MEMPHIS THEsTER.-As we predicted
yesterday, there. was a large aud fasli-
ionabie audience at the Mem his Theater
last night to witness Mrs. Bowers mar
velous representation of LadV 4HdieV.
In cur notice Of performance on rnos-
dHy morning, we PROMISED To particular
izs some of the scenes in which the tragic
power Of which we spoke show preemin-
ent, when tho piece was again repeated.
We ind our thoughts already put OF
paper by the 81. Louis Republican So we'll
that we quote its words;
" Il first shows itself in the scene with
the husband she has deserted, when SHE
hears the crash Of the rotten timber and
his bubbling grOans as h" sinks beneath

stronger, in The scene with RObert 4VdLcy,
when he inquiries Shall II he a duel be-
tween Us, my Lady?' She bends until
her head almost touches his shoulder,
and her eyes Il ish with a terrible fire a.
she misses, no speaks, in All intense whis-

can hardly speak in terms of too much
praise. IL was an admirable performance
throughout, and stamps him ~ AL aC,Or
of rare versatility of talent. In his inter
course with Ahciu and Others he is SO
''devil-nay-care and good Hatur0d, that
we resurprised at the depth and intensity
of feeling displayed by him in his inter
view with Lady IuGieg. where he fir I
charges her with the murder uf his friend.
We predict for Mr.. McCOi!ofn Al brilliant
career.
The role OF 4iicid Was filled in the most
natural and charming manner by Miss
Ella Wren. who seems naturally adapted
to tho character.
Mr.. Davenport was admirable In the

parts were all well Tiled. Indeed. while
IL NAV seem like a lack OF Judgment ia
give praise apparently so indiscrimi-
nately, we mast candidly confess that we
have never seen a Play, as n whole. 81
we'll put upon the stage. Tonight we

have seen of Mrs. Bowers we are pre-
pared to see another wonderful piece of
acting.
THE PARLOR Music HALL Manager

~ good taste. has secured another COM
bination of talent for his cosy little the

Annie Merritt is a charming danseHse,
and Miss Nellie HAMMOND brings the
