ADJUSTMENTS,

ALBAUaH's.-Czibulka's well-known comic
opera, "Amorita. was given by the Dickson
Opera Company last night at Albaugh's for the
opening of the third week Of the summer sea-
son, and as usual there was big house in at
tendance. 1t was a warm night too, but it was
comfortable inside and there was plenty Of air
through the big, wide-open doors. There was
some question on the announcement Of "Amor-
it," for this week as to whether it was not bit
beyond the power of this company but the
question was settled at the close Of the first act
and in the minds Of most "Amorita" Is the
most satisfactory performance Of the season so
far. Certainly Miss Post never made better
impression nor sang any better than she did as
AmOritd, and there was genuine enthusiasm for
her, for others, and for the choruses. "Amorita"
unsteady is above the comic opera level as we
understand comic opera. usually essayed by
summer companies. but the Dickson company
in the main handled it very nicely indeed
Fred Frear as Cdstrucci showed up az a gen.
uine comedian, doing the best work he has
yet done, except topical song in the last
act and Miss Hosmer as Perpetud. his wife,
played an excellent second. Miss Bebe vining
who made such hit last week as Tessd, was
the Angelo, a youth in love with AmOrita and
she had an opportunity to follow the lines. in
which she is among the very best On the stage
Miss NUM- was pretty captain OF the guard,
and MIR. Holcombe was good-lookng Duke.
MIR. Greenfelder won an encore on a bass solo
in the last act. and Mr.. Morrison as Patricio, in
a funny makeup, pleased the audience i'm
mensely by very thin and light tenor pair Of
legs. Jess and John, the coonlets. brought
down the house when they came in with the
ambassador from Morocco (Mr. Girard) and
did their act.
