The emotional play, of "Leah’’ was per formed ,by the -Pomeroy Company at the Theatre Royal last night-to a very good house, particularly downstairs, which was well filled. The drama is so universally known that a description of the plot ,is unnecessary. Mias -Louise Pomeroy, as Leah, the Jewish maiden, achieved one of her* greatest successes during her present season. In the curse scene espe cially her acting was very powerfully rendered, and a call before the curtain was accorded her. Mr Arthur Elliot, ass Rudolph, at- times was inclined to rant, and the same may be said of Mr Appleton as Nathan. In the commence ment of the third act Messrs Foley and Ken nedy created considerable merriment in their respective parts as-Hans and Dr. Ludwig. Miss B. Lewis’ rendition of Anna was a nice , bit of acting, and her efforts were fully appre ciated by the audience. Miss Lily -May, Miss F, Lewis, and Miss B. Brontou made the most of their respective parts. This even ing Miss Pomeroy takes a farewell benefit, when “Led Astray ’’ will be produced.
