MEMPHIS THEATER.- This temple of
amusement was crowded by our fash
ionable people last evening. Every seat
in the dress circle and parquette was oc-
cupied, and the aisles were crowded.
The play, David Garriek, was thorough
ly enjoyed by the critical audience. Mr..
Sothern in the title role, Mr.. Bishop as
Simon Igrct," Mr.. Lytton as Squire
Chivey," Miss Rsselis as ada IgnOt,"
displayed to advantage their respective
dramatic talents. The David Garrick
of Sothern was everything to be ad-
mired. 1t was careful artistic piece of
acting such as could only be presented
by master in the profession. A laugh
able afterpiece entitled, Dundreary Mar
ried and Settled, followed, and, as usual,
the Dundreary of Mr.. Sothern created
irrepressible laughter throughout the
house. At the matinee to-day Sothern
will appear in his great specially as
Dundreary," in Our American Cousin,
and tonight the engagement will close
in David Garrick and farce entitled,
Your Lifes in Danger.
The WYHDHAN COMEDY COMPANY
We are happy to announce the return
of this fine company of comedians,
already great favorites in this city.
They commence on Tuesday next, April
9th, with the great New York sensation
comedy Saratoga" Since the last
visit here of one branch of the company,
they have consolidated and now form
one of the most powerful and complete
organizations ever seen here before, GER
tainly far superior to anything of the
sort in the country to-day, The opening
piece, Saratoga" was produced by
them at st. Louis after leaving here and
was placed upon the stage with fine new
scenery and accessories, which will be
reproduced here. 1t is most anus
ing play, full of sparkle and life through
out, presenting most brilliant series Of
stage pictures, depicting the different
phases of fashionable life among the So
called aristocracy of the the North, lash
ing their follies and foibles with the
merciless whip of witty satire, and pre-
senting besides wide field for the
many fine artists who take part in it to
represent variety of individual eccen-
tricities of character seldom seen to-
gether in one play. That full justice is
done to all the points of the dramatist,
embellished with artistic and carefully
studied bypIay as well as perfect
harmony of stage action, all who have
seen the Wyndham Company, and that
means our entire play-going public,
must feel assured. Another charming
feature of this exceptionally charming
performance is the elegance and variety
of the toilettes worn by the six or seven
ladies taking part in it. They are
quoted as models of fashion and good
taste, and each lady has a change for
every one of the five acts. The attrac-
tive qualities of Saratoga, which caus-
ed it to run an entire season in New
York, and reproduced faithfully by
the Wyndham Company, will be sure to
make it here great popular success.
