Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1869-03-11

ling drama Foul Play was repeated last
night at the New Memphis Theater for
the third time. A large and elegant
audience testified great delight at the
performance. Miss Fanny B. Price, the
eminent young American tragedienne,
appeared to better advantage, If posi-
BILE, than on either preceding evening.
She was probably assured by increased
audience and their frequent manifesto
tons of sympathy with the character
of "Helen Rolleston and frequent criti-
cal applause. The piece being purely
of romantic and sensational character,
Miss Price has but little scope 70. the
display of her splendid talents. 1t is in
such characters as Leah the Forsaken"
that she displays the fullness of her
merits and ability as an actress. But
Foul Play abounds throughout with
smooth, graceful passages, as well as
thrilling plots-the graces of rhetoric, as
often as the perils of romance-and in
the fourth act, where Helen Rolleston "
resolves to devote her life to the convict
who preserved hers SO faithfully, she is
revealed in the highest type Of heroic
wemanhood. She was admirably sup
ported by Mr.. Theo. Hamilton, in his
triple character of Penfold,' Sea-
ton " and Hazel" while McWade
was capital looking sea captain, at
least to landsman, and Mr.. Murray, the
mate, was in a more sea-worthy condi-
ton than on former occasions, and Mrs.
Cline made splashing fine washer
woman. Mr.. flanagan is good-souled
old "Governor Rolleston," and Miss
Plunkett made very fine impersonation
Of disappointment, though none of her
friends we're disappointed in her. The
remaining characters we're pretty so SO.
Miss Price has genuine talent, and is true
to nature and the characters she plays
Tonight Foul Play will be repeated.
