MEMPHIS IHEATER.-Iheb beautiful anc
thrilling Irish drama Of Arrah ma Pogu,
was presented to fine audience at the
Memphis Theater last evening. with Mr.
7. G. Riggs, the eminent comedian, al
Shaun the Post" supported by the
really excellent dramatic organization o.
the theater. The cast was good through
out, aud the.play served to display the
peculiar merits of each member of the
company, better, perhaps, than any in
which they have yet appeared at that
theater. The part Of Arrah ma Pogue
seemed peculiarly adapted to Miss Eliza
0'Connor who rendered it with fine
effect. Mr.. Hurley gave an admin able
rendition Of Michael Feeny," and was
warmly commended by everybody. Mr..
Book as "The O'Grady," was occasion
ally very fine and uniformly good. Miss
Marie Bernard lacked spirit and ANNA
ton as Fanny Powers" She has a
fine stage appearance, dresses well and
E" looked the character" to the life, and
we think, with little more care and
study, she would have improved the rep
resentation immensely. Miss Katie
Mayhem carried the house by storm with
her Barn Door Jig" which she exc
cuted in fne style with Mr.. Chas. Plum
kett. Her song, "The Wearing Of the
Green, was also highly appreciated and
rapturously encored. Mr.. Riggs will re.
peat Arrah ma Pogpe tonight, when
those who we're not present last evening
should be sure to attend, as an opportu-
nifty of seeing such really fine acting as
Mr.. Riggs gives in his character of
Shaun the Post is seldom offered.
Saturday afternoon there will be Shin
Fame matinee.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE. = Mr.. F. S.
Chanfrau gave his third representation
of the popular comedy of Sam" at the
Grand Opera House last evening to
good audience. Mr.. Chanfrau in his
peculiar school stands pre-eminent, and
has made unto himself reputation to
which few have attained. His charac-
tiers are invariably well assumed, in that
he completely sinks his identity, forgets
his audience, and for the time being is
completely what he represents. His
makeup is invariably perfect, and his
acting in full accord with it. He never
strains to make himself the conspicuous
among all; he does not take the sue
cess which play necessarily attributes
to him, as matter of course; on the
contrary, he works up to them naturally,
and when the catastrophe comes its arri-
val appears as much indebted to his ef-
forts as to the text and routine. BE
is perfectly well acquainted with the
stage, and is consequently never forced
in his business. Everything is natural;
tricks do not stand out in bold relief but
fall into the regular course easily aud
gracefully. Tonight Sam will be re-
peated. The great sensation of Kit, the
Arkansas Traveller, will soon be pre-
sented with entirely new scenery and
effects.
