Az we expected, the opening Of the
Memphis Theater last evening, under the
management OF Messrs. Spaldipg, Bid
we'll q MacDonough, was an ovation, and
gave bright token Of prosperous sea-
son. The attendance was very large,
comprising the creme de Ia creme of our
city; and everybody seemed delighted
with the improvements made in all parts
OF the Muses. temple. Everything looked
lovely, and more brilliant scene or
more fashionable throng we have seldom
seen.
At eight o. clock Miss Josephine Fiddes
appeared and was warmly greeted. In q
clear, cultivated voice she delivered the
opening address, written for the occasion
by our talented townsmsn, J. Birney
Marshall, Esq. The tender tribute paid
to the memory of the late manager Of the
theater, W. G. Thompson, Esq, did
honor to the head and heart of the
author.
Boucicaults play of the Long Strike
was well mounted and satisfactorily rem
dered. Great interest of course was felt
in the first nights performance, and we
believe the expectations Of our play-goers
were fully realized. The company is
good one, full and complete. embracing
among its members artists Of great
ability, who made such favorable impress
sions on the audience as to call forth
some hearty rounds of applause.
The leading characters Of the piece
were personated with admirable taste
and skill, exhibiting true touches Of ma
ture and gracefulness of manner and
department quite pleasing. Mr.. Cogs.
we'll as "Jem Starkie," Mr.. Davis as
"Moneypenny," Mr.. Burns as the Gem
tleman from London" Mr.. Wallace as
johnny Reilly" Mr.. Cadwallader as
"Sir John Fairfield" Mr.. Hewitt as
captain Wolf" Mrs. Dan Myron as
"Jane Learoyd" and Miss Laura Don as
Betsy" deserved and received especial
praise.
The telegraph scene was fall Of power
and grand point in the play. In fact,
all the incidents of the plot we're so life
like and so wildly presented that inter-
est in them never tagged. Every actor
played his part with great spirit, and the
efforts of the whole company (which is
the best we have seen in Memphis since
1859 we're duly appreciated and &C.
knowledged.
This evening Mr.. Dominick Murray,
the celebrated Irish comedian, appears
in the beautiful drama Of Oond0hs En-

is said to be very graceful and accom-.
