GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-Jane Eyre, dra-
matization Of Charlotte BrOnte's wonderful
novel, was placed on the boards last night.
with Miss Charlotte Thompson in the leading
role. The rendition Of the character was
faultless piece Of acting-a life-like produce
ton that would have captiyated even the au-
thoress of the great novel; could abe have
come back from the abOdes Of the Blest. The
play is well arranged. and is filed with good
situations. The repeated rounds Of applause
that came from the audience during the repre-
sentation of the play compelled Miss Thomp-
son to appear before the curtain in acknow-
ledgment of the compliment. Mr.. W. NJ.
Harris, clever actor, played the part Of
Lord Rochester" in splendid style. and
most ably supported the " star" To-nisht
an attractive drama. entitled Only One Wife,
will be presented. This is one of Miss Thomp-
som specialties, and now that the Patti con-
cert has been postponed until tomorrow even
ing. we expect to see the Opera House crowded
by our most fashionable people. Indeed, bet
ter acting has not been seen in Memphis for
some time than that presented nightly at the
Opera House.
FRANK MAYo.-Nr. Mayo's rendition Of
Hamlet" at the Academy of Music. at New
Orleans, is thus criticised by the Times:

and reputation rs an exponent OF the Shak-
speareAn drama, Inaugurated an engagement
! at this house last night in Hamlet, before
Nne of the largest aud ences OF the season.

so.ca lied " original Interpreters than any
which prevail in the whole range of the
drama. Many actors assume to be great in it,
and 10 many is ascribed the panegyrie ofbeing
the - ereatest." Mr.. Mayo differs from such
actors as Booth and Barrett, in infusing into
the character much demOnstrative expression;
iudeoII. he is at times what might be called
violent" In this he oYersteps the tradition,
and fails to endow il clearly with those meta
physical attributes which suggest pensive-
ness foreign to violent action of the physical
nature. His personatioH had much force and
intensity. but hacked in evenness of intona-
tion atom and delicacy in the tender passages
ne was apparent in the interview with .'Ophe-
lin - The closet scene was effectively rem
dered. although bordering too closely on the
melo.dra matte. Miss Hawthorne's "Ophe-
ia" conn nended itself to notice as one Of the
most finish ed performances seen at the hands
of This artist this season. The tragedy was
mounted in good style. and acted by strong
cast
