ADJUSTMENTS.
ALBsuGHs.-Mr. d. Jupiter Bell. with Mrs.
| Jupiter Joyce Bell and a company of singers,
/ appeared at Albsugh's last night in opposition
TO the fireworks on the Monument lot, and
| while there was plenty of room the lot there
wasn't in Albaughs, although at 8 O'Clock
/ there were only two people there. 1t was. in
reality, a fine audience, and as there were many
! leftover Inauguration visitors present there
| was great enthusiasm and spirited perform
| ance. Mr.. Bell Of course. is the show, and he
is very realistic and Digbybellistic Jupiter,
| Olympisd he is in the books. But
| Digby gets there tout lie meme, as
| they say in Athens. Mrs. Bell as
\ Pandora is ever bright and fair and has tn p
audience with her. The Hollins sisters are
always pretty and Miss Hilda as Juno is espe-
| cially royal in her beauty. Miss Knapp as
Claudia is in a new character. There are some
changes and improvements in Jupiter since
its previous production here and there are new
gags introduced which catch on unanimously.
Jupiter has made q fine start and will go with
a whirl Again tonight.
NATIoNAL.-"The Lost Paradise one Of
Charles Frohman's productions. was presented
at the National last night for the first time in
Washington and, although it might have been
appropriate to be so just now, the audience was
not composed entirely of republicans. On the
contrary. it was a very general audience and
plenty of it. The Lost Paradise" is play on
the old and always popular themes Of love tri-
umphant after many trials and tribulations, but
il adds the modern side line of the conflict of
labor and capital. There is, of course, pathos
in the play and the usual lighter vein,
and the combination is of more or less
power. There is something Of the realistic
in the play. the factory scene being especially
good. ard the telephone in the rich mans par
, lor being quite the reverse, inasmuch as tele-
phones nowadays are not good form as parlor
I p,lxf thaa
perintendent of the factory and Miss Lyon as
the owners daughter. who is loved by the su-
perintendent, do some very good work, and
Miss Cohen carries a difficult part to very
successful finish. As ususual with Frohman
company the people Of the play are well graded
and each part is fairly well fitted to its player.
ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Those very popular
people. Rose and Charles Coghlan. appeared at
the Academy of Music last night in ''Diplo-
macy" The play and the players have both
been seen and approved here earlier in the
season. There had existed an impression which
seemed to partake of the nature of a super
stition that diplomacy notwithstanding its
conspicuous merits was not likely TO succeed.
The Coghlans have effectuallv dispelled this
idea Their success with the play is due to the
conscientious manner in which they have cast
il. Miss Coghlan is an able actress in certain
lines, and she finds the part of Zeicka congen-
ial. Charles COghlan is a capable actor who
makes an excellent Beduclerc. Sadie Martinez,
John T. Sullivan. Robert Fisher, Mabel Eaton,
Madam Won Grautman and that sterling actor.
Frederick de BellevIlle, who has recently been
added to the company. all combine to give the
cast that evenness of merit that is essential
to a satisfactory presentation of this play.
