nIcHMosD, MAY 49, II is our painful
Office to announce the death of John w.
Green, esq. formerly the manager Of the
Richmond and southern theatres, and
lately performer ON thcir boards. Ii
adds TO the melancholy attendant on such
annunciation, that Mr.. Green hurried his
dissolution by the use OF laudanum. He
was a man of fine cnsibilities-aDd una
BILE to bear up against the Affections to
which he wa. subjected. But there is
not one who will trace in these lines the
fall of a man of genius and gentleman,
that will not lament his melancholy fate.
John w. Green was, in the line OF his
profession, endowed with some Of the
finest qualifications. His person was
elegant--his face digni6ed and handsome
his voice susceptible Of hne modula-
tion--his Judgment ripe-he had tho
genius to enter into the conceptions OF
lis author and the Physical power to
express them. He was formerly capa-
bis Of filing wide range Of characters
land while in the zenith Of his youth
and activity. has exhibited some OF the
most striking characters Of the drama,
with truth and effec, which have rarely
ZEN eqnailed. He was the delight OF
his friends the object OF public respect
the pride Of his profession, when the
memorable night of the Goth of Decem-
Der, 1911, reduced the Richmond thea.
tire 10 ashes and with it the lovely daugh~
ter and the best hopes Of Mr.. Green -
Since that disastrous era, his fortunes
have been overcast---he has struggled
agains, his visitatiops-but a, last the
man sunk under them.
| AS man, his temper was so even
his manners so elegant and polite-his
conversation so informed and interesting,
that he attracted sincere and general
esteem. Comhitcr.
