| ADJUSTMENTS. "Quo Vards," the great
religious play which is to be presented at
Belfast Opera House on Oct 10th, is every
where meeting with the most pronounced
success Like the novel, it is described as
being exceedingly beautiful, and, like
Shakespeare's works, must be closely fol
lowed to be thoroughly enjoyed. The intro
duction of the Lords Prayer on the stage
by playwright is bold attempt and
novel feature, but the dramatizer has so
surrounded it with scene of soemnity
that its recital appears most beautiful and
appropriate It is universally admitted
that it is impossible for anyone to sit through
performance of this great play and not
feel better for having witnessed it,. When
the curtain rises on ''The County Fair
which, with Neil Burgess himself as Abigail
Prue will be presented in this city shortly,
a series of New England pictures is revealed.
These pictures can scarcely be surpassed
and have the effect of absolute truth. Neil
Burgess as Abigail Prue takes firm hold
on the audience from the first and never
relinquishes it until the end. His comedy
and quaint human nature simply take the
spectators by storm. The Village Post
master was given in the Belfast Opera House
Tuesday evening, and was disappointment
to the small audience. The play was funny,
but was nditferently presented.
