ADJUSTMENTS.

Albaugh's.-Mr. Robert Gaylor, once
Bobby Gaylor," but now respondent in
new dignities. and 1t should not be over
looked. wearing them in a very easy fash
ion. appeared at Albaugh's Grand Opera
House last night in the farce-comedy,
Sport McAllister." Plenty of singing,
dancing. wit and merriment keep the ac-
ton moving lightly and rapidly, and there
is very little plot to interfere with the sue
cession Of specialties. The star brings a
personality that is as funny as it is
unique into the piece. He has improved
very substantially in his work. The house
that greeted the production was strong
testimonial to the stars popularity, as it
was crowded to the doors.
New National.-"Across the Potomac"
given with all the stage equipments need
ed to impress its incidents wildly on the
minds of the audience, awakened the senti-
ment and sympathies of large audience
at The New National Theater. The play
has already been seen and approved in
this city. The cast included capable peo-
pie, and some of the speeches were deliv-
cred in a manner that sent echoes OF en-
thusiasm clear from the orchestra to the
back row of the gallery. Among the good
work done was that of Gus Frankel in his
representation of the old negro servant.
Academy Of Music.-No female star is
more popular in this city than Julia Mar
lowe. and her engagements here are always
looked forward to with pleasureable an
ticipation. Miss Marlowe still retains her
girlish appearance and grace that were such
attractive adjuncts to her first success
and 1t is her winning personality as much
as her artistic development that retains
her hold upon the public. Last night at the
Academy Of Music Miss Marlowe was seen
for the first time in this city in the part Of
Constance in James Sheridan Knowles
comedy of The Love Chase" q character
that brought out all her good points, and
her performance greatly Dlea Sed large
and cultured audience. Her support was
good, Mr.. Henry Jewett making an excel
lent Wildrake, Mr.. H. A. Weaver a COM
petent Sir William, and Messrs Walter
Hale, Thos. Coleman and VIM Boag being
In every way efficient. The Widow Green
Of Miss Rose Eytinge was a thoroughly
artistic piece of work, as was expected of
such an experienced and finished actress.
Miss Marlowe was called before the cur
tain at the end of every act
Harris Bijou Theater.-"The Outcasts of
Great City is the attraction at the Bijou
this week. Last night large audience
greeted the initial performance in this city
and went home thoroughly pleased. The
play Is of the melo-dramatic class. possessed
of strong plot with ample opportunities of
displaying the dramatic ability of the COM
pany. The four acts abound in startling
situations and effective tableaux. The seem
cry Is excellent and the attempt to wreck
the train in the third act was a fine bit Of
realism. The company is good throughout.
Daniel A. Kelly, as the hero in the role Of
Dennis O'Hara, adding new laurels to his
popularity. In the second act specialties by
Miss Edith Hall. Little Josie Barrows and
George W. Allen were greatly enjoyed.
Again tonight.
Kernan's Lyceum Theater.-By far the
best variety entertainment presented at
Kernan's this season is that given by Hyde's
Speciality Company. now filling a weeks
engagement at that theater Last night a
crowded house welcomed the show. The
program is long and there is not bad
feature, while many Of the acts are entirely
new. The performance opened with sketch
by those fun-makers Hayden and Hether-
ton. Then came Jessica, the queen of the
slack wire, who performed a serpentine
Macs" contributed a laughable sketch. while
Ray and Sherwood did a clever turn en-
titled. My Husbands Photograph" Fake
and Semons proved themselves not only
comedians, but thorough musicians The
Allisons are excellent dancers, and Helen
Mora received an ovation. She has lost none
Of her rich contralto voice and her songs
were well rendered. The Imperial Zanueto
Troupe are truly marvellous jugglers, and
the afterpiece. THE Wild West" very fun
ny. Again tonight.
wonderland.-There was disappointment
at Wonderland because the boxing kangaroo
did not appear, but the talking seal Of Prof
Perkins. which took the place Of the dead
kangaroo, made a great hit. New attrac-
lions are being added to the museum, in

Fisk jubilee Singers.-Tomorrow evening
the singers will appear for the second time
at Metzerott Hall. The indications are that
the audience will be larger than at the first
concert. The program will be changed,
though the old plantation songs will be
largely given. Those who were fortunate
enough to hear the first concert will doubt
less go again. and those who did not will be
amply repaid by attending this entertain
