TIE BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUsrc.-Mr. Edwin
Booth made bis first appearances before Brooklyn
audience on Tuesday evening in bis great role Of
Echeeu and was vell received. The first three acts
passed o rather tamely, the audience appearing cold
and unappreciaiive with the single exception Of the
scene in which the Cardinal repeats the phrase The
pen is mightier than the sword and Take
away the sword-Sta,es can be saved without it,
which were greeted with hearty and deserved
applause. Tie fourth aud fifth acts, upon which
he interest Of the piece centers, were finely
rendered. and the manifestations ~of tie audience
were nmis,akeable. The scene where Rcheieu
threatens " launch the ma'edic:ions Of Rome upon
Baradas was grandly effective, and elected long con.
tinued demonstrations Of appreciation. Mr.. Booth
was well supported by Mrs. Julia Bennett Barrow

curtain. Tie house was well flled-uearly every
seat in the dress circle and parquet being occupied,
while the family circle contained goody number.
There il every indication that the two remaining
nerformances Of Mr.. Booth will be even more numer-
ously attended than the first. Tonight he will ap-
rear in two great characters, both tragedy aud
comedy, as Sir Edward Mortimer In the Iron Chest,
and aro az Pe.ruehie in Katherine end Petrachio,
