Leon & Cushman

- compiny, now at the Academy of M usic in the great musical oomedy, " On the Stage," have had a very succeasful lun. The company comprises 12 first elass artists. They have made a tour of the world, and in Australia they created q;i'e a furore. At Honolulú, Sandwich Islands, they performed nine nights to crowded houses, and were honored wilh the presence of King Kalakua and suite at each performance. These royal gentlemen bestow upon the artists nuany favors. Mr. Frank Cushman is a Baltimore boy. He was born in the eighth ward, but was never connected in any way with political disputes or diflerenees, so often noted in that locality. He was a first elags minstrel and was connected with the beat troupes, but abandoned burnt cork to enter the comedy field, in Tfhich has scored a success. Mr. Francis Leon is a native of New York jity He gtudied for the Catholic mÍD8try, but displaying a talent of another order, adopted the stage as a protession. He is consideredoneof the best delineatarg of témale characier now before the public, paiticularly in the line of the "Modern Society Girl," in which he has no superior. This afternoon a "rosebud" matinee will be given, cd each lady will be pre. with a prelty bouquet oí artificial fluwers as a souvenir.
