ADJUSTMENTS.


The heart strings of a select audience
were kept at a high tension by Rhea's per-
sonation of Josephine, Empress Of the
French, at English's last night This earn
est actress has all the natural qualifica-
tions of voice and figure to give the beauu-
full and adored Josephine conceived by
the author of the play, Albert Hayden, the
proper delineation. She impresses her audi
ence as being in such intimate relation with
the character that for the time being, she
lives over again the life of woman who
was cast off by Napoleon to satisfy his
inordinate ambition. That she believed
heart and soul in the great Bonaparte and
was willing to sacrifice her love, wifehood
and everything that he might take new
consort to perpetute the name or Napoleon
cannot be doubted for moment after be-
holding Rheas sympathetic acting; The
