THEATER.-The intensely dlssgreeable
cold weather prevented anything like 8
full bcHse assembling ct the New Mem
phis last night to witness the Spectacular
play The BarleSQue Cinderella. AS to the
plot OF the play, it is known 10 all, but
the acting demands more than . passing
notice at our hands. Mrs. Cline, who
took the part of Prince PoppettiN was
charming, ss she Is ia all things. She is,
however, rather too petite TO " ill the
bill " to perfection. The (" stsr Of the
evening u truly, wss Mrs. Nellie Taylor.
her acting,InsEeu voice, III FzCTr the
.sout ensemble, as "Clor.nds," was
Exquisite. We do not believe that In the
role she could be exeelled though Miss
.PluDket, in the counterpart, "Thisbe,"
was also admirable. The scene between
thess two loving sisters, where they go,
forD each other, is one Of the richest
thiugs that we have evef witnessed Of
the sort. Mrs. Nellie Taylor especially
carving out the combat to the life. Miss
CaTman, as Cinderella" has the same
fault that Etrs. Cline has, only in another
way-her size Is not suited 20 the part.
The one Is az much too large for the role
ss the other Is too small; though, per-
hsps, as the whole thing is a burlesque,
this very unftness OF the parts Is
their a.ness. Mr.. flanagan ss Baron

as ever, rsvishingly graceful and beaDti-
ipl-many new charms having been
sGded l. il IL the last few nights. We
are sorry TO note tns continued illness Of
Mile Sands, and hope she may oon re-
cover. MILES Diana and Laura took the
house by storm as usual. Cinderella Is
to be- repeated tonight with new sttrae-
lions.
