ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Many friends were delighted to greet their old friend, De Wolf Hopper, last night in the musical comedy, MT. Pick wick" but were slightly disappointed in his play.
 De Wolf Hopper was the same old ac- tor with number of new and 'eute' tricks, and he is backed by the best or ganization he has ever carried on the road There are but two weak spots in the splay, but they are very weak. MT. PickwIck" is heralded as a musical com edy, but it has little very catchy music, and therein lies the first weak point. There are, however, about four good mus ical pieces, and Miss Marion Field, as Arabella, the prima donna, spoiled two of these. She is not up to the standard set by the rest of the company
 The play is supposed to be based on some of Dickens greatest characters, and they bear the same names. Many of the lines and thoughts of Dickens are em- bodied in the piece.
 The chorus stands out as being well trained. but having little to do. It is allowed III the CnOfuS ol ScNeidl oohSSt but beyond that is idle behind the scenes. It is a pretty bevy of girls and people would like to see them oftener.
 The best musical numbers are Golden Rules" the opening song; the song and march, "Pickwicks Horse Brigade;" Dig by Bells Potato Song" and "Piggies," by Mr. Hopper and Polly, the dainty lit- tie soubrette
 Marguerite Clarke, a find of MT. Hop- per's, proved the star of the cast This dainty little girl Is a clever actress, has an excellent voice and is very graceful. She certainly fills the part, and there lies before her a future. Digby Bell, as Sam Weller, does the same clever work that has always characterized him, and his wife, Laura Joyce Bell, in the character of Mrs. Bardell did Some very good work She figures conspicuously in the leading comedy scenes.
 Of the other members of the cast, Louis Payne made a good Alfred Jingle; J. K. Adams was conspicuous in the part of MT. Wardle, and Guy Bartlett was given a few good chances to be funny as the fat boy. He was really clever.
 As a curtain call MT. Hopper recited his famous hit, Casey at the Bat" It was rendered in the same delightful manner as of old.
