Engagement of Robert Downing.
Robert Downing will appear at the Opera House in this city on Monday next supported by Miss Eugene Blair and his own legitimate company in his new successful play "The White Pilgrim." There is no young actor on the stage today that he made the rapid strides in his profession that Robert Downing has, and to-day he stands on an equal footing with the great actors of the stage having attained that distinguished position by hard work complied to true merit.
When McCullough failed—and it is a murmurl incident, as showing the extremes of Fate, that his last public appearance was in this character—when he failed, admirers of his sturdy, noble work sighed sadly, saying, There is none to succeed him." But the man is always equal to the occasion. Suddenly, while it yet was a regret that this or that one of the actors before the public was unsuited to these noble types of heroic character, a young actor springs into prominence, Robert Downing, (a young actor, who has been the leading support to Mary Anderson, Joseph Jefferson, Booth, and other prominent stars) has the physique of a gladiator and soul of an artist, and is peculiarly constituted—handsome, strong lusty, muscular. He possesses a voice that might have served for Stentor's in the days of old; has in the miider moods of character a musical sweetness, rich, melodious vibrant, that delights the hearer His face is firm, positive, resolute in cast, and yet it is strikingly hand some and obedient to the expression of every varying emotion. In intellectual power, Mr. Downing is the most promising of the young actors for the fine intelligence that mark his work is tempered and qualifies by the modesty of a sound judgment Manly in whatever he does, earnest sincere, conscientious, alwaas seeming to think the character greater than himself, Mr. Downing is on of the few actors made to rise.
