ADJUSTMENTS.
EngIish's-"ArticIe At"

Barring slight physical defect, that was
more or less remarked last night, Clara
Morris played with all her old-time force
and fascination. In ARTICLE A. there Is
little opportunity for any one besides Miss
Norris to take part. The men and women
who assist her in the cast spend most of
their time alternating at a card table in
the rear, with their backs to the audiences
about as often as their faces, If not
oftener Miss Morris persists in producing
this piece purely for the excruciatingly
powerful crazy scene in the last act. For
an accurate dedication OF the development
of mental arrangement, Miss Morris comes
as near giving a portrayal of the real ar
ticle as has ever been done on the Ameri-
can stage. That she carries her audience
with her through all the trying scene IS
work as she conceives it. 1t becomes fair
ly heart-chilling before the tension is re-
lieved by the paroxysm that ends in her
the Paris gendarme Mr. John Glendin-
ming, her leading support, can hardly pe
said to do more than give an acceptable
rendering of the part of George Duhamel
AS Armand Duval, in Camille" to-day, he
will have a greater scope: The same is
true of w. G.. Kelley as Victor MaZZillier.
Harriet Ford, as Marcele is on the stage
too little to obtain more than a suggestion
of her capabilities. Miss Morris seemed 10
be suffering so much from the lights last
night that il almost destroyed the effect
of her work in the third act Miss Norris
is free from the cough that used to be so
marked, and appeared also to be recov-
cred from her recent attack of rheumatism
The Camille" Matinee To-Day.
Miss Morris's last appearance will be at
the matinee to-day, when she will give
Camille" an impersonation in which she
has no rival among English-speaking act
resses. She does not play tonight. There
is already q large advance sale of seats
for the matinee, which promises to draw
an enormous audience. Miss MorrisS act
ing is great attraction to women.
