BENEFIT OF Mrs. BATEMAs.-This evening has been Sc
lected for benefit OF the talented authoress OF Self and
we trust that those who have derived pleasure from
efforts will all be present TO pay fitting tribute to this
gifted lady.
We may consider the of this comedy almost
precedented having been played to large audiences for
three consecutive nights Notwithstanding all the counter
attractions be found in Washington society This
city, dramatically considered is unlike any other in the
Unionhe society comprises the beauty, talent and
6nemen of all metropolitan cities and the season be
ing brief the reunions hops and the social gatherings
which must be attended, deprive many of paying that at
enton to the drama which their tastes might dictate.
Therefore, in much higher Specification is the success of
Self to be interpreted. bv
The comedy will be presented with the same excellent
which has hitherto distinguished Tvs production 1t
is well worth the price Of admission to witness Mr. John

We trust that Mrs Bateman win receive this evening
