Mond. 20 Pleasant—Rehearsal A.M. Reading & studying P.M. at Theatre 7 P.M. 1st appearance of Julia Dean—house full—receipts over $900 She is a great favorite in this city—it was here began her Theatrical career began,—here she was fostered and, indeed, made what she is. I am not one of her most enthusiastic admirers. Her personal appearance, which is beautiful, has done more to promote her success than any talent she may possesses—Hunchback was the opening play.
