and Abroad.

anu ADEOa0s
The drama has been tabOoed from u
boards during the past week, and " burnt
caTk I" has reigned supreme-even in the
Z" classic hallsn OF the New Memphis.
Our local company went of With Mrs.
Lander on q STARRING tour to Nash
vile, and have been doiDg Elizabeth,
Mary Stuart, Henry VII School for
Scandal, and Adrisnne the Actress, to
the good people of the Rock City
showing them for once in their lives,
what q real good theatrical company
consists OF. The Nashville press, gene
rally, have paid glowing tributes to Mrs.
Lander, and her support, Messrs. Taylor
and Beck, and our company. They
close their engagement there Saturday
night, and return hither on Monday,
opening in Elizabeth Monday night.
Fred Wilson's Ministries, who have
meanwhile been occupying the theater,
have had q good week, and though We
have heard hundreds of our cidz9ns
speak OF their performances, we have
vet to bear one say that they were not
the best ever seen in these regions. We
are sorry TO part with them for we at
tribute a portion Of the quiet and peace
Of our city during the past week TO them,
everybody having been In too good q
hunor to kick up 9 row.
Concerts-cOncerts-no end of con-
certs Since Lent closed, the amateurs
and professionals a.. q ID town have done
nothing but sing. q . would think mat
their voices had pesn lent, and they were
trying them on their return, 20 see II they
had not been cIScked by the borrowers.
During the week we have had q concert
every night except last night, COM
mencing with one for the Linden street
Christian Church, on Monday, and re-
peated Tuesday night. On Wednes-
day st. Lez3rus, and on Thursday and
Friday nights DR.. Ford's Church had
concerts, ~tableaux, etc. st. Peters con
cert, which was to have come off Easter
Monday night, was postponed until to-
morrow night. In this connection we
caunot LET slip the opportunity to COM
pliment cur amateur musicians, both
ladies and gentlemen, for the r2adi-
ness and willingness which they dis-
play, to help every charitable or wor-
thy object. Few persons appreciate
the trouble, fatigue and, sometimes, eX-
pensa, that they are put to, in order 70
render this aid, and yet no church, no
orphan asylum, 10 charity demand
ing aid makes application in vein.
