 LEAH THE FoRsAKEN.
 The opening performance of "Leah the Forsaken' at the New Haven Opera House last evening very different affair from the first performance Of sRomeo and Juliet" last Monday evening. The play the ability of the company, and had been better rehearsed. The pronpter did not take open part in it's rendering, and the scenery did not duct itself so inappropriately and recklessly. The duty it to die died decently and in order. On the wnole therefore, though the insufnciency and deficiencies of the company painfully apparent, "Leah' was passably well given. Miss Cummings has in Leah" part which she is much better fitted for than she Is for 'Juiet" and from her entrance upon the stage pursued by the Jew hating villagers, until her death in the arms of ''Rudolph' and Mad elina' acted with consistency and power She spoke her lines skifully and for the most part with good emphasis In the scene where ssRudolph' spurns her and her love under the impression that she has ac- cepted the gold which was to buy her rejection of him. and also in the scene where she discovers Ru- dolphs' marriage, and curses him for not having faith in and being true to her, she impressive In the last scene, when she flies for refuge to t'Madelina and Rudolph," and afterwards struggles with and overcones her desire to kill Nathan" she acted with skill force The audience showed it's appreciation of her efforts by frequent applause and ond third and fourth acts. MT. DeVernon, who took the part of Nathan" an aposate), was satisfactory and looked and 5chemed like a true villain. His soliloquy concerning his dream that his mask was torn of, and that he exposed in his true charac ter to his enemies, good bit of work, and he M. Mccormack made fair "Rudolph," though he too stiff in his movements, and Mr. Arm strong ssLorenz' also did fairly well MT. J. H. Burnett quite amusing as the doctor and barber, though not 50 amusing as was MT. Murray, who took ths part of "Abraham" Murray had little to say and slain before the most serious part of the proceedings Of the female characters, sMadelina," by Miss Lizzie lngles (the urse in "Romeo and Juliet'3, was the best. Miss Ingles seemed to know her part thoroughly. and her tectug, especially in the where "Leah" seeks her protection, was meritorious Miss Helen keim- as "Rosel acceptable, and little Jennie Hap good did what she had to do very well. 'Ieah will be kept on until further notice, and there will be matinee Saturday afternoon.
