BROADWAY THEATRE.—A very fair audience was gathered at this popular theatre to witness the first appearance of Mile. Zoe as Nita, the Gypsy, in Fal- ton’s sensational drama of “Nita, or Woman's Con stancy.” The piece was well put on the stage, and presented in the opening act a very incongruous aspect, or perhaps it was @ burlesque, after the modern style representation of “Punch and Judy,” with ‘he greased pole and fitch of bacon on the top, a dancing bear, acrobats, big dram and real ltatian organ grinder. With the second act the interest of the play really begins, and we were able to form an estimate of Mile. Zoc’s true powers. The plot of the piece ts @ love entanglement of @ young man with the Spey gui and an eifort of the father to force hiin to marry some one else with the usual result, In the pathetic and pas- sionate scenes Mile. Zoe called forth frequent ap- plause and exhibited considerable skill, but as a dancer or for ight parts we do not think she uw well studied, Mr. Gilbert gave us a very good stage trish- man, and Mrs. Skerrett was very happy as Marge. ‘There are several sensational scenes in the last act which were very well rendered, The piece will be repeated at the saturday matinée.
