ADJUSTMENTS.

Among the most completely successful
plays which were seen on the New York
boards last year, was "a Colonial Cir" {"
a tale of old New York which was written
by Grace L. Furniss and Abby Sage
Richardson, and given to the public at
the New York Lyceum Theatre, where it
ran for long time to crowded and en-
thusiastic houses. From the very first
moment after the curtains rose il was
seen to be an overwhelming success. 1t
pleased and captivated the audience from
the start, deepening its appeal with each
successive climax, and the curtain went
down on perfect ovation to actors and
play. The atmosphere is one of romantic
comedy, with tinge of melodrama here
and there, and for background, the
patriotic events of the rise of the sons OF
rs. The scenes are beautiful, and show
beautiful colonial interior with stair.
case, clock, spinning. wheel, spinet and
ancient plate. "a Colonial Grip will
be seen here for the fast time on next
Monday night at the Grand Opsra
House.
