Homer D. Cope at Rensselaer.

The second entertainment of the lecture course of the Irving Literary Association will be given at Starr’s Ilall, Friday evening, Nov. 28, ’79. T his time Homer D. Cope will render Bunitn’s grand classical drama, “Danon and Pythias,” followed by Mark Twain’s humorous masterpiece, entitled “Uncle Daniel’s Appiration,” the most perfect portraiture of negro character ever produced. He has been accorded unusually flattering receptions in New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis and many other cities, and is very highly spoken of by the press wherever he has ap* peared. Did space permit highly complimentary notices from leading newspapers of the Atlantic cities, with those throughout the length and bredth of our country, could be given, but after reading the following, the public ought surely to be satisfied with regard to the merits of this favored man: After years of experience and intimate knowledge of the business in the Uuited States and Canada, we affirm that the success of Mr. Cope’s efforts, together with the rapidity of Us attainment, is absolutely without a parallel. As a further assurance to committees, we guarantee the new entertainment to be unsurpassed by anything over offered upon the platform, and a failure to accomplish this regarded as sufficient cause for withholding the fee.— American Sureait, Cooper Institute, New York City.
