Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1869-03-06


we'll repeated to a large and delighted
house last night, at the New Memphis
Theater. his great character, of Romeo
Jaffier Jenkins" in Too Much for Good
Nature, with the same cast as the night
before. The announcement in the outset
that be was defeated candidate at the
county convention thoroughly enlisted
the sympathy of the entire audience and
secured their uninterrupted attention
throughout His dramatic aspirations,
which carried him up above the world to
to tenth-story attic, we're happily
illustrated in his limitations of the differ
eut schools Of acting in tragedy and
comedy. His perceptions were very
good, but not fine enough to distinguish
his antique SLOUGH of hat, preserved
from the wreck of Noah's ark, from the
elegant new beaver of " Mr.. Adolphus,
and he was prevented from carrying the
new one off to the attic by the utmost
vigilance of its prudent owner His
local hits were well put and duly appre-
ciated. Mrs. Cline had no opportu-
nifty to sing, but carried out the
character of the red-headed girl,
the object of Jenkins undying devo-
ton, with the utmost abandon, and in the
spirit of uncombed simplicity. Mr. Nc
Wade made capital young husband as
"Adolphus." Miss Plunkett makes an
excellent suspicious wife; Malmburg, as
"Spaulding, good mesmerizer and
humbug philosopher; Miss Jennie Ma
varre sleeps well when under the inhu-
ence of mesmerism; and O Keefe, as
1" Mrs Spaulding," cleaned out her re-
creant husband in the most ap-
proved style of the P. r. Upon
the whole the company never
appeared to better advantage; and
Miss Leona Lavender, as " Betty" the
servant girl, was very fine, and won much
praise. The climax of the piece was
reached rather sooner than the audience
generally expected, and the electric
shock of laughter which thrilled the
audience when "keno" was called, ex-
ceeded the province of description. 1t
needs to be seen to be understood. The
performance opened with the lively little
comedy of A Naval Engagement This
afternoon matinee is given at one
o'clock, Mr.. Leffingwell appearing as the
gushing "Clorinda in Cinderella, and
Romeo Jaffisr Jenkins" in Too Much
for Good Nature Tonight " jenkins
