' NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 | There was quite large audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening to wit
 ness the first appearance of MT. Robert Downing as 'FMarc Antony" in Shakespeare's
 "Julius Cesar" The very favorable impress sion made by this talented young actor in his | impersonation of "Spartacus'' has gained for | him many friends in this city and his master | ly performance last evening won him many | more. The role of ''Marc Antony is most ' difficult and trying one It requires power \ ful physique and long and patient study. One must be student and lover of Shake speare as well as an actor of rare powers to | successfully portray it. It is young mans part, but the young man who attempts it | must possess real merit and good deal of it. MT. Downing showed last night that he has | all these requirements. His ''Marc Antony has the enthusiasm and vigor of youth the physique of true Roman and yet @ close observer could discern that every line had been carefully considered. With such splendid natural powers and by means of the really hard study he is evidently giving to the char | actors he assumes this young actor will very 1 soon find himself in the very foremost ranks \ of the worlds tragedians. The supporting l company was very good one. The roles of l Brutus and Cassius, made fam ous by Booth ! and Davenport and Barrett, are generally | thankless ones for stock actors to assume,
