MEMPHIs THEATER.-We are again
sorry TO chronicle the fact that there was
bur a a attendance at the theater
last night. HavenegrO songs II dances,
lewd dancing and monstrOus b~urlesques
so Initiated our people that they fail to de-
tect and acknowledge the great genius OF
Mr.. Murray, who is without doubt n OF
the finest artists that ever appeared on
our boards. IL appears that the fine taste
and nice discrimination of oar people have
left them, when they let the most natural
points, the most effective touches of true
art pass for nothing. Mr.. Murray's per-
Torrance of Pierre" last night was one
of the greatest pieces of natural acting
ever seen. in our experience. He is in
tenselY interesting, and throws his whole
soul into the part, and the character
affords scope for acting in every sentence.
Ii is a rare thing to see an actor work
up" every line and show such care and
study in his rendition, that every iden-
tity of the man is lost. At II moment
he tands The miserable abject serf, beg
cling for his mothers life; at another he Is
The most powerful noble, with life and
death in his hands, his generous nature,
however, refusing to make use OF his
power for the purpose of revenge. All
his is. done so naturally II free from
all "staginess," that we are panied to see
such acting thrown away, as il appears
to be, except with "the iudicious few, +"
(who are very few, indeed.l We cannot
omit to mention Mr.. w. l. Cogswell, for
his able rendering of the part Of Victor.
Miss Fiddes improves upon acquaintance.
She is very much ia earnest in all she
does, We trust to see a better audience
tonight.
The CIRcUs.-The canvass of Noyes'
great Crescent City circns was literally
crowded last night with our citizens, who
expressed their applause loudly. 1t Is
certainly one of the best shows we have
had the pleasure of seeing. All of the
performers are stars, and We can hardly
p~articularize without doing INJUSTICE.
Every act has somethingof the wonderful
in it. The cOntortiOn Of SignOr Monte
verde were never eXcelled, and are be-
yGnd descriDtiou. Chas. Mccarthy, in
his wonderful ivap over ten horses, and
Lewis Wilson, who besides lnakes the
same leap, gives astonishing performances
upon the trapeZe and bar, are also worthy
OF especial mention. The little Misses
Stokes, daughters of the ring master,
give promise of becoming proficient in
the profession, and already ride we'll for
their age, This is the last day of the cir
Gus, and the tent will be crowded both
day and night.
BRooNE's OPERA HoUsE.-This house
is without doubt doing the best business
of any thsater in Memphis. Senorita Ma
rie is nightly applauded till the roof rings
for her magnificent jigs and fancy dances.
Miss Fannie Deyere also continues to be
an ita4aeuss favorite. With Miss Fannie
Nav she does d dOuole Irish Jig that is
stunning. The two FaDnies are q Whcle
team.
HARRY MCCARTHY opens at Broome's
on Monday might next. To praise Harry
il sgpertluOus, and we are certain that the
mere ANNOUNCEMENT is all that is neces-
sary to fill the house.
The VARIETIEs.-This old and faveTtte
place Of amusement continues to draw
like Q plaster. and is always crowded with
the lovers OF fun. Li3zie Wheeler and
Miss QeYere are among the leading ar
fists, while Miss Albertine adds new lal-
rels nightly by her representations. She
is d charming d~anseuse, aud as "Frailty,"
in fhe Cn1t-Cdn, is not excelled by the
great LeFevre. Jake Etley and Dick
Clark know how to get up a good bill.
