A correspondent writes the New York
Post in praise Of Growers theatre at WASH
ington, which ia certainly very cheerful
and comfortable establishment, worthy the
attention of the New Yorkers who may
visit the capital. The scenery and COM
psny are good; the costumes fair to mid
ding, and the drop curtain view of
Luino, on Lake Msggiore-is not only well
painted and attractive enough 10 the eye,
but has moreover the merit of being a sim
gulsrly faithful representation of one Of
the most charming localities in North
Italy. A most noticeable feature Of
Growers Theatre is the orchestra
which, under the baton Of Mr.. Koppitz,
certainly performs as well if not better
than any ia this city. Not only is the ex-
ecution admirable, but the selections eEinee
a really refined taste. An arrangement
from "Faust" is one of the most recent
successes of this admirable orchestra.
Among the recent dramatic attractions,
there has been Madame Ponisi, who is far
better qualified as a astar" than many i'm
mature young ladies who are playing as
such. Madame Ponisi made her hsppiest
success as "Pompsdour" in "Narcisse, u
playing with charming refinement and
appreciation of the part. She was sup
ported by Mr.. McCollOm, young actor
from the West who is good enough to be
heard in Now York. a--
