--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.
