TIE THEATHRs-Tne cultivated nd sppre-
ciative audience which brsved the pc ting storm
Of sleet last night to see AR. Wm Florence,
in his great role of"Jules Obenrsizer," in ono
Thoroughfare," were more than repaid by the
pleasure of witnessing one of the fine It pieces of
aching seen in Washington this winter. The

and smooth spoken but tiger like "ODenreizer'
was complete In makeup, accent and action.
Mrs. Saville looked handsome as Marguerite"
and was fully up to the req uirements Of the part
otherwise. Sheridan as George Vendsle" AID

thought those composing the audience at Ford's
opera House last n ght. As the weather bids
fair 10 be more favorable to-night, there should
De house worthy OF the play, of Miss LeClerq,
and OF the company which gives her such eff
nclent and Intelligent support.
The snow storm did not prevent a fair attend
ance at the Theater COmiQue, aud the rich and
varied programme of the evening made itright
jolly inside while the snow whirled and sleet
fell without.
