NATIONAL TBEATRk. -"Undine, or the
Naisd Que,n." 10 In some respects a more at
ttactive speotaoular drama than the "Blaok
Crook" which has but recently had such q
snccessful run at this theatre. The scenic
effects are quite as beautiful, and the ballet
introduces the same terpsichoreau perfor-
mers In several new dances. There will be
two performances to-day-a matinee this AZ.
tsrnoon and also a regular evening PERFORM
ance.
CANTERBURY HALL,-All who have seen
the French Csn.Can and the rest OF the ex.
celient programme which Mr.. Fltrsimmons
offers bis audiences nightly, speak Of the whole
affair as one well worthy visit. Rene ember
that there will be matinee this afternoon
and aregular performance this evening.
WALLS OPERA HousE.-Mrs. Scott Siddons
has steadily and surely won the affections,
and excited the highest admiration OF the
plsy-goers Of Washington, by her perform.
snces at Walls Opera House the past week.
Young, beautiful and accomplished, she acts
out Shakpeare's most delicate creations In
the highest style OF art, and has done much
toward Inducing q desire for the firm establish
ment OF the legitimate drama again In our
midst. As a reader and deiineator Of Shak.
speare's characters Mrs. Siddons stands In the
Nety hoht hehh VI pfottssiohs tht
evidence given by the audiences that have
nightly greeted her here, there is no doubt but
that she would have had full benches 10 a
much larger theatre. The company by which
Mrs. Siddons has been supported Is not ex-
actly great one, but II works with sufficient
smoothness to prevent any apprehension of
her own work being marred. The large audi
enoe at Mrs. Siddons' benefit last night was
evidence Of the fact that she is appreciated
here, and 1t will be safe to predict that she
will have another full house at the matinee
this afternoon, when the closing performance
will be given, and this engagement will close,
with the play Of the "Hunohback."
oRAED Army CouRsK-Col T. W. Higgi n
son will deliver the second lecture OF the
Grand Army Course at Metzerott Hall to-
night His subject is Democracy and Liters-
ture." This lecture is In aid OF the charity
fund Of Post No. 8, for the relief OF wounded
and iudgent soldiers and sailors.
