MEMPHIS THEATER. -Marshalrs Royal
Tycoon Troupe of Japanese made their
appearance at the Memphis Theater last
night for the first time, and created a
sensation. Their performance is simply
wonderful. We never saw anything like
I it before. The idea of man climbing
slack.rope twenty or thirty feet to get
to slick pole hanging perpendicular
from the ceiling, and then sit gracefully
down after the manner of leech and
coolly fan himself, as if it were the
easiest thing in the world. We have
heard Of a man waltzing off on his eye
brow" and other seeming absurdities,
and we have seen balancing on the chin,
the hand forehead, etc. but it remained
for one Of the Tycoons to show us how
to balance on his left ear. He had
nearly enough stock for china
and furniture store combined, and
this on a slender stick. He bal
anced in every conceivable way
bringing down the house every time by
the dexterity displayed in every change.
Miles Omega and 0logo gave trapeze
performance such as we have never seen
before, and slipped about on slippery
bamboo with all the grace aud dignity
imaginable. Ifyou want to see feats OF
strength, Of sleight of hand, of agility, Of
contortion--in short, if you would see an
exhibition Of the wondrous and wonder
full witness the performance Of the Japs
this evening. See how perfect is the
physical organization Of man, and go
home from the Performance, as you will,
with an idea that with man there is moth
ing physically impossible, not even the
difficult feat of waltzing on his left ear.
Everybody should go to see the Japs.
