On Alonday night Air. Cordon gave a concert at City

even more. He proved himself to be as fine an actor as

Southerner included some fine old spirituals in his pi^-

and undiminished many years after its first performance.
It was written in Sheridan’s twenty-sixth year, and
was first produced on Alay 8, 1777, at Drury Lane
Theatre, London, and was an immediate triumph.
