ACADEMY or Music. rendition OF
schiller's great play of "The Robbers, -
with Mexican Buchanan as Charles De
Moor, and his beautiful and talented
daughter, Miss Virginia Buchanan, as Ame-
liza, ct the Academy of Music, last night, de-
served to draw a larger house than was
present. 1t was excellently given, the
whole drama, the lesser as well as the lead
ing parts, being admirable. In the after
piece Mr.. Lewis gained his usual quantunV
of laughter and applause.
This evening will be produced that very
successful sensational drama, "The octo-
room" A large audience will undoubtedly
be present.
Tomorrow evening Miss Virginia Bueh-
anan takes a benefit. On that occasion
"Pizarro" and "The Colleen Bswn" will
be produced.
The great and remarkably successful
drama "Waiting for the Verdict" which
has created 50 great sensation in New
York and other Eastern cities, is in active
preparation and will be brought out on
Monday evening. Concerning its rendi-
tion by Mr.. and Miss. Buchanan, the Phil
adelphia Daily Inquirer. says
'Waiting for the Verdict has proved a
capital card for this house, and it will be
played nightly until further notice. 1t Is
capital drama of domestic char acter,
and is one of the most interesting of that
description of plays our theatre goers have
been treated to in long time"
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-11-24

EDITORS LEADER: The fault now being
found with the Cleveland Library Associa-
ton, on the above subject, reminds one of
the donkey story, in which the old man
and his son endeavored in every way to
please the public. First, the old man rode
alone, then the son alone, then both togeth-
er, and, finally, they carried the donkey
but all without success, the lockers on
lOould grum5ls. So it now is with some of
the Cleveland papers and people. The Lii
brary Association have always endeavored
to please the public, and never harder than
now, as was very lucidly shown by Mr..
Tuttle's letter the other day. Yet, in spite
of all this, "SeasOn Ticket" and a few
other grumblers, are determined not to be
satisfied. Now, to my mind, and to that of
every one who would reflect few moments,
the matter of reserved seats appears per-
fectly just and fair toward all parties, un-
der the present arrangement, which is. as
understand it, as follows:
War prices now rule. Everything costs
more than formerly, and it is obvious that
lectures should follow the same rule. Con-
sequently, had the Library Association
charged double the price for season tickets,
ard fifty cents, instead of twenty-five, for
single tickets, l0ithOlt Preserved seats"
there could have been no just cause of com
plant. But, for the sake ofpLeGSinq all, the
Association have inaugurated double sys-
TEN, viz the old price and the new.
Ny season ticket, for two, costs me
$500, or just fifteen cents per lecture, and
for twenty-five cents extra, can get re-
served seat, costing me, in all, but forty
cents, or ten cenis below what I might be
fairly charged. Surely have no cause to
complain. If | wish a good seat, all I
have got to do is to step into Brainard's
and secure one, but if am 30 very "poor"
that can only pay fifteen cents for fifty
cent entertainment, why then should be
willing to take my chances up stairs or
outside of the reserved seats. Or if take
no season ticket, and care to aid the assoei-
alton only occasionally, when I shall be
particularly grati6ed in hearing favor
ite or "star" lecturer, even then ticket
costs me but thirty cents, and a reserved
seat twenty-five cents, making but fifty
Eve cents. Cheap enough, and can save
an hours time, which nowadays, even to
"poor man" is worth Ger ainly FIVE cents,
