NATIONAL THEATER.-The performance Of
Henry VIII at this theateT last evening, with
appropriate music, scenery and costumes, pre-
sented as fine a series of stage pictures as was
ever seen in Washington. Commencing with
the "Masque Of Shepherds" In the grand hall
at York, with the dancing of the minuet. at the
end OF the first act, and closing with the v0y
age OF the royal barge on the Thames, from
Westminster to Greenwich, in the fifth act
showing London as ii was in the days OF Shake
speare-there are many beautiful scenes. But
the merit OF this presentation is not by any
means confined to its spectacular features. Miss
GeGeyfeye Ward, who looks every inch q queen
eShl bted so much dramatic power as to rather
aston 1Sh those who did not expect much in the
way CT acting. The speech at the trial. ana the
dying scene were given in style to compare
fayorably with the efforts of some OF the great
actress eS who have eSSayed the role. In the
closing scene she reminded one of Charlotte
Cushman. Mr.. Leytck was capital as Cardinal
Wolsey," and Miss Detchon played the demure
'AnDc Boleyn" very acceptaby. This is decid-
edly one OF Jarrett and Palmer's most success
1ul ShakeSpearean spectacleS, and those who
fail to see 1t viii miss rare treat.
