103BUFFALO BILL AT THE ACADEMY. The story of Monday night at the Academy was repeated last night. A house so crowded that hundreds failed to gain admittance, and an audience wholly captured by the remarkably effective performance of Mr. Cody and his company, attested the hold he has acquired upon the affections of Cleveland theater-goers. To-day he gives a matinee, as well as an evening performance, and it may go without saying that both will draw crowded audiences. It is folly to moralize upon Mr. Cody's plays and his playing. He has captured the popular heart, knows how to keep it, and if that is not an actor's "business" we know not what that business is. On Thursday night at the Academy Mr. Gus Williams opens with Wanted, a Carpenter. This is a pure play, with an interesting story and a bright dialogue -- a play far ahead of many of those which occupy the modern stage, full of good points with much of commendable dramatic element. The Professor's umbrella, which Mr. WIlliams unfolds, is said by our contemporaries everywhere to be full of wonders and of mirth, never failing to "bring down the house" every time it is unfolded. | 103BUFFALO BILL AT THE ACADEMY.
