"CONRAD AND MEDORA."

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Philadelphia and New York papers all speak in complimentary terms of the recent performances of "Conrad and Medora" in the above-mentioned cities during the recess. The play, says the Times, is a travesty on Byron's "Corsair." "Folanthe," "The Pirates of Penzance," "Horrors," "Baba," "The Babes in the Wood." "Evangeline," the Brooklyn bridge, the proposed new aqueduct, the legislature of New York, the great and only combined Barnum and London shows, George Francis Train and "Julius Caesar." The cast included:

Conrad, the Corsair, a pirate chief. Gloomy, ironical and Byronical.

W. O. Edmands, Jr.Birbanto, his lieutenant; a ha, ha villian,

R. D. Sears.Seyd (or Seedy) Pacha, Arabi Bey in disguise.

G. M. Davis.Syngsmaul, a general officer; major domo to the Pasha.

H. F. Mandell.Yussuf, a renegade slave merchant

Joseph Dorr, Jr.Hassan, a boatswain,.

Morris Earle.Medora, a Grecian maiden made into an angel by her Uncle Yussuf, who fondly styles her "Me-dora"

W. P. Lyman.Gulnare, the Pasha's favorite.

J. S. Clark.Zuleima.

R. S. Minturn.Submarina, fairy guardian of the deep sea,

J. D. Sherwood.Serena.

G. G. Hammond, Jr.Corsairs, slaves, fairies, guards, attendants, and enough others to make the largest company ever collected on any stage, by members of the club.
