ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Miss Emile Melville
closed her very successful engagement in
this city on Saturday evening, to a very
large audience. The drama called "The
Workmen of New York" was given its
second presentation, and was well received
At the close of the play Miss Melville was
called before the curtain and expressed her
gratitude for the favor shown her by the
Cleveland public. We are free to say that
no actress who has visited our city Tor a
long time succeeded in making a more
favorable impression upon the play-going
community, or one that will be more last
ing, than Miss Melville. There is a most
pleasing grace and artistic finish, entirely
freed from affectation, in her aetiag that
cannot fail to make her admired, while the
freshness of youth and a handsome face and
figure are strong auxiliaries to success.
Miss NJ. goes hence to Columbus, and we
cordially wish her the success there that
her merits deserve.
Tonight the well-known tragedian, Mr..
Joseph Proctor, commences an engagement
at the Academy opening with the fine
tragedy of " virginius"-the master piece
of Sheridan Knowles. MI. Proctor is an
actor of sterling merit, and one of the few
remaining representatives. of the old school
"V~irginius" is a character in which he
excels, and a full house should greet him
tonight. A new farce entitled "seeine
Irving will conclude the performance.
