ADJUSTMENTS

THE Old South" as played at the
CIunie Opera-house, pleases greatly, the
racing scene, the plantation songs, the
duel of the dollars, the comedy vein
introduced by Mr.. Waldron and Jennie
Calef, the quartet specialties, Mr.. Hess
i'll black face, Miss Nannary IN the
| emotional role and Lizzie Lingham in
pathoS, Mr.. Halett as the yiliain and
Mr.. Snow as the hero all combine to
make the play move with celebrity and
spirit and TO sustain deep interest from
the beginning to the end. The same
piece again tonight.
The very few who assembled in the
Metropolitan Theater last night to hear
the Beasey children in an instrumental
concert We're gratified in manner and to
an extent they will never forget. If thew
! do not advertise the entertainments for
this afternoon and tonight so well as to
| insure large audiences on those occasions
we shall be gloriouSIy mistaken and dis
appointed. The four girls, ranging from
about to 10 years of age, are prodigies
IN music. All four play the violin with
the ease and skill Of accomplished adults.
while three of them are piauists
and one composer of remarkable
genius. 1t was something astonishing to
SCO SbiSi a wv hS llILlG lOIGLLd stand
without score before her and DIav Il
most difficult and very long concerto
from De Beriot, The music memory OF
| these children could not possibly be so
highly cultivated if behind it there did
not lie genius of an extraordinary charac-
ter jennie BeaSey is at once a yiolinist of
exceeding delicacy OF stopping and grace
OF execution, but pianist OF rare touch
and surprising brilliancy of execution
Her intelligence and feeling is not so
| broad as Miss Jennie's, but Butterfly
| Beasey Is scarcely less successful than her
older sister when her age is taken into ac-
count. Little Alaytlower Beasey is vat
too small to sit at the keyboard with
marked success, but with the violin she
is second of marked ability. The child
who pIeases most is e-selt-possessed
precoclous prodigy Violetta; the miss
who Is most inspired, and whose PLAYING
moves upon the highest plane is Jennie
! Such music performances as these re
markaDle girls gave last night has not
been paralleied here-it was simply
wonderful. The regret is that lhey were
not advertised up to their merits. Surely
had the public known what wonderful
little people they are the theater would
have been nlled, and we trust
that 1t VIII be tonight. 1t was al
once popular and classic concert
last night; 1t was worthy of the attention
OF the most cultivated musicians, and
commanded the respect and hearty ap-
piause OF all others. Managers De ain
and Todd have invited the children of 81
Joseph's Convent and of the Protestant
Orphan Asylum to attend the matinee
this afternoon. The prices on that occa-
sion will be 50 and 25 cents. Tonight the
last concert and complete change OF pro-
gramme. Children are admitted at night
Tor % cents and as the little girls interest
both old and Young the fhildra, - -
city ought TO be permitted to attend and
see how some of their own class nave Inv
nature been wonderfully gifted and how
such young people have by study and
diligence developed their native talents
to degree that makes them marveIs-
surprises not to be forgotten.
