ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEArER.-Last night Mrs.
Bowers again essayed one of those char
acters that are rightly considered among
the masterpieces of dramatic literature,
and the proper rendition of which requires
the loftiest grade of dramatic ability.
Well and proudlydid she fulfill her duties
to herself and the public. There are few
who can realize the amount Of labor a
lady in Mrs. Bowers position has to I'M
dergO, the various changes of character,
the preparation of others with whom she
is brought in contact, wen looking at it
with a semi-professional eye. we are as
tonished at the wonderful perfection of
art with which she delineates all the char
acters she assumes, 1.-THE art with which
she hides her art, - and the true instincts
of a real and womanly nature, which, in
whatever situation she is placed, always
renders her conception one that nature
stamps as true; hence her great success.
The actress is forgotten in the woman,
and the blending-in the character of Leah
of power and feeling, love and hate, ten
derness and regret, all clothed in a pathos
which, in the last scene, opens the dOor of
every heart, was so wonderful, vet so ma
tural, that we are hardly willing to call it
art. Art it was; but of the very highest
order; and unless our judgment be sadly
at fault, she gained a triumph-complete
enough to satisfy her own ambition, and
the requirements of the severest critics.
She was well supported by Mr.. ]. c. Me
COLON, who gave a manly, truthful and
vigorous portrait of the character of Ra-
dOLph. This gentleman improves nightly
in public estimation. Mr.. WaVerly, in
the unthankful part of Nathan, Mr.. Dun.
can as the severe, yet loving father, Miss
Ella Wren as the trusting, truthful Mad
cline, Mr.. Phillips as the Doctor, and, in
fact, the whole drdHdtjs persona, by their
careful and correct deiineations, rendered
worthy support 10 the bright particular
star. Tomorrow night Mrs. d. z. Bow
ers takes her first benefit, and we are
happy to near that the indications are
that she will be greeted by a full and
fashionable attendance.
CORREcTIoN.-The role of Ph9be,s in
" Lady Audley's Secret" for the excel
lent rendition of which we gave credit
yesterday to Miss Bella Golden, was
played by Miss frankie Mcclellan as we
lind by referring to the programme Of the
evening. "Honor to whom honor is
due f" say we, and as Miss frankie fairly
won our plaudits by her faithful repre-
sentatiOn of the character, it is no more
than right that we should make the cor
rection.
A DESERVED Communicative find
the following in the Cosmopolitan Dan
Rice's paper of the 18th inst The COM
pliment to Mr.. Younge is well merited:
!" The New Memphis theater, gorgeously
refitted throughout, by that euterprising
managerial Misunderstanding, Bid
well and Ma Donough-is one of the most
elegant Thespian temples in the country,
and a legitimate credit to Memphis. The
company is an excellent one and stars +"
of the first magnitude shine plentifully
upon the boards. No small share of the
popularity of the theater is due to the
courtesy and vigilant superintendency of
Mr.. r. w. Younge."
PARLoR Music HALL Notwithstand-
ing announcements to the contrary, Dan
COnnors. the great comedian, and the
Young Cineinnatus, appearedlast evening
at the Parior Music Hall, and were greet
ed with rapturous applause. They will
still continue to delight the public at tho
above mentioned place during the ensuing
week. Last night the crowded house
would hardly part with the attractions
presented by Young Cinctnnatus, and
encored and encored again, until the per-
former was fairly worn out. Do not fail
him this week.
