On Monday Miss Rose Wood appears in
this charming piece. Our readers can
judge of the caracter of play and acting,
from the following:
Charming Rose Wood, as she has sbeen
ftly named, made her appearance last
evening before one Of the largest and GER
tainly the most select audience we have
seen in the academy in long time She
came here with great reputation, and
most certainly did not belle it. for more
magnificent performance of Alex Dumas
masterpiece it has never been our lot to
witness. In our opinion, as Camille,
Rose Wood completely outacts Matilda
Heron, who is said to have created the
character. Her dsath scene was one OF
the grandest pieces of dramatic art Cleve
land has seen in years; in fact her whole
performance may be termed superb. Two
enthusiastic calls before tie curtain told
of the audiences entire satisfaction.
The support of Lewis Morrison fine
company helped materially to the success
of the evening.
Mr.. Morrison is one of the best Armand:
on the stage. and his impersonation was
enthusiastically received. Mrs. j. Il
Irving, as Madame Prudence, made a de.
cided hit and caused intense amuse me0t
| Her appetite was something horrible tC
| behold Pretty Laura Craig, as Nanine,
was most highly satisfactory, as was J E.
Irving, Mrs. Josephine Craig, and Misses
Dell and Coon played their parts well.-
