Guy. lit Interest is kept up Jle whole
performance. 1t is an excellent play. The cast
is about perfect. Few companies are the equal
of the Madison Square combination. The people
have real dramatic treat offered them at
Ford's. The opportunity Of seeing the play
should not be ignored.
NATIONAL 1HEATER. Mccullough played
''Virginius' last night to good audience In
style which further demonstrated his right to
the title of Americas greatest living tragedian.
His immediate support was very strong but
the Roman army and the noisy populace We're
so weak that the strongest imagination would
not invest them with any formidable attributes.
The scenery and appointments might also be
improved upon. Tonight Julius Caesar will
be given. Mr.. McCulloughs representations
are so good that they should have all the adj
vantages of stage effect possible.
THEATER COMIQUE.-The mammoth company
make one of the best variety performances to be
seen anywhere. The drama "For a Lifen is
highly sensational and well worked up:
