Halevy's "Jewess" was given last night by
the German Opera Troupe. The performance was in
no sense brilliant one, but it in most respects
satisfactory. Mime. Pappenheim made finished and
sufficiently dramatic Rachel, and Mile Human was
careful and smooth the Princes Eudorio. Mr..
Adams sang well Eiea=at and did some better acting
than he has yet shown ON the boards OF the Academy
