Named Entity Results, Ida Vernon

Benefit of Miss Ida Vernon. --The performances at the Theatre to-night are set apart for the benefit of Miss Ida Vernon, a talented young lady, attached to the corps dramatique of that establishment, ranking next in the order of talent and effectiveness to the "leading lady." Her renditions of character during the season have been characterized by that finish that denotes the student, and she should be rewarded for her efforts to please.--We trust that her many friends will bear the occasMiss Ida Vernon, a talented young lady, attached to the corps dramatique of that establishment, ranking next in the order of talent and effectiveness to the "leading lady." Her renditions of character during the season have been characterized by that finish that denotes the student, and she should be rewarded for her efforts to please.--We trust that her many friends will bear the occasion in that acceptable remembrance which is best shown at such a time by a prompt attendance. The bill for to-night includes the new drama of the "Woman in White," (dramatized from Wilkie Collins' Novel,) the play of "Andy Blake," (the chief character by the fair beneficiary,) dancing by Mary Partington, and a new overture by Rosenberger, chief de orchestre. If such a bill does not draw, we are mistaken.

Comedy of Self. --Mrs. Bateman's excellent comedy, which was performed with great success at the Richmond Theatre a few years since, will be produced to-night. Miss Bateman appears as "Mary Apex," Mr. Bateman as "John Unit," and Mr. T. L. Moxley as "Aunt Chloe." This is an assurance that the play will be well performed; but in addition, the general cast of characters has been judiciously made, including Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. De Bar, Miss Ida Vernon, Messrs. Meldrum, Bailey, Warwick, &c. The incidents of this play are irresistibly humorous, and it is admitted everywhere to be the best portrayal of American peculiarities ever placed upon the stage. It has been for some time in preparation at our Theatre, and its production will be distinguished by all the merit of stage and scenic effect in the ample resources of the establishment. We well remember the enjoyment the comedy of "Self" imparted to our citizens four winters ago, and we anticipate a renewal of the pleasure on this occ

ts in its light, smooth, racy dialogue, which amuses the listener throughout, yet never offends. The character of Hester Grazebrook is one in which uncommon spirit and confidence are required to produce an effect; and we are sustained by many excellent judges in the opinion that it was splendidly rendered by Miss Gougenheim. In the last act, where she turns the tables upon her artful rival, and brings about a happy denouement, the audience seemed absolutely carried away with delight. Miss Ida Vernon played the part of Mrs. Montressor with a correct appreciation of its meaning, and Mr Howe is entitled to the same compliment for the manner in which he rendered that of Sir Harry Arncliffe. Indeed, the play was well presented in every respect, and we need only add, that those who were absent from the Theatre on Wednesday night, missed an entertainment of rare excellence. To-night "Miss Joey" takes a benefit, and will appeal in the drama entitled "The Doom of Deville" That she will be

Richmond theatre. --We are enabled to state that an arrangement has been effected through which the people of Richmond will have an opportunity of indulging their passion for dramatic entertainments during the fall and winter. The theatre, which is now undergoing some necessary improvements, will shortly be re-opened under the management of Prof. J. H. Hewitt, of this city. He is now engaged in securing the services of a good company, which will probably include Miss Ida Vernon, the Misses Partington, Mrs. De Bar, Miss Ella Wren, and other favorites of former days, with valuable accessions from the Southern States. Prof. Hewitt is thoroughly familiar with the popular taste in dramatic and musical matters, and we confidently look forward to an agreeable "season." It is his present intention to commence about the 1st of November.

Dramatic --The performance at the Theatre last night was for the benefit of the Hampton sufferers, which we consider a laudable proceeding on the part of the management.--The house is crowded every night, and we hear good opinions expressed of the manner in which Miss Wren, Mrs. De Bar, Messrs. Daiton, Warwick and Ogden, and some others, acquit themselves. On Monday night next, Miss Ida Vernon, a young lady of excellent accomplishments, will commence an engagement, which we prophecy will be a brilliant one.

Miss Ida Vernon. --This young lady, who was an acknowledged favorite of the Richmond public last winter, commences an engagement at the Theatre to night in the thrilling drama of Camille, founded on a popular romance by Dumas the younger. We have seen the character well played on several occasions, but never so well as by Miss Matilda Heron, to whom theatrical criticism has invariably awarded the palm. Miss Vernon, we are informed, has copied the style of that actress with complete succommences an engagement at the Theatre to night in the thrilling drama of Camille, founded on a popular romance by Dumas the younger. We have seen the character well played on several occasions, but never so well as by Miss Matilda Heron, to whom theatrical criticism has invariably awarded the palm. Miss Vernon, we are informed, has copied the style of that actress with complete success, and we anticipate much pleasure in witnessing her performance to-night. The play is otherwise well cast.

Theatre. --Despite the unfavorable state of the weather, the Theatre was crowded, last night, to witness Miss Ida Vernon's personation of Camille. A fine bill is offered for to-night.

out a first class performance, not previously tested, has been proved to the satisfaction of the "play- going public." The particular attraction of the week, Miss Ida Vernon, has successfully rendered the difficult roles of Camille, Madelaine, Lucy Ashton, and Margaret Elmore, and we congratulate this young lady upon the suspiciou were the presentation of a leading part, indifferent or faulty, there would be some in the auditory ready to manifest their disapprobation. As a general thing Miss Vernon has been well supported by the company — a new candidate for public favor (Mrs. Dalton) having been introduced this week, and happily received, while others hav out these faults, for where nature has denied to an individual even a spark of dramatic talent, criticism does no good, and as heretofore, with respect to the Richmond theatre especially, what can't be cured must be endured — Miss Vernon's benefit takes place to-night, and we anticipate the most brilliant audience of the seaso

himself to make it agreeable to visitors, and as the best method of promoting the peace and good order of the establishment has closed up the bar-rooms and put a stop to the sale of liquor. The performances on Wednesday night went off smoothly and without interruption, and we have reason to believe that there will be no cause for complaint hereafter. We have freely condemned what we thought deserved censure, but have no disposition to withhold praise where praise is due. It may not be in the power of the manager, under existing circumstances, to procure as good a stock company as the most exacting might desire, but if all do as well as they can, surely it is the part of a noble nature to make proper allowances. We invite attention to the entertainment provided for to-night, the occasion of Miss Ida Vernon's benefit. This young lady has succeeded remarkably well in her efforts during the past two weeks, and we doubt not that the audience will be well pleased with the performance.

Amusements --Miss Ida Vernon's successful engagement at the theatre terminates to-night. The unlimited patronage bestowed upon the establishment is a pretty good evidence of public approval, for we take it that the people would not continue to repeat their visits unless they were pleased with the performances. The French Zouaves at Franklin Hall are eminently deserving of patronage. Their entertainments are spicy, and conducted in an unexceptionable manner. We do not hesitate to commend them to the encouragement of the public.
