ADJUSTMENTS.
Exceptional Programme at the Grand
Opera House.

a critical New York audience could find
little fault with this weeks vaudeville pro-
gramme at the Grand. If Manager Myers
continues 10 bring such performers TO the
city he now has on his bill he may con-
fdently expect 10 see the theater filled at
every performance to the end of the sea-
son. Yesterday afternoon almost every seat
in the house was occupied and the adj
mirable behavior of the audience indicated
that much better class of patronage
had been drawn than was present a week
ago y firSt-Of-the-week performance has
not proceeded so smoothly and enjoyably
thus far this season. Camille DArvilie the
beautiful operate star with the glorious
soprano voice, was, naturally, the princi-
pal attraction of the performance. Miss
ID Arville, ii seemed, never sang more de-
hghtfully or with greater sympathetic
power than yesterday afternoon. Melody
of the most enhancing kind fairly poured
from her throat Her numbers were Until
j Reach That Golden Shore" Sadie" and
The Holy City" In the last number Miss
ID Arville made all who had attempted the
selection in this city previously seem mere
novices in the art of singing. When she fin
fshed the audience settled itself back in
the seats and began to applaud in a style
of peculiar determination that seemed to
say, Keep on, you may complete the pro-
gramme for us if you will, But superla-
lively excellent was Miss ID ArVilles
singing, many other features of the bill
