COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"U and - at the Academy" Out of
Sight" at the Theatre.


The regular season Of the Academy will
open with Messrs. Gus Williams and John
4. Kelly in their entirely new musical
satire entitled az and L." The engage
ment commences Wednesday evening, sep
TENDER 10TH and will continue for the bal
ance of the week. The comedy is IN three
acts, by Edgar smith and Richard +. Car
roll. and contains many funny situations,
besides much new music and original
dances. Gus Williams (as Prof John
Ungerbloiz, a German music teacher) and
John 7. Kelly las O'DOnOyan lines, an
Irish aristocrat) are the star roles, and
their many mistakes and tribulatiOns are a
source OF great merriment. Messrs, Will
liams and Kelly have an excellent OppOr-
tunity 10 display their talents, and Mr.
Williams introduces his inimitable piano
solos, for which he is much noted. Miss
FlOrrie West, an importation from England,
who sustains the sOubrette role, is reported
70 have made an emphatic hit in the part by
her singing. dancing, and acting. The four
Legion sisters, also engaged in. England,w
introduce for the first time in America their
novel Eifiel-TOwer dance, which is, in its
way, decided sensation. A scenic sur
prise will be the rOOi-garden episode, which
occurs In the third act. Manager Hermann
has surrounded Messrs. Williams and
Kelly with "a clever company OF comedians,
and reports from Boston and Washington,
where the company have been playing, are
most favorable. Seats will be on sale TO-
morrow (MOnday) morning.
Frank McNish, the famous minstrel, has
deserted the burnt-cork ranks, and makes
his first bow in white-face comedy In America
at the Richmond Theatre Tuesday evening
next. The play (which he appears enjoys
the title of "Out Of Sight Ii is said 10 be
deviation from the usual stereOtyped style
Of force comedies, hilari0usly funny, and
embodies some ideas in characterization,
scenic and mechanical effect entirely new
TO the stage. Laughter is the object in-
tended, without resort TO cOarseness. The
comedy In plot deals with beautiful Young
girl, who suddenly becomes the p0ssess0r OF

Nish) makes violent love 10 her, and is re-
pulsed. BY the aid of several disguises he
manages o. continue his suit, and by dis
gushing the hciress with the snob arts
tocracy and fortune hunters, finally wins
her hand. An clio Of refined specialize
songs, dances, popular music, and McNish's
celebrated act, "silence and Fun, are in
terpolated. The company includes several
American and English fayorites, Josie Cas-
sell (American debut, Bessie Taylor, Lucy
