NEW MEMPHIS THEATER-The Marble
Heart was the entertainment at the New
Memphis Theater last night, Miss Boyd
appearing as Marie" and Mrs. Allen
as the marble.hesrted coqaette Marco"
The play is a mass of Inconsistencies,
whose plot can be fully appreciated only
by those who imbbe their ideas of the
tender passion from the high-pressure
romances of the day. 1t is only in nc
ton that mems hearts are shattered by
the wiles of jilts. In every day life
=" Old Bourbon steps in and lifts the
wounded heart from the mire Of sorrow
tu the rock of bliss. Miss Boyd was not
81, fish enough for marie" but rendered
the part quite satisfactorily. Her acting
was easy and graceful generally, though
at times somewhat stiff Mrs. Aliens
" Marco" was very fine indeed. Those
who Witnessed her personation of
this exceedingly difficult character
will, if they have not al
ready done so, confirm the opinion
expressed by us after Witnessing her
" Julia in the opening night She is
the artistic of the company, already
deservedly favorite, and made more
out of the false.hearted, money worship
ping Marco than many stars. Mr..
Roche as " Raphael" was good, but the
lack of meditation in his voice and his
frequent mispronounciation of words
marred the force of the rendition. We
have seldom witnessed better "Volsge"
than that of Mr.. France, whose acting
evidences education, study and ability.
Miss Fanny Persons Clementine"
another Endorsement of the
opinion already pronounced upon her
merits. The character was out of her
line, yet finely personated. Tonight
we are to have the Countess and the
Serf, with Miss Boyd as the " Countess.
1t is one of Knowles finest plays, and
should attract large audience
