     “It must therefore be a matter of pleasure to the public to know that one day of the week he will hereafter break the “run” of his immediate triumphs by playing something else than the individual hero in that triumph. Today, for instance, (at 1 o’ clock,) “Ruy Blas” will be produced for the first time in three years, and hereafter other works will be brought out equally interesting to the public. In “Ruy Blas” Mr. Booth has the valuable cooperation of Miss Rose Eytinge, who is undoubtedly the best actress—in her line—on the stage. The performance in every respect is most interesting.”
