A ADJUSTMENTS,

AIbaugh' s.-Mr. Robert Mantell last night
produced for the first time in this city his
new play, "Parhassius," and Albaugh's
opera House held an interested audience
that closely watched the NOV ement of the
piece 1t has less of action than dialogue,
and the chief interest centers in it's tragic
ending. Mr.. Mantell is seen to excellent
advantage as the Greek artist, his appear
ance being graceful, his elocution clear and
distinct, and his acting, particularly in the
last act, forceful and effective. Mrs. Char
lotte Behrens, as Lydia, the wife of Par
hassius, was beautiful to look upon, and
she interpreted the character with excellent
effect. Tonight THE Corsican Brothers
will again be given.
New National Theater.-Miss Ada Rehan
was greatly admired last night for her ex-
cellent performance of Lady Teazle in Sher-
idan's brilliant comedy of the school for
Scandal" This character exactly fits Miss
Rehan, and she brings to IL all the at
Effectiveness of her own personality, as well
as the result Of a careful study of the part.
Mr.. Wheatleigh was q splendid Sir Peter,
and George Clarke was good Charles
Surface, although he suffered by COMPARE
son with John Drew, who used to do the
part in Mr.. Days company. Unfortu-
nately, Mr.. DAILY thought he could improve
on the great English dramatist, and he
dialogue. Mr.. jefferson does the same
thing in 1.-The Rivals" and the theater-
goers of today lose a great deal that their
elders saw and appreciated. Tonight Love
on Clutches" will be presented.
MY Aunt Bridget week at But
ler's New Bijou Theater will be seen Geo.
w. Monroe in "My Aunt Bridget" The
eccentricities of that stout old lady, Bird
get McVelgh," do not seem to pail upon the
public, and the well-known impersonation
of Mr.. Monroe is not as young as 1t used
to be. Mr. Monroe has many new faces in
his company. Miss Nellie Bland, pretty
girl and clever singer and dancer, is one of
its brightest lights. Misses Lizzie Rich
mond, May Duryea, Ella Falk and Messrs.
Hitchcock, Magee and Morrison are also
clever specialties. But what the audience
take most kindly to is Miss Alice Hanson
and her band of pickaninnies. The per-
Torrance abounds with bright, catchy fea-
lures, and the music is of that light and
tuneful kind that most people like.
