jefferson Mt the Academy.

Joseph Jefferson's connection with the
stage extends over a period OF sixty
years. When he was a boy, about 9
years old. his family moved to Chicago,
then a little town Of about 1900 inhabi-
tants. That was in 1893. His father
became manager Of theatre there. and
I'm that capacity became acquainted with
Abraham Lincoln. a religious revival
took place. and the enthusiasts took
umbrage at the theatre, and got the
city 10 pass a new law enjoining a heavy
license against the theatre. Abraham
Lincoln, then only a young lawyer,
thought that was injustice, and argued
the case before the Council with such
ability and humor that the tax was
taken off.
Mr. jefferson comes to the Academy Of
Music ON April 18Th and 18th.
