ADJUSTMENTS.

Academy of Music.-Two operas We're
given by the Hinrichs company Satur-
day-"Faust" at the matinee and THE
Barber of Seville" The former was no.
tceable for two new people in the cast.
Miss Myrta French singing Marguerite for
the first time aid Sig. Mama sustaining
the part of Mephisropheles. Miss French
gave a very creditable performance and in
dicated what may be expected of her when
she gets more familiar with the character.
Sig. Mama was effective in his difficult role,
singing with spirit and acting with true
dramatic force. Mr.. Michelena repeated
his pleasing Interpretation of the title role.
In the evening THE Barber was listened
to by one of the largest houses of the sea-
son, proving the popularity of this opera.
and the applause showed the enjoyment
received by it's excellent Interpretation.
Sig. Del Papa was at his best, and sang and
acted in true artistic style. The excellence
of this singers work is shown in his reci-
tations Well as in the arias. The former
are intelligently delivered. while the flexi
bility of his voice and his splendid method
enable him to fully cope with RossinIs
ford music. Sig. Campanari was earnest
and forceful, always, and Sigs. Viviani
and Mama contributed largely to the gen.
eral effectiveness of the performance. Nine.
Van Cauteren's Rosina Is one of her best
parts, and she sang in excellent voice on
Saturday night. The orchestra, under the
mastery leadership of Mr. Hinrichs,
all that could be desired. Tonight COM
