Amusements.

MEMPHIS Observation-Disclosures, mod
ern French drama depicting the times
La Pompadour, was presented by Mr..
and Mrs. Bandmann last evening, on
the occasion of Treasurer Shorts bene-
fit. The attendance was large--a high
compliment to Mr.. Short, considering
the Indictment weather and the great
musical attractions at the Greenlaw
Opera House. The play of Narcisse
is one of Tom Taylor's best and most
attractive productions. 1t contains a
moral drawn from immortality, and in
depicting the former the author has sue
cessfully steered clear of whatever might
offend fastidous ears that listened to
the tale of times when the French court
was mass Of seetking corruption. The
cast last evening was as follows: Mar
cisse," Mr.. Bandmann; Doris Quin-
ault" Mrs. Bandmann; Pompadour,"
Mrs. Nellie Taylor; :" Due de Choiseul, .
j. Wesley Hill; Count du Barri, G.
Norris; q" Baron st. Lambert" s. Ellis;
Holbach," j. f. Pike; " Grimm" w.
X. Lynyard; "Diderot," j. Weston;
mile DEpinay," Augusta Chambers.
The plot is simple, but is adorned with
sprightly dialogues and dramatic po-
sitions. The acting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bandmann last evening was deserving
of the applause it received. 1t was in,
teresting in the extreme, and the de-
lighted audience testified their pleasure
at the successful dramatic efforts of
these fine actors. Narcisse will be pre-
sented again tonight. Those who fail
to attend will deprive themselves of
many pleasures, created in the mind, by
acting of great power and attraction.
THOMAS CONCERT. The second grand
concert given last evening at the Green
law Opera House by the Theodore
Thomas Orchestra was largely attended
by the musical and fashionable people Of
our city. 1t is needless TO state that the
classical music rendered by the Thomas
Orchestra was received with the greatest
enthusiasm and applause by a highly
delighted audience. The overture from
Der Freyschuetz, the Fantasia on Hun
garian airs, the overture from Mendels-
sohn, and many other musical gems we're
given in a manner never before at
tempted in our city. The Concerto, for
violin, from Paganini, by Bernhard,
Listemann and orchestra, was a wonder
full production. Mr.. Listemann fairly
captivated and captured the excited au-
dience with his wonderful execution on
the violin. Miss Marie Krebs, the ac-
complished pianist, has won the ear Of
the Memphis public by her magnificent
music. Many Of our musical citizens
remember the astonishing success of
Mss Krebs some years since, when she
appeared in Paris and Dresden, and took
these critical cities BY storm. Io-nignt
