THEATRICAL.-Ihe NsR Memphis YVES
crowded by q large and fashionable audi
enc to witness the presentation OF Old
PhiF's Birthday. The leading character,
"Old Pn,l," intended to portray the
most faithful honesty. aud the most { n
sitivs honor, though combined with
humble position and poverty, was pow
srfuIly rendered by Mr. Couldock. The
psthOs of ceTtsin passages Ess i~Fresist-
ible. Many a moisteB, q eye il the gay
crowd of pleasure seekers attastsd the
high merit OF this sctor-reaiizing the
histrionio test suggested by Garrick
when he said that his art consisted ia
altering fiction SIS though il was she
truth. Justice requires Us to state that
ha was most admirably supported.
Milky White, the concluding piece,
though without intrinsic merit, was
worked up for all that it was worth, by
Mr.. CoBlGock. We again urge cur pro
test against tie gross injustice to the
management in the Friday night mo-
nnnniy by o psopie. Unless it is
amended u Theaser will not % sus-
