TIE THEATRE The representation o? the
Serious Family" and "Raising the Wind"
at Iron Hall, last night, went Of capitally.
The company improve nightly, as they be
come better acquainted with the house and
Washington audiences. Mr.. Weaver seems
to have taken our hints kindly, inasmuch as
his Aminidab was performed on this occasion
with much better taste than on Saturday night
last The audience testified their qualification
fifty times in the course Of the evening, and
left tho house, one and all, in most excellent
humor. Tonight, they play "Kill or Cure
and "Follies Of Night. two standard pieces.
Mrs. Wslcott, who sustains her talented hus-
band very effectively, indeed, makes her Fl st
appearance here on this occasion, and will,
doubtless, be excellently we'll received. As
cast, the public may rely on it, both the pieces
TO be represented to night will be we'll worth
seeing, for they suit the company exactly. We
anticipate that besides Mr. and Mrs Walcott,
Mr.. Weaver, Miss Howard, Miss Tyson, and
Messrs. Norton and Newton will make great
hits in these two favorite pieces.
