President Lincoln and the First Lady heard selections from Guiseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore and Vicenzo Bellini's Il Puritani at the Washington Theater (also called Carusi's Hall) on the north-east corner of C and Eleventh Street in the capital. The Internal Revenue Service building now occupies that site. (By John Osborne)
