MEMPHIS THEATER.--Robertson's play
of Caste was splendidly rendered by the
Wyndham Comedy Company last even
ing The company has been consider
ably strengthened in numbers as we'll as
talent since its FIRST appearance in this
city The leadin position, so ably sus-
tanned by Miss Moore during the first APP
pearance of the company in Memphis,
is at present filed by Miss Margaret
Young, who comes to us highly recon-
mended by the newspaper critics of other
cities. There was q freshness, archness
and captivating charm about the acting
of Miss Moore which will not soon be
forgotten by our thaater-goers; conse-
quently last night the critics could not
fail to bring Miss Young into comparison
with her predecessor. Miss Young was
suffering from severe cold, which af-
fected the tones of her voice; but as the
comedy progressed her acting developed
artistic talent of a high order, and the
interest Of the audience increased up to
the fall of the curtain. Her acting Gre
ated in the mind a desire TO see her again
in the varied characters to be produced
during the week.
Mr.. Wyndham, as Captain Haw-
tree" was of course good He is an
actor of recognized merit and ability,
and the little he had to do last night
was done well, as is every part he under
takes.
The cast of the play was excellent,
showing that the company is thoroughly |
trained and is self-supporting. The
" Eccles " of Mr.. Ryan was comical in
the extreme, and the part was full of
good hits at aste"-both high and
low, The never-ending war between
classes was well portrayed and de-
servedly ridiculed in the well sustained
dialogues. The "D'Alroy" of Mr..
Fitzgerald was acceptable, as was the
Sam Gerridge" of Mr.. Giddens.
Miss Sidney Cowell, in the character
Of " Polly Eccles," won public favor at
once, and carried off no small amount
Of the honors during the evening. To
night the well known military play Of
Ours will be presented, and crowded
and Fashionable house will be the result.
Owing to the illness OF Miss Annie
joodall the operatta Of Mephisto's Mis-
ion and the comedy Of Still Waters
Run Deep viii be postponed until next
Thursday evening" and Caste will be
for them tomorrow evening.
The engagement of the Wyndham com
,any will be successful, and the theater
viii be crowded during the week by all
overs of good acting, high comedy and
egitimate drama.
