BENEFIT OF CHARLOTTE THOMPSON
The efforts of Miss Charlotte Thompson
at the New Memphis Theatre are being
crowned with that success which her
merits deserve. Thousands have wit
messed her beautiful acting, and all
classes join in praising it and pronoun-
cling her worthy of the position she holds
among the rising artists of the world
She does not appear to be spoiled by the
marks of appreciation she has received
at the hands Of the people in the princi-
pal cities of the United States, for she
still tries to improve and overcome the
little defects that are nearly always to
be found, even in the acting of the bright
est lights of the profession. That she
has succeeded in this respect, any one
who saw her last season and will observe
her acting in similar character now
can see. She has improved, and will
still continue to improve while there is
room for it, Her personation OF "Arrah
ma Pogue" in the drama Of that name,
aided by Mr.. Wheeiock as Shaun" the
efforts of the other members of the COM
pany and the able manner in which the
piece was put upon the stage, has drawn
large houses all the week, and will doubt
less be reproduced again. Tonight Miss
Thompson takes benefit, on which oc-
casion the drama of Little Fddet will
be presented, with the fair benefciare
as "The Cricket" The bare announce
ment will cause large number of ladies'
to be present, and where they 20 the
gallantry of the gentleman will cause
them to follow. Therefore we anticipate
a crowded house this evening.
