Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-01-14

BROOM's.-The G-ilninutiOn of the force
at this popular place OF amusement was
scarcely noticeable. so large was the COM
pany hitherto. The absence Of the ma
dame" was the only thing that put n in
mind of il. The songs OF Miss IOna Lang
are loudly encored nightly, and the dances
OF the VartOns members Of the corps de
ballet are much %applauded. Broom has
an excellent show, Il one well worthy
of the patronage given it..
THE OPERATES Magic Flute" Mo
ZarJ's MASTERPIECE, was the opera last
night. Ii was given with the full strength
OF the company, and with a perfection as
to scenic effects aud cOstuming that left
nothing TO be desired. Formes made his
reputation a. q buffo in the character of
PGpGQepO. II was the PRESERVATION of the
evening. III the Duet with PGpGgeHG
Mime. DZuioa) in the last act, he crowned
an excellent and exquisite performance.
We have not In years seen anything to
compare with his acting, or heard any
thing to surpass his singing. That be
admirably and ~acceptablv sustained
and seconded by Dzuiba, all who have
seen and heard her viii readily believe.
She was in splendid voice, full Of
humor, and entered into the minu-
tie and detail of her character with
all the Zest, naivette and naturaluess the
immortal author could desire. To sum
mp, DZuiba and EOrmes were beyond crit
icism in their charactcrizatiOns last night.
They are artists. Miss Jackson, who ap-
peared for the first time as the Queen Of
Night, gave an admirable and exquisite
performance. Her voice is pure soprano,
thin and metallic, Of a -imbre and quail
ity that viii not resist the wear
and tear of time, but her execution is
that of a well-trsined and thoroughly ed
ucsted musician. Her staccatO IS espez
cially TO be remembered for the distincX 4.
ness Of its utterance aud the prOmptnesS.
Of every tote. AS an actress She ranks
with her cOmpeers, FreGerici and Johann
sen. Weinlich surpassed all his previ-
GUS efforts in the character of SGraStrO.
His solo in the last act was the
finest effort at bass singing We
ever heard in Memphis, and ne was
d~eservedly encored. There is nothing at
tractive II this character, and il is impOs-
sible for u performer to shine nit. Every
thing depends uponShe careful rendition
the actor confines himself TO his text.
Mozart could not have demanded more
at the hands Of Weinlich than he
last night gave. The audience tes-
tilted TO this. Frederici, as P0miad,
was all that could be desired in
that character. She played with all her
usual grace and sang with splendid effect.

one of the first of living tenors. The
scenic effects were unusually good last

all that could be expected. Tonight "La

consented to appear in a subordinate
