so fiatteripgly fDcored. An ample support Ia
rendered Der h. lr. Pope, in the character of
Harold Cecil or Louis PictOr. The piece will be

sped away for awhile TO Memphis, reached here
again on Wednesday afternoon and only awaits
the departure of the circus to make its reappear-

Thursday the "White Fawn" burlesque, and on
Saturday "Barbe Bleue," burlesque based upon
Ofenbachs opera of that name, with the original
music, and with Mrs. Oates (wbo also appears In

Miss Fellmsn's graceful self-possession and excel

Both ladies appear to afford an invaluable support |
to the author as DR.. POddletOn and to Mr.. Chan

thus far and should be seen by all who can ap-
