AMERICAN THEATRE.-A strong and attractive
bill is put forward for tonight calling into action
Mr. and Mrs. Conner and the whole strength of
the company Milman's tragedy of Fazio'' will
be performed for the first time this season, as also
the popular drama of " Wallace besides which,
there win be concert by the " Sable Melodists."
Tomorrow night the complimentary benefit will
be given to Mr. Place, and we do not hesitate in
predicting that the American will on this occasion
be crowded to its utmost capacity. Mr.. Place well
deserves any amount Of encouragement for the
spirited manner in which he has, for several sea-
sons, conducted this establishment sparing pains
or expense in his endeavors to crafty the public
taste with every species Of amusement which could
be considered worthy the public patronage; and,
while the ladies and gentlemen of the company
show this fattering mark of respect to their en-
ployer, it is fair to presume that his numerous
friends will gladly avail themselves of this oppOr
tunity to prove to Mr.. Place how much he is es-
teemed by the public at large, who are not insen-
sible to his claims upon their substantial approba
ton. The entertainments of the evening will be
the play Of the " Hunchback" and the comedy of
Married Life,' the casts of which include Mr..
Conner, Mr.. Jamison, Mr.. Grattan, Mr.. Greene,
Mr.. Charles Mrs. Pope, Miss Petrie, and the whole
strength of the company. The Sable MelOdsts"
will also appear.
