AT THE THEATRES.

The return to the Academy next Satur-
day OF Mr.. Joseph Jefferson is always
esteemed one of the chief attractions of
the theatrical season, an event not only
gladly welcomed, but joyously- antict-
pated The highest critical authority in
America long ago freely assigned to Mr..
Jefferson the foremost place in the list
of comedians. That position he has held
undisputed and without a rival, and his
successor has not yet shown himself
above the theatrical horizon. The YER

the public with frequency and enthusl-
assn. Honored and loved in private life,
respected even to veneration by his fell
low players, admired by every lover of
what is best, truest and noblest in dra-
matte art, Mr.. Jefferson may well feel
that his life of conscientiousness enables
i. to be truthfully said that in this in
