B.A. A.-The entertainment given
bv the Belmont Dramatic Association a
School Hall, on Friday evening last, was
an entire success, both in point of meri-
torious acting, and in drawing a large and
appreciative audience. We don't remem-
Der of ever having attended an entertain.
ment in Bellaire at which better order
was observed, or more attentive and
highly pleased audience were gathered
together. The plot of the play, "Ro-
nance and Reality, or The Young Vir-
pinian, is well conceived and captivates
and enhances the attention from the be-
ginning to the close; while II vein Of hui
NOR runs through the whole play, at pro-
per intervals, that affords sufficient vare
tv TO please all teastes. The different
characters were happily chosen; in fact,
each seemed specially adapted to the
mart which was sustained with vim and
naturalness, that would have been credi-
table even to professionals. We
cannot attempt any special mention,
"a to merit, as in our opinion, the several
parts were sustained with nearly equal
ability; and the members OF the troupe
can congratulate themselves that their
efforts we're appreciated by the action Of
the audience in unanimously requesting
the entertainment to be repeated on
Tuesday evening next. Just before the
closing scene, Prof Melville, on behalf
of the Association, announced that they
would repeat the entertainment for the
benefit of the poor of the city if the
audience desired, which they did, as
above stated, and we hope to see School
Hall packed to its utmost capacity on
Tomorrow Digit. Here is an opportu-
nitv afforded the charitably inclined to
aid the needy and suffering, and at the
same time receive feast of intellectual
endowment in return Let every person
in our city who has heart to sympathlze
with the sutferings Of the poor and I'M
fortunate, on whom the world has cast its
frowns instead ofsmiles, attend this enter
tainment given for their benefit. Cast
your bread upon the waters, and it shall re-
turn after many days" A committee will
be appointed to receive the proceeds, and
distribute them where they will accom-
plish the most good.
