ADJUSTMENTS.


MEMPHIS THEArER.-Ben DeBar APP
pearea again as "Falstaff last night.
The play, Merry Wives of Windsor, was
well put on the stage, and was highly
enjoyed by the audience. Mr.. DeBar is
probably the best Falstaff on the
American stage at present. 1t would
seem that he has taken the great Hackett
as a model, and closely does he follow
Hacketts rendition of the role. In
make up" speech, manner and ges-
ture, DeBar gives us Falstat ire
sistably humorous-just such a char
acter as Shakespeare creates. The mem
bers of the stock company gave most
creditable support. Tonight "Falstaf
will again appear upon the stage but
this time in Henry w. Two weeks ago
Mr.. Couldock appeared in the role, and
we have now an opportunity of seeing
DeBar in the same part. The cast is as
follows: Falstaff," Mr.. DeBar; Hot
spur" Mr.. Evans; Prince of Wales
Mr.. Knowles Henry ~" Mr.. More
land; Worcester Mr.. Lang, " Fran
els" Mr.. Everett; Lady Percy" Mrs.
Hamilton; Mrs. Quickly Miss Ander-
son, etc. There viii be a New Years
matinee to morrow, at which "Balstaff
will be the attraction.
DIyoRoE.-The sensational and popu-
lar society play Divorce will be pre-
sented at the Memphis Theater next
Monday evening by Furbish's Fifth
Avenue Theater Combination. Those
who remember the Windham Comedy
Company viii be pleased to learn that
Furbishs Combination is superior and
more attractive as delineators ofgenteel
comedy and society plays.
TIE GARRicK CLUB.-The benefit for
the Memphis orphans at the theater
next Saturday evening, under the direc-
ton of Lou Leubrie. Esq, is certain to
be a grand success. Notwithstanding
its being Saturday night, which custom
has stricken from the list OF fashionable
nights, all the elite Of the city will attend
this performance. The noble and chart
table object for which it is given should
alone eli the house. An excellent per
formance, however, is promised. Richie
lieu viii be presented on scale Of mag
nifeence never before attempted by
amateurs. The most gorgeous costumes
will be gotten up expressly for the occa-
sion. The wellknown attorney, Mr..
Eugene Lehman, will appear as Richie
lieu" in which character he is said to
excel many professionals who play the
part. Mr.. Lou Leubrie as Joseph,
Sam May as DeMauprat,' Joe Brooks
as Baradas, and all the members Of
the Garrick Club in the remaining cast
We hope to see an OVERLOOKING house to
make the benefit a bumper.
MASQUERADE BALL.-Another grand
mask ball viii come of at the Ex-
position building tonight, and, from
the success Of the one last week, the
forthcoming masquerade promises to be
magnificent affair. The arrangements
are in the hands Of the same well known
gentlemen who so successfully managed
the one OF Tuesday night last, and their
names are a sufficient guarantee that
every effort will be made TO insure the
best order and decorum, and secure the
enjoymentof all who attend. The nam
moth building will be brilliantly lighted
up and comfortably heated throughout.
