The numerous warm personal friends
of Mr.. Sam. r. Glenn, manager and pro-
prietor of our theatre, who admire him
for his fine social qualities as much as
for the energy and determination he has
displayed in the establishment in this
city of a first class place of amusement,
desire to tender him a complimentary
benefit on Tuesday evening next. They
trust that the people generally will take
the matter in hand, and do all in their
power to make it most substantial COM
pliment. Mr.. Glenn deserves much of
this community. His theatre istheo only
place of resort we have, and it should be
better supported than it is. Norfolk can
not expect to become a town OF impor.
lance unless it offers some other at
fractions aside from trade to induce peo-
