ADJUSTMENTS.


Lafayette Square Opera House.-It is
now some twelve years that Mr.. Frederick
Warde has been visiting Washington as a
star, and it is the slightest of the compli-
ments that may be paid him to say that
during that time he has, with praise
worthy consistency, done whatever lay in
his power to keep his profession unsullied
and unassailable before the public, while
growing ripper individually in his exposi-
ton of his art. Each of Mr.. Warde's en-
gagements here from the first has been the
superior in financial returns over its pre-
decessor. In recent seasons he has made
notable revivals of several Shak espeareln
plays that have added largely to his repu-
tation as a scholarly and intelligent artist,
rich in stage lore and professional expe-
rience. This year he is presenting series
of romantic dramas, as carefully mounted
| and deliberately rendered as were any of
those with which he has heretofore been
associated His company is announced as
! superior in numbers and dramatic strength
to any that has previously supported him,

Cdd Fellows Hall.--The engagement Of
Markos, which begins Monday evening at
Odd Fellows Hall, promises to be very sue
cessful. He Is one Of the best-known hyp-
notists and mesmerists on the road, and
has scored instantaneous success wherever
he has appeared. He does not claim to be a
spiritualist, and does many tricks by sleight
of hand that others claim to be done with
the aid Of supernatural power. Besides the
hypnotism and mesmerism he introduces
cabinet tricks and various other works of
magic, which never fail to catch his audi
ence. He duplicates a great many of the
feats of the mediums who are travelling
at the present time, and introduces into all
his wonderful power of hypnotism. He Is
assisted by the Williams Trio an English
family of musical wonders, who ran for
over three hundred nights at the Crystal
Palace in London.

Midsummer Nights Dream Saturday
evening, Tanning the Shrew." Miss Re-
hans triumph as star has been complete.
No actress has struggled harder, worked
more faithfully or more conscientiously
than has she. What she has achieved and
what she is are due to her artistic work in
the theater, for her manager has persist
emily refused to give her the benefit-if it
really be a benefit in the long run-of SEN
sational advertising.
A Successful Tour-The tour of Charles
B. Hanford of this city, Elihu r. Spencer
and Nora O'Brion has thus far proved a
gratifying success. The company has been
doing phenomenal business in all the towns
visited since its opening at Wilmington,

praised for their work.
