hear iMignon" by the Strakosch opera troupe.

A beautiful and interesting play smoothly
performed by a carefully selected company,
each well fitted for his or her part, and set with
splendid scenery, making some of the most
superb stage pictures ever seen in Washington,
is the treat prepared for the patrons of the
National Theater this week by Manager
Saville. The play, 1.-THE Geneva Cross, is not
as some suppose based on the story of "the New
Magdalen," but is a charming love romance of
the Franco German war, and was admirably
performed last night. Miss May Saville as
Gabrielle" was well supported by Messrs
Sheridan, Lamb and Mettkiff. The performance
OF MI. Page, from the Covent Garden Theater,
London, on the cornet, was a new and pleasing
feature, and in his solo, "Leviathau," charmed
the audience, and was called upon for an encore.
He played in response "Molle Darling" with
a similar EFFECT and second encore followed.
Mr.. Page has made himself fsvorite from the
start.
"The Child Stealer' attracted a large at
tendance at the Theater Comique last night
and was performed in good style. That, with
other novelties at the house, should draw well
during this holiday week.
