NEW MEMPHIS THEATER.-Last nigh
closed the engagement of Miss Fanni
b. Price ct the New Memphis-Rn en-
gagement which, though it had mere {
struggle against than almost any one o
the present season, was nevertheless
success, Ever siuee Miss Prices arrivs
among Us We have had 8 succession @
wretched spells of weather, either 10
cold and windy for q lady to make al
appearances upon the streets with com
fort, or raining. There has also beef
considerable attraction in the way O
other ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, church fes
tivals, etc but with all this to contend
' against, the Wednesday and Friday
night entertainments have been goo0
and the other nights about q fair medi
UNI. Miss Price hes presented US dur
ing the week East Lynne, Lucretio Dor.
gtG, EdiTy Fingers and litter Dark, the
latter having been presented Friday and
last night. Nearly the whole company
were in the cast, and, ss We have taken
occasion to remark, acquitted Themselves
remarkably well. Ga Monday night
the stock company will give US the Lot
terry of Life, miss Nellie Taylor's
benehD which, SIS our readers are
aware, has been the greatest success OF
The present dramatic season.. On Tues
dsy night Mrs. Lander will open as

1HE Perhaps the best
minstrel entertainment that has been In
Memphis in ten years is the Duprez ana
Benedict troupe, which has been giving
performances st the GreenlaW O5era
House for the last three nights. 1'ne
troupe is in every respec. a star one, being
large, oompOsedoof fine musicians, and
a Of the best "burnt corkn bur-
lesques that We have ever seen. They
embrace in their roll names that have
become the synonyms in the profession
for all that is artistic in their line. They
are especially fine In their tFavesties Of
theo opera and operstic music. One of
their best "taks offs in this line was
the buflesque of 0henbach's burlesque
La Belle Helene, which was given yes
terdsy. IL kept the audience in q roar
laughter, and was of itself a~bundantly
worth D price OF q ticket. We hope
this company may be induced to Ie-
main g little longer with US. y
THE GAIETY. The Cda-Odn seems

THE VARIETIES.-MRnager Broo.A's
louse has been crowded during the en-
ire week, the throng beiDg drawn to-
.etheF by the great Can Can, which was
'us upon the stage with an abandon and
eekiessness which put to the blush old
sagers who had seen the "so-called "
Dan to Bsersheba. We spoke on
fridsy morning IF the utter lack of de-
eHcy in the exhibition, and are informed
hst on Friday night the Rev. Chief Of
'olice went to see the elephant. He
aw it, but in e very modified form, but
ven then his modesty was shocked con-
iderably. With this exception, Man
ger Broom has given, during the past
week, L OF the best shows ever in Mem |
his. Miss Malinds Maggie, Miss Sher-
nan, Mics Helene De We're, Miss Leslie,
