MEMPHIS THEATER.-A crowded house APP
peared at tho matinee given by Treasurer
Short yesterday, on which occasion the extrav-
aganxa, Flick and Flock. was presented BY
the Mafitt and Bartholomew combination
and pantsmimic troupe in most laughable,
yet artistic, manner. The jueglers. acrobats,
ballet troupe. gymuasts and trained animals
created the liveliest interest. and brought
forth rounds of applause from the spectators.
Last evening new pantomime, entitled Jack
and Gill, was presented. 1t is full to over
flo wing with grotesque situations and humor-
Gus incidents. Stage Manager Jones thor
oughly understands the pantomime business.
and gets everything up in the most artistic
manner Tonight Jack and Gill will be pre-
sented again. and no doubt to crowded
house. Tomorrow there win be grand mat
inee, and next Monday the Wagner Ministries
will commence a weeks engagement.
GRAND OrERA HOUSE. = Notwithstanding
that the cold north wind swept the streets last
evening, the Grand Opera House secured a
large and fashionable audience. light COM
edietta, the Two Puddifoots, was presented in
advance Of the regular comic opera, the Child
of the Regiment. Buckstone's opera is full of
good music. striking situations and incidents.
As a military and musical drama it will hold
the stage. at least as long as Mrs. Oates con-
times TO present 1t in the style of last even
ing. The caste was very good, Mr.. Crane
taking the part Of ''Pumpernickle. " Mr.. How
son, sergeant Scalade;" Mr.. Drew. " Gull
lots" Mr.. Pratt. "Duke de Grandtete;" and
Miss Fraser. duchess de Grandtete !" the
title role being reserved for Mrs. Oates. Itwas
generally considered that as the Child of the
Regiment Mrs. Oates appears to better advan-
tage than in any opera contained in her roper
toire. The musical gems Of the evening were
the trio from Atilla. the SOLO" Goodbye.
Sweetheart, Goodbye by Mrs. Oates. and
the glorious song, LA sabre de mon
PEREZ" by Mr.. Drew and Mrs. Oates, and cho-
rus by the troupe. This latter song was finely
rendered. We prefer. however, the manner
of holding the saber adopted by NJ lie Aimee
to that selected by Mrs. Oates. Aimee holds
it before her as if itwere a cross, and kneeling
invokes it to shield her lover, as it had her
father on many a well fought field. Mrs. |
Oates holds it in both hands ready for presen-
tation to "Guillot." These are minor mat
ters, but the stage effect is considerably hight
ened by the dramatic style adopted by Aimee.
Tonight Mrs. Oates will appear in another of
her specialties. the Prima Donna Of Night.
This being her benefit night, large and fash
enable attendance may be expected.
