's
next week NJ. Coquelin and Nine. Hading
will be seen together on the same night.
Among them will be "Tartuffe." La Pre-
cieuses Ridicules." "F'rou Frou," 'L'Aven-
turiere' and Claire in lie Maitre de
Forges." 1t was, 1t may not be out of
place to remark here, in the last-named
character in ''The Forge Master that she
made her first distinct hit before the Paris
public in an emotional role. That the visit
of the representatives of the House of
MOliarh' he Of ifoo IN
the large number ftheater goers there
Is little reason to doubt.
Frank Mayo.-That veteran actor Frank
Mayo makes his appearance in Washing
ton this season at Harris Bijou Theater
In his famous play, "Davy Crockett" His
performance of that powerful and poetic
role is described the crystallized excel
lence of ripe experience of genius for char
intuition or consummate knowledge of
human nature" OF the many good things
that Mayo has done Crockett is unQues-
tionably his best It's story is simple, but
calls forth to their perfection the personal
graces and the dramatic power that have
caused Mayo to be regarded with a popu-
lar admiration that amounts almost to af.
lection. His engagement Is one Of the most
interesting of the present season.
Reilly & Woods Company.-Two new
and unique attractions will be presented at
the Lyceum next week in connection with
One of these will be Big Frank" the orig
inal boxing kangaroo, from Sir George
Wombelrs managerie, London. The other
is bevy of Hawaiian dancing girls, who
appeared on the Midway Plaisance during
the worlds fair in the Hula! Hula! their
national dance. At the conclusion of this
they sing their native songs, with &C
compartments upon native instrument Is.
The famous Reilly & Wood Company sup
plement these attractions with a superior
vaudeville performance, which concludes
with the roliicking farce entitled THE
Mystic Order of undertakers,' with Pat
Reilly in a favorite characterization.
Convention Hall-The concerts of the
Imperial Austrian Infantry Band at Con-
vention Hall are increasing in popularity,
and the audience last night was the largest
yet. and the applause was almost con-
tinuous. Perhaps the most artistic number
on the program was Handlers Largo for
strings, which was eXquiSitely played.
Nearly every selection was encored and the
audience even then was hardly satisfied.
The matinee that was to be given today has
been postponed until tomorrow afternoon,
and the prices have been fixed for that oc-
casIon at fifty cents with children at half
price So popular have been these concerts
that the engagement of the band has been
prolonged through the entire week, and it
will be heard every night and at matinee
on Saturday. 1t is rarely that an Opportu-
nifty Is given for listening to such an excel
lent body of musicians and the big Conven-
ton Hall should be crowded at each con-
cert.
Seidl and Slivinski-A treat soon in store
for the musical as we'll as the fashionable
world is the advent at the Seidl concert,
December 8, of Herr Slivinski. By those
who have had the pleasure of hearing
him both in Europe and New York, he Is
considered to be fully the equal of the gift
ed Paderewski, while. unlike the latter, he
has everywhere received the social stamp
of recognition due to his charming person
ality and fine air of distinction.
1t is predicted that q will meet with
much success both unsteady and socially
during his visit here.
National Rifles Hall.-Tonight there
will be an amateur dramatic performance
at the National Rifles Hall by the Sheri-
dan Dramatic Company, when Byron's
excellent comedy, "Our Boys" will be pre-
scented. The performance will be for the
benefit of the Fifth Battalion D. c. N. G.,
and the charity fund of Phil. Kearney
Camp. No. 10, Div. of Md, S. of V. There
should be good attendance.
Patti-The advance sale of seats for the
Patti concert that will take place at AL
haugh's next Monday opened at Droop's
music store this morning, and there was
long line of people anxious to secure seats
showing the great interest that is felt in
the appearance of the greatest singer of the
age. The result of the sale indicated that
the audience will be the largest to which
Patti has ever sung in this city.
Prof. VIM. c. Carl at Metropolitan NJ f,
Church.-The program which Prof. VIM. c.
Carl will render at the Metropolitan NJ. Z,
Church tomorrow evening not only makes a
severe demand upon the abilities of the per-
former, but. has been compiled with a
rarely cultivated taste. 1t contains speci-
mems of the best work Of the older organ
masters, together with compositions of the
most advanced modern school, including
several pieces which are attracting much
attention in Europe, but which have never
before been rendered upon this side of the
Atlantic. With the magnificent instrument
in the church on which to display his skill
the concert must prove a rare treat.
