Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-10-06

It gives to the traits of the real plantation
darkey. Barney as a "Dutchman" or
Irish washwomsn" is simply inimits-
BILE. His "sweet German accent and rich
Irish brogue" would delight even old
Fuss-and-Feathers, were he not in the
land o. the lesl, and beyond all s%ublunarY
influences. SAM Hickey is also worthy
of mention, though his "Owen ConnellyD
in Bad Whiskey was a little overdone and
too boisterous. His brogue was eloquent

almost TO tears by his rendition of sold
Black joe" Wanting anything like
sympathy in a voice that Is noticeable for
its hard, metallic ring, he yet, by q care
full and clear rendition, wound
up his audience and forced a
silence that told how well il SYM
pathizsd with his efforts, the melody
and the words. The Trials is q very
lRughable farce, suggestive more of the
police courts as they used to be, than as
they now exist. OF course, 1t is over
drawn, and abounds in all sorts of gags.
Rymsn as "TWitters," Hickey ss Flip

squire, were laughsbly absurd. Mr.. Far

Carl Rudolph and F. 81. Murphy, the one
q tenor robusto, the other of softer n
more dulcet tones, sing with taste and
skill, n are deserved fsvorites. To sing
a ballad properly is to execute the most
difficult task that can be given q vocalist.
II requires what is no always on hand
heartfelt expression. When that Is given
the audience, no matter how untutored,
feel and acknowledge it. Fsrini, Ru-
dolph and Murphy draw upon the SYM
psthies of their audience to an extent
that bespeaks them cultivated singers.
The other members of the troupe are
good, very ~good-better thar the ordinary
run of the profession, and uphold the
''stars" in a way that, while it increases
their splendor, brings out their own powers
to the satisfaction of the audience. The in
strumentalists deserve high praise. They
are few but good.
A FAIR AND FEsTIvAL.-The ladies' of
the Presbyterian church OF Alabama
street have made arrangements for fair
and festival to N on the 18th inst.
and continue throughout the week, at
Rocco Hall, corner of Madison and Sec
ond streets, the proceeds to be applied to
the fund for the erection of q new church.
The good women who have this matter in
charge are actusted by a love for the holy
work, to the advancement of which they
have lent and still give some OF their best
hours, and are therefore eservingGf not
only the good wishes OF our people, but
of all the support and encouragement in
money and gifts that can De SPACED. This
is, we believe, the first time they have been
before the public for help, and we hope
they will have occasion to remember it as
remunerative to a degree beyond their
present hopes or ansicipations. The read
ers of the APPEAL must remember and be
ready to help this fair.
SCHULZE's CoNoERT.-We are gratifed
to be able to say that this affair, so care
fully prepared for and so admirably con-
Quoted, was q success throughout. The
programme was one calculated to enlist
the enthusiasm of all lovers of good mu-
sic, and it was, without a single excep-
ton, carefully interpreted. Mrs. Chap
zky was in good voice, was well received
and sang effectively. Farmer was all that
he is at his best with q flute, that in his
hands is the King of Instruments. He has
improved very much since he appeared
in public here before, and shows hat he
has been a student. Professor Seyfert
was equal to a reputation established
many years ago, and Hollenberg played,
as he always does, with taste, showing the
capacity of the violin for expression.
Tomlinson, the musical amateur who is
always assisting, and to good purpose, at
every musical gathering, was on hand
and collapsed himself. He is an accom-
plished futist, and a cultivated musician.
The gentlemen singers acquitted them
selves creditsbly. Schulzs was the lead
or, and was never more at home. He is
worthy all the honor and profit of last
night.
THE SILVER SHow.-On Monday even
ing next, Sam Sharpley's Silver Show
will be or exhibition at the thester, and
continue throughout the week. The Gin
ciDnsti Enquirer ofthe oh, in speaking of
the performance there, says: "Ssm
Sharpley's Silver Show drew a large su-
dience to Mozart Hall last night. All
seemed thoroughly delighted with the
performance, which consisted of wonder
full illusions by Logrenis, the great magi.
clan, and the astonishing fests of birds
and animals. The show is one of the most
pleasing that has visited this city for some
time The n Ost interesting feature of the
evenings diversion was, however, the
away of watches and silverwsre.
Everything was done in good faith, and
strict accordance with the advertise
ments. Barrels of -four, watches and ar
ticles of silverwsre of various kinds were |
distributed with the most reckless disre-
gard of expense. A poor boy, unsccus-
to such Injuries, drew a silver
and persons who evidently could |
put the things to good use, carried off sill
ver-plsted cake baskets, ice pitchers, ETC."
