Julius Cesar"-Proposed Production Of the
Great Play in Warrington.


IT is formally announced by Jarrett & Palmer,
the renevned managers, that they VIII transfer
"Julivs Cesar, I" with all the remarkable features
which earned for It the unparalleled run, for q
Shakspcrean play, Of over one hundred consecu-
tive performances in New York, to the National
theatre Of this city the 24th instant. It appears
that 1t will be given but four times the last repre-
sensations to be ct special matinee on wednes-
day and on Wednesday evening of next week.
The distinguished tragedlans, Lawrence Barrett,
F. @. Bangs, Mines Leyick and E. L. Davenport,
supported by powerful dramatic company and
host Of auxliaries win take part in the perform
ance, which promises to be q rich dramatic treat.
It is 20 seldom that Shakespeare is illustrated by
the stage in SO royal q manner that the over
whelming success everywhere attending this spe-
cial enterprise Of the managers named may be
looked upon as a popular Endorsement Of their
efforts in so eommendable,a direction, .and We be-
Ieve that..they will find their appeal to the WASH
ington public will secure response creditable to
q community that can boast of as much culture
and classic taste as any in the land, and abun-
dainty satisfactory to themselves. 1t is a pleas
ant fact to record that the: President Of the
Unied States has signifed his intentionifos6e
present at the initial performance in this city of
the sublime tragedy; but this announcement
merely records the following of precedent made
by the Governors and Legislatures Of the States
OF New York and New Jersey, the faculty and
students Of Yale College and other of the more
prominent Of our educational institutions while
the play was on the boards of Booths theatre
The reputation Of this aforementioned theatre for
providing magnificent legitimate entertainments
is illustrated by the eagerness shown by His In
perial Majesty, the Emperor of Brazil, to visit It
the very day Of his landing on our shores and it
seems to that it is almost suieient to saw that
its managers promise to give to the people of
Washington next week performance OF marked
merit to insure the attendance Of overwhelming
audiences.
The National Theatre.
The third performance Of Imitation" at the
National last night was even more successful than
the first. Imitation" is an attempt to use finan-
ciaI subject for play, and use it as to secure
moral effect. The conception is as bold as the
Nasty letters were original The authors made
new departures in the drama as well as Offering
a new candidate for popular favor, and they have
succeeded in both attempts. Washington au-
dence3are severely critical and dIfne1f 70 please:
that they are pleased with ,"Inflationn is suffi-
cientIy. levinced by the unstinted applause Be.
slowed both upon the play and the actors. Mr..
Jennings has a most difficult role to sustain in
Nasty. He did 1t with spirit and energy truly
remarkable. His personation is positive sue
cess. The remaining members of the company
particularly Messrs. Denham, Lee, Peirson'
Rowe, Anderson, Miss Kate Newton and Miss
George Dickson, gave admirable renditions of
their respective characters and were enthusiast
eally applauded. "Infation' will have its fourth
this evening, and will run through
out the week.
