assisted by his wife, gave a performance of miraculous feats at the
Academy of Music Aug. 27. When the performance was over, a man step-

hall and explain how it was done. The audience was skeptical at first;
but after receiving sufficient proof, they knew he spoke the truth.
"It is to be hoped that this revelation will open the eyes of the
people to the manifold impostures and humbuggeries which the Fays and
others are palming off on them. Let them no longer be deceived." (24)

Academy of Music. It had great success in England as well as here. Mrs.
Ellsler, as "Mary Edwards" surpassed herself. Mr. Ellsler as "Hawkshaw,
the detective" added fresh laurels to his fame. The house was crowded.
A successful run is predicted. (6)

2118 - L June 30:4/4, 5 - At the Academy of Music, Mrs. Bradshaw's benefit
the TICKET OF LEAVE MAN is meeting with tremendous success. A crowded
house greeted its third rendition, and delight was expressed at the manner
in which it was put upon the stage. Mr. McCollom as "Robert Brierly" ex-
cels himself in the fidelity of conception and spiritedness of rendition.
Mr. Ellsler's "John Ilawkshaw" displays a suppressed but intense power. Mr.
Lewis, as "Sam Willoughby" is very natural and very funny. (6)

2120 - H July 5: 1/3 - C. Busch, treasurer of the Academy of Music, takes
his first benefit in two years, tomorrow.
The position of treasurer at the theater is one of considerable labor
and frequently calls for a great exercise of patience and self sacrifice.
Mr. Busch has worked hard during his connection with Mr. Ellsler, and has
contributed in no considerable degree to the success of the establishment.
The attendance at the benefit should be overwhelming. (2)

2128 - L. Dec. 21:4/3 - The great spectacular drama, ALADDIN, produced
for the first time in many years at the Academy of Music, was very success-
ful. The audience was more enthusiastic over it than a Clevelard audience
has ever been over any other play. Mr. Ellsler as the dumb slave, "Kasrac,"
exhibited pantomimic power that might be ranked in the first order of comedy
acting. The piece contains the unique and original Chinese umbrella dance.
