among the theatre goers of this city as

respects a social as well as an operate
event. More than fifty theatre parties
Of thirty and more have ordered seats
for the different operas There have
also been many box parties who have
secured the lower boxes for the entire
series of performances. One party of
fifty couples have purchased seats for
the first night of "rho Drum Major"
Many of the gentlemen are members of
the Washington Light Infantry, who
are doubtless interested in the military
features of this production. The re.
yival of ''Nadiy" on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings recalls its first pro
duction here last season, when it
achieved such great success 1t was

formances were attended by different

There has not been vacant seat at
the New National Theatre at any of the
