MEMPHIS THEArER.--A very fashion
able audience-the elite Of our city-as
sembled last night to witness the un
eaualled impersonation of Hamlet" b,
Miss Marriott, who made such deeI
| Impression by her artistic acting q
caused her to be called before the curtain
at the end of every act to receive thai
tribute of praise which enlightened peo
pie always pay TO genius, AT thu
matinee to-day Miss Marriott zap
pears as "Cynthia," in Flowers o
the Forest. Phillips will make frienoi
of all the little ones by bis splen
did personation Of "Cheap John.
Children always admire the funny
man." and Phillips, we think, is des
tined to become their favorite Ut the
matinee. Tonight Sir Weller Scott.
operate play of Guy Mannering will
be presented in superior style. both ~
scenic effects and music. The mere an'
nouncement that Miss Marriott wilrplny
the gipsy, Meg Merrilies," ough, u b.
sufficient to fill the house to over flowing
that is, If our people have the slightest
wish to be put down as possessing thelsssI
taste in theatrical matters. Charlotte
Cushmsn's Meg Merrilies" is creation
of her own, and not the weird, wild hsg
pictured by Scott; still as piece Of his
trionic art it exceeds anything tina; ever
has been, or probably ever will be, on the
stage. Mrs. Walters conception OF the
character comes very close to the idea Of
the Bard of Abbotsford. With these two
widely different, but at the same time
artistically grand, pictures in the mind 8
eye, every plsy.goer and lover of the
drama ought to feel deep interest in
the manner in which Miss Marriott per
forms the part.
BRooxs OPERA HoUsE.-This is the

be strange if here in Memphis, where be
won his first lsurels as a poet and pun :
ster, large crowd did not continually
greet him. Wherever you go, Harry, in
the language of Mickey Free, we say
