fhe audience at Ford's opera house last night
will, wherever they speak to-day, do complete
md ample justice to an American lady whose
genius they are proud Of, and whose venture and
organization has, ~ far as they saw It, absolute
approval To say that Sig. Carpi, as Figaro
hlled the demands OF the role as completely, in
Washington estimation, as the popular and we'll
remembered Ferrant ever did, rounds out the
limit Of prs4se. To most pleasing personal ap.
ptaranee he adds rich, fresh voice, admirable
execution and decided ability as an actor. MI.
and spirit, and catching the true meaning OF his
role, and unusually happy in expression, he won
new favor from his old friends. Doctor Bartolo
found, in Sig. Baccelli, q representative who was
frequently spplauded, ,one whose voice and acting
were sincerely praised; and the Don Basilio Of
as whole made q fine impression, and Its patron
age tonight will be greatly increased.
The character of Rosina is one difhcult of in,
depreciation. 1t Is full Of graces, charms and
coquetry. By natural gifts and study 1t was per-
fectly assumed by Miss Phillips. Her singing
music, and her acting charming as 1t could be.
NO one who saw II Will ever forget her remark
able by play, and quick facial changes daring the
scoldiDg aria of DR.. Bartolo. 1t was the best
piece Of acting in opera seen on the Washington
stage in years, and q grand round OF applause

the second, Miss Phillips continued to win favor.
In the music lesson she introduced the cele-
spending to sneores, sung with exquisite effects
1.-THE Rose Bush" and "COmIng Thro' the Rye"
We cannot fail to mention the Italian Of Miss
Phillips. Her enunciation is well nigh perfect.
There is no tumble of the words, but every one,
like her notes, is clear and distinct, and this is
one Of the reasons why her English songs were SO
much liked. With some prime donne 1t makes
very little difference what language they sing in,
for not word can be understood. We want all
who love art and music to patroniZe Miss Phil
lIpps,. Tonight, LA FavOrita;' LeOnOrs, Miss
Phillips.
The Costumes were new and elegant, and the
orchestra was under fine control.
National Theatre.
A fine house assembled last night to welcome
Mr., MacDsrmott and his associates, In the new
drama of Brought to Book" Mr.. MacDermott

dantly proved. As vocalist he has few equals.
His rendering of the "Ould Scamp" was superb,
and brought down the house. Besides this he
sang two or three other capital songs In response
TO the encores he received. Miss Rosa Reene and
formed their parts we'll. Mr. Forester is an able
comedian, and sung his song capitally. The
drama is effective, and aoounds In interesting and
Wallack's "Rosedale;" the second and third are
totally different. Miss Grace Marco, Mr.. Pear
son, Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Anderson gave admira-
BILE support. The play will be repeated this even

The Theatre Comiqus.
That "third somsthing" which philosophers
have never heen quite able to analyze and under
stand but sgarded as essential to the happiness
of the human race came to the Theatre Comique
last niEht-plump, rosy and handsome-in the
person Of the third Weigle, the dancing sunbeam
Of the stage. Ella Mayo, charmingly fat and
good natured, was handsomely received, and her
first song, The Flower of Kildare" was heartily
npplauded. All the newcomers made q hit-
The Avenue Theatre.
Searles, Beggs and Master Hanney in triple
clog, Miss Msrtha's sJngs, Lottie Antonio's
dances and songs, the Dutch acts, Mile Bsrtha's
statues and the Centennial sports on q lark kept
large audience in good humor at the Avenue
