THE EVENING NEWS.

The OPERA HousE.-Last evening, on
the occasion of the farewell benefit to Mr..
Pauncefort from Virginia audience, the
Opera House was honored with the pres
ence of an appreciatiye audience Of ladies
and gentlemen. who were highly pleased
with the entertainment. if long and hearty
applause be any criterion. Mr.. Paunce-
fort appeared as John Mildmay in the
sterling comedy of Still Waters Kun
Deep" What shall we say Of the imper-
sonaUion: Simply the truth. Mr.. Paunce-
fort certainly played the qu!et, but shrewd
character of Mildmty last night better
than we have ever seen any piece played
st the Virginia Opera House. His con-
ception of the author was almost perfect,
and never actor had more apprecianve au-
dience. The support was somewhat
faulty; bur Stevenson's Hawksley was
far above the average standard. as was
also Miss Hinckley's Mrs. Midmay. At
the close of the piece Mr.. Pauncefort
was called before the curtain. and in a
neat speech returned sincere thanks to
MS frinds Of both press and public, and
although regretting that a contemporary
had insisted upon "tarring and festhering
his reputation he yet hoped for the kind
wishes of his indulgent friends. Unques-
tiUnably Mr.. Pauncefort IS both gentle
man and finished member of the historic
profession. above the slurs of any party
who has been gulled by the saddle of
pecuinary patronage.
