ADJUSTMENTS.

drama is not so popular WIN MemPns
theater-goers as we had hattered our
selves it was. All the week we had Miss
Jane Coombs and Mr.. Charles Pope at
the theater, supported by one of the best
stock companies that ever grnced the
boards Of that theater, and yet the play
goers who have heretofore been clamor-
GUS Cor, the Legitimate" failed to turn out
and manifest their appreciation Of the
Legitimate by a liberal patronage, al
though for two weeks previous the Black
Crook had drawn full houses every
night. At the Opera House, Manager
Davey presented some of the finest plays
known to the stage, with Lawrence P.
Barrett, one Of the most popular actors
in the country, as the star, supported by
one of the best companies that ever APP
peared in this city--ihe same company
that has recently supported Mr.. Barrett
in the principal Eastern and Western
theaters to splendid audiences-and yet
the patronage extended the Opera
House during the week was anything but
satisfactory. We had hoped and be-
lieved that both theaters would be filled
to overlooking every evening during the
week, in testimony of our appreciation
OF the legitimate drama, and how much
we were disappointed in that respect our
amusement lovers know. This weekwe
are to have change.
MEMPHIS THEATER.-The Royal Japa-
nese troupe make their first appearance
this evening at the theater for an engage
ment of one week. The organization is
an entirely new one, and has never be-
fore appeared here. Their gymnastic
exercises feats of contortion, slack rope
and wire ascensions and performance
generally is positively wonderful, and is
well worth seeing. The following artists
appear: Minagana Gossee Geera. the
most wonderful double ladder light and
heavy balancer; Ozana Una Ketchie,
wizard top-spinner To Ko-Fo, tight
rope, cross rope and flying equilibrist;
Lok Lor Bro, prestidigitator, trapezist,
etc. Gang Yea, screw balancer and Ja-
panese Samson; Fitz Sarbro, the Japan
ese juggler; Toro Moskie, light and
heavy balancer; Go Sarbro, the beauti-
full boy of nerve; Tozo Ketchie and Olin-
'oski, the homeless boy; Miss Onsga and
Miss Olozo, the beautiful Japanese ladies,
will appear at each entertainment.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Tonight Miss
Charlotte Thompson, formerly very pop
ular in this city, will make her first APP
pearance for several seasons at the
Grasd Opera House as Mrs. Van
Dyke" in the intensely sensational play
of One Wife, supported by Mr.. Barrett's
splendid comedy company. One Wife
is new society play that has created
considerable sensation in the East, where
it has had great run, and our play
goers are generally DESTROYS of witness
ing its representation here. AS Miss
Thompson is az old favorite, and the
play an entirely new one, there is scarce
ly doubt that the Opera House will be
filed to overfowing this evering. To-
morrow evening Miss Thompson appears
as Camille" Wednesday, as T" Jane
Eyre" and Friday evening, the occasion
of her benefit, she will appear in her
great character of Julia" in The
Hunchback.
CoNcERT.-At the Memphis Club Hall,
this evening, u grand Sacred Concert
will be given under the direction of Mr..
Hery Farmer, for the benefit of St.
Mary's Episcopal Church. The object
of the concert is to raise funds to assist
in paying off the debt recently incurred
in the purchase of an organ for the
church, and it hoped that the public will
respond literally to the call made upon
them this evening, inasmuoh as they
are to witness an entertainment well
worth their money. The best amateur
talent in the city will appear.
