Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1856-09-01

The NATIONAL THEATRE" Romeo and
Juliet" was performed on Saturday night very
much to the satisfaction of the audience. Mr..
Davenport made most acceptable Mercutio :;
Mr.. Boniface, always favorite in this city,
made himself new admirers in the part Of
Romeo, and We need hardly say that the part
Of Julia was admirably performed by Mrs.
Davenport. Indeed, the most Grabbed old
bachelor present must have felt some touch Of
the tender passion while beholding the per-
sonation of the loving Juliet by Mrs. ID To-
night, Bourcicault's brilliant "London Assn
rance" will be performed. Our old favorite,
Joseph Jefferson, make his bow to his wash
ipgton friends tonight on his return from bis
Old World trip.
A BOLD OPERATION. person, on Saturday
night, stole from tho restaurant of Messrs.
Lunsford & Jordan, on Fifteenth street, two
new coats which were hanging in the bar-room.
The thief did not carry out his bold under.
taking, though he managed to esade immedi-
ate apprehension. He will doubtless see the
expediency of saving his bacon by making i'm
mediate restitution Of the stolen property.
