LAST NIGHT OF LEAH AT BOOTHS.

| LAST NIGHT OF LEAH AT BOOTHS.
| "Leahn was acted last night in presence OF
O very numerous audience, at Booths Theater. The
announcement OF the last nights OF this popular
drama has had the natural effect OF stimulating anew
the public interest OF the most conspicuous dra
matte successes of the day. Those who last evening
| braved the storm were amply repaid. Miss Batemar
acted with uncommon fire and vgor In the passionate
scenes and with unusual tenderness IN the love scenes
in the pathetic passage that shows the Injured wo
mans forgiyng fortitude Her delivery Of the mpreca
cation in the churchyard awoke the enthusiasm OF the
audience an extraordinary degreeso that the actress
twice called before the curtain The other players
seemed likewise moved by the glowing spirit
| OF the occasion, and "Leah" was oven
| better acted ON it's last night than on
Its first, four weeks ago. We were especially Impressed
by the fe spirit and vivid effect Of the several abeaux
in the piece. also by the elaborate richness OF the
scenery and the fecous sweetness and appropriateness
the incidental music These elements alone would
repay the attention of the Sudlous spectator were there
no higher elements of dramatic excellence IN the repre-
sentation At todays Matinee "Leah" will be given for
the last time The house should be crowded The public
owes to itself less than to the claims OF pure and
dramatic art that performances OF THIS order
should be handsomely sustained and amply encouraged
