MEMPHIs THEArER The beautiful
play of Colleen Bawn was presented at
the Memphis last evening to good au-
dience. Mt. Riggs appearing as Miles
Mr.. Shels as Father Tom" Fred
Book as Danny" Miss O'Connor as
"Ann Chute" and Miss Mayhem as
Ely" The cast was excellentthrough-
out, and every part, without exception,
was well rendered. Mr.. Riggs person
ated : Niles" in a style peculiarly his
own, giving such representation as
might be .pronoun ,ed faultless. Few
stars unite sentiment and comedy SO
nicely as Mr.. Riggs, and none, we think,
could have played the part of Miles
better. Miss Eliza O'Connor gave an
admirable rendition Of the character of
"Aun Chute, and l,licited the highest
e)mmendations for her really fine acting
Miss Katie Mathew as vEdy O. Conner"
surprised everybody, giving such i'm
ished and artistic representation Of the
character as we had hardly supposed the
little soubrette capable Of Mr.. Shiels
"Father Tom was very good; Mr..
Books Danny Mann, excellent. The
other characters we're well rendered by
Messrs. Rand and Hurley, Mrs. Hodges
and Misses Hathaway and Bernard. At
the matinee this afternoon Shin Fame
will be presented for the last time this
season. The St. Louis correspondent Of
the New York Clipper says of Shin
Fame: THE play is characteristic in
its leading feature Of pure Irish nature,
and could in no hands have been better
represented than in those Of Mr.. Riggs.
Messrs Rand Hurley, Book and Weston
gave their best support. Miss 0'Connor
as Ellen Curran" was efficacious.
while Miss Katie Mayhem as Molly
Sullivan was raptpropsly exquisite, dis
playing variety of sprightly action
which won for her frequent and enthu-
siastic plaudits. She sang Trust to
Luck very prettily, and was nightly
encored. The little lady is a favorite
here, and especially deserving" Next

GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-A very fash
ionable audience witnessed Mr. Chan
frau's representation of e SAM at the
Grand Opera House last evening, the
occasion of his first benefit. The play
was received with as much favor as the
first evening it was presented, and

Next Monday night Mr..
Chsnfrsu's great specially of Kit, the
Arkansas Traveller. will be put on the
stage with entirely new scenery. Man
ager I. w. Davey has been making prep
arations for the piece all the week, and
the public may know what to expect
from this. Kit created furore in St.
Louis and wherever else it has been pre-
scented, and il is likely to do the same
thing here. 8aHeHNGUl nf
