INV MEMPHIS THEATER.-Tbere was a
very slim attendance at the theater last
night, owing to the rain and thunder
storm and other reasons not necessary
to ehumerate. The Robbers, by Schiller,
was pretty well mounted and put on the
stage, Mr.. VIM. Jenner, citizen Of Mem
phis, making bis FIRST appearance on any
stage as Charles de Moor" These first
appearances are often the last appear
ance on "any stage" but in the case Of
Mr.. JeDner it may prove otherwise, pro.
vided he is willing to submit to a severe
training; but he cannot jump forth q
full-fedged star at once, nor can any one
else. Many persons who can read
tolerably well in small room,
utterly fail in the presence of a
large audience and the glare Of
footlights, where the voice dies out like a
Whisper before it reaches the galleries.
Such persons are usually much surprised
to find that at frat they cannot even
create a respectable echo, much less
showers Of bouquets, storms of applause
and hearty encore. Mr.. Jenner made
better start than most novices, and il
he has ambition for dramatic honors,
combined with everlasting patience, he
may in due time win soothing breeze
of theatrical fame, after he learns what
to do with his hands. He read some
passages with quite correct apprecia-
ton Of the text and with fine intoGa-
ton of voice. The support which he
required was adequately rendered by the
members of the company in the cast.
Tonight Mr.. Leffingwell, the unrivalled
burlesque actor, is expected.
VARIETIES THEATER.-This highly pop
ular place Of amusement, the only one Of
the kind left in Memphis, was crowded
last night by delighted audience. Mr..
Larry Tooley, general favorite, made
bis first appearance at that place last
night, and was heartily welcomed. Mile
Aline LeFavre continues to rivst all eyes
in the cancan. which famous show will
be improved tonight by some additions
