ADJUSTMENTS.

Academy Of NJ, sic,-The Hinrichs Opera
Company produced Faust last night In
manner which wasL calculated to remove
any lingering doubtttas to the success of
the engagement. The verdict was better
than a critical opinion; 1t was the spon-
taneous expression lof popular enthusiasm.
There was no disposition to stint the APP
plause. The method, of the management
Is to concentrate ats forces on the per-
Torrance of the principals in the cast.
There is little effort at scenic display, and
the appreciation shown the honest musical
merit upon which the entertainment relies
Is credit to the, general taste. The In
equality OF things was Illustrated by the
ter than that of Carmen the house was
not so large. Nine. Van Cauteren evoked
warm demonstrations of approval by the
manner in which she sang Marguerite, and
M1chelena was not only conscientious and
capable musician, but what is so desirable
In tenor, pleasing figure on the stage.
V1vlan1 was at home in the part Of Me-
phisto Miss Fleming as Siebel and Miss
Synneberg as Martha earned share of
commentator and gave promise Of good
things in the future. Campanari had the
comparatively subordinate role of Valen-
tine, but made powerful Impression, none
the less. His animation and sympathy
make him one of the most notable singers
heard here in a long time. The work of
the orchestra was an improvement on the
performance of the night before, although
it still plays too loud, and the chorus made
good showing, all things considered.
Tonight "Giaconda" will sing for the first
time in this city in a number of years.
Mr.. Henrichs has made proposition to
Sig. Mama, and it is possible that he may
be heard in the Barber Of Seville and in
Faust" during this operate season.
New National Theater.-Mr. and Mrs.
Kendall last night gave THE Second Mrs.
r. M
to an audience that was certainly apprecia-
tive of their efforts. The play itself was
commented upon at length in theset col
umns when 1t was first presented here? and
the opinion then expressed is not In any
way modified. 1t is built upon an artificial
motive 1t is vicious in it's purpose, and it
leaves bad taste in the mouth when 1t is
finished. Still it furnishes an opportunity
for some forcsful acting, which Is taken
advantage of by Mr.. and Mrs Kendall and
their admirable company. Tonight the at
traction will be a strong contrast in "A
Scrap of Paper

ton. Mr.. Melville Hensey, Mr. George Terry

Whiting to again listen to her rich con-
ratio voice, and the fact that she is to

of the audience.

made necessary by the illness of. one of

rendition of the new opera comique, and
the cast, chorus and ballet dancers are all
capable of properly interpreting the work.
