This Evening, and perhaps for the last time but one, our play goers will have an opportunity of seeing the great American Comedian, Mr. Joseph Jefferson, in one or more of his best characters. Few Americans, unendorsed by the European press, have ever attained the exalted position on the stage now occupied by Mr. J., and few, if any, have ever deserved it. A man of rare comic talent, of close study, of unexceptionable moral character, and withal an ardent admirer of the drama, Mr. J. is bound to become the great leading star of this country in his profession. See him to-night, without fail.
