ADJUSTMENTS.

"Qou Fadis' was admirably presented
at the Academy last night by large and
capable company. Whitney & Knowles
always mount their productions in Sumpt-
uous style, and every little detail is care
fully looked after. The dramatization bys
Stansaus Strange is the best stage YER
sion in use, and the Incidental music by
Julian Edwards deserves special mention.
The cast is so large that it is useless to
mention the individual members. 1t is Il
well-balanced cast. and the ensemble is
excellent. The play is intensely interest
ing, and one that proves thoroughly en-
joyable to everyone. The applause was
frequent and hearty last night
There will be two performances to-day,
matinee and evening.
STRONG BILL AT BIJOU.
II You want to laugh until your sides
aches go to see Mrs. b. O.Shaughnessey''
(Wash-La6y) at the Bijou this week. 1t
is the funniest play seen in Richmond for
years. and there is no question of the
supremacy of George w. Monroe as an
Irish woman. The Russell Brothers are
no. in his class. No matter ii some of his
antics are absurd. YOU are bound to
laugh. While he is on the stage the
paroxysms OF laughter are so frequent
that they seem continuous. Even the
most sedate are apt to forget their dig
nit. and laugh until the tears roll down
their checks. It would take columns to
tel. how funny he is.
Another tremendous hit was made by
Anna Kenwick. She sang two coon songs
as they have never been sung in Rich
mond before. It was most delightful
eEperiece to sit in front and Tor the first
time realize what an artist can do with
a coon song. MSS Kenwick is nothing if
not original in her methods. As II that
were not enough, she followed tine songs

and Leila Mcintyre were nearly as popu-

especially pleasing in several child SONGS.
