National iTheatre-"The Bn nkei's Daughter"
The first represent alton of the Bankers
Daughter" was given by Golfers Combination
at tho National Theatre last evening, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by very largo audience.
As the story Of the play was noticed mt some
longth in these columns In yesterdays ISSUE
it is but necessary to add that 1t is OF absorb
ing interest from the first rise Of the
curtain to the very last scene. Tho
action is free and natural, the dia-
oguo bright, sparkling and, most happily,
free from those cheap aud shallow devices
and the vulgar Glap.trap that mar many So
called society dramas. No Que character is
but each and all are indvidualizcd
and distinct, aud like tho single
pieces in n choice bit of mosaic, form
pleasing and harmonious whole. The follow
ing is tho cast John Slrebelow, Mr.. Louis

Brown, Mrs Charles WalcOt; Mrs, Fanny Hol-

that tho cast comprises many woll-known art
lists and certainly two old fyortos Of the
Washington public, Louis James and Harold
Folsberg, Both were most heartily welcomed,
as were also Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walcot two
sterling artists, who, for long time, have en-

contains some very strong scenes, and
holds the interest of the audience through

ly, and rbounds in bright renartee aud
pointed nois, and the characters are natural,
well drawn and marked with distinctive orig.
naity. The scene is laid in the South, on
the banks Of the Mississippi and In Florida,
in tho years from 1853 to 1860 There are
many highly dramatic scenes and situations
in the play, which has its tragic and gloomy
side 10 the killing of the drunken husband Of
tho heroine, who is afterward accused of the
murder aud its happy side in the love of the
widow for Edwin Fairfax and her final
acqnittal of all foul suspIcions upon her.
