Rhea as "Adrienne."
Buffalo ES ening News.


Scribe's charming play of "Adrienne," pro-
duced by Modjeska on her last visit, was sue
cessfully given at the Academy of Music last
evening to large and fashionable audience.
1t was The second appearance OF the French
actress, Mile REca, and her 1ne company,
and the favorable impression already created
was strengthened In those who saw camille"
Thursday night. The stars success was phe-
nomenal, and she made very decided hit In
the character of AdTienHo LecOuUFeui, the
actress. Itis part that furnishes plenty OF
scope 10 test her ability and power In
dramatic way, and when We repeat that
Rhea's success was extraordinary anu In
stantaneous the high compliment will be ap.
preciated. II would indeed be singular If she
did not triumph, with nll her pronounced
beauty, grace, taste and artistic power. She
had an audience that would inspire any
actress, particularly n stranger and foreigner,
but she Is too much of an artistic TO seek assist
ance outside, as was demonstrated Thursday
evening when she played to light audience
and won them by sheer strength and Natures
endowments. However Rhea no doubt ap-
preciates the compliment OF "a large audience,
but we actually believe she would
she did last evening. She gave q
performance that has never been surpassed
for It's thoroughly enjoyable and satisfactory
character. From beginning 70 end she was
enthusiastically applauded, and It came with
such vigor and spontaneous ring as 10 be
decidedly refreshing. II Is long time since
an actress has created such an impression on
Buffalo audience. Even the most critical
were captivated, and applauded TO the echo.
We question II there ever vas an actress com,
pllmented with more numerous aud marked
| demonstrations of popular approval. She
was called out after each act and once In
tho middle OF an act 1t was an eventful
/ and memorable night in the career OF the fair
| Rhea, and II is safe 70 say she will always
| have pleasant recollections OF the Queen City
ortho Lakes. We predict that her beauty aud
| talent Will cause furore wherever shO goes,
| and before she sets sail for sunny France M
| the completion Of her American tour, her
| praises win be sounded far and wide in Amer.
| lea. She Is one OF the greatest
| as Wen as most beautiful tragedlennes
OF the age, and it Will be
| found ont soon enough. Mile Rhea wore one
OF the loveliest toilets last evening that we ever
saw. II was unique, striking, and worn with
| becoming grace. She was admirably sup
| ported by Mr.. Newton Gotthold, as Maurice;
| Mr. Edwin Varroy, as Mich0Ret; Miss Isabel
| Morris, as the Princes, and others.
Mile Rhea. Will appear at Ford's Opera
| House on Monday next.

posed to-day In the Washington dispatches Of

Dorsey and Brady are not prosecuted, but

contention of the World that simple fair play

In every other case, great portion OF the
correspondence between Dorsey and General
Garfield has already seen the light, with the
effect of convincing most impartial men that
General Garfield must either have believed in
the innocence of Dorsey or been conscious
or condoning partner in any guilt which can
be brought home TO Dorsey. formcl letter,
written by Dorsey TO President Garfield on the
9th of May, 1881, which the World this morn
ing publishes, leaves no room for escape
from one or tho other OF these
conclusions. In this letter Dorsey
specifically and energetlcally demanded an
Investigation into his conduct. President
Garfield declined to press any such investga-
