ADJUSTMENTS.

n
of La Grande Duchesse, with Aimee in
the title role, attracted an appreciative
audience TO the Memphis Theater, not
withstanding the Lenten season, which
kept numbers Of admirers OF opera
boufIe and lovers of good music at home
observing fasts. La Grande Duchesse
was feast of music. The song, La
sabre de mon pere," and the drinking
song in the last act were exquisitely
rendered, while the cherus was superior
to anything we have been acquainted
with in this city. Aimee was, as usual,
brilliant, arch and piquant, sang well
and acted superbly. M. Juteau made a
most favorable impression as Fritz.
He has a good tenor voice, and acted
the part cxcellently well. Mr.. Marcas
as Baron Puck" NJ. Berthon as
Prince Paul." and M. Duchesne as
General Boum," gave general
satisfaction, and showed themselves
to be experienced artists. Mile Roland
a clever and animated songstresS, APP
reared as Wanda and gave spirited
sketch Of the character, as the rustic
love Of Fritz There is a dash and
graceful naughtiness about La Refine
des Bogfes that captures the audience
at once and creates the desire to again
behold her in other roles. The orches-
trail part of the performance, under the
direction of M. Van Ghele, YVES superior
in point of excellence. The stage cos
tunes were all that could be desired;
and as a whole, the performance was
remarkably complete and successful. 1t
is impossible to pass more agreeable
or merrier evening than at the Memphis
Theater, now that the season of opera
bouffe is fairly under way. Tonight
Ofenbach's most tuneful and amusing
work-Genevisv de Brabant-will be
presented, with Mile Marie Aimee in a
character never before assumed in this
city, that of the page "Drogan." Mile
Bonelli will make her debut as Gene
We've" and Messrs. Lecuyer and Marcas
will appear as the celebrated gendarmes.
This is sufficient attraction to fill the
Memphis Theater to overhowing-a trib-
ute that Aimees champagne-like enter
tainments and fine operate troupe most
undoubtedly deserve. The prices Of adj
mission are 81 for reserved seats, and
general admission, without reserved
seats, 81. 1t is impossible to meet ex-
penses, with such an extensive troupe
as this, to charge less. In New York
prices of admission to all first-class en-
tertainments is 81 so, and opera from
81 50 to So; therefore the adopted scale
Of prices for the Aimee opera is quite
reasonable. Tomorrow evening Barrie
Bleue will be the attraction.
GRAND OPERA HOUsE.-Escaped from
Sing Sing was again presented at the
Opera House last evening by Dominick
Murray, supported by the dramatic com
pany. The drama has had very good
run, something remarkable in q city
where dramatic runs are not the gen
eral rule. Mr.. Murray by his clever
acting and talent keeps up the interest
of the piece to its close. He is q protean
actor, doing all roles in artistic style.
Tonight Escaped from Sing Sing will be
repeated for the last time and will give
way tomorrow evening to a most popu-
lar drama, Arrah-na-Pogue, in which
Mr.. Murray will appear as Shaun the
Post" and in which character he has but
few equals,
TREASURER McCLUSE's BENEFIT. -
Next Friday evening will come of the
complimentary benefit rendered to
Treasurer Mcclure, Of the Grand Opera
House. On that occasion nominick
Murray will appear in his specialties,
Awah-na-Pogue and the Golden Bubble.
In addition to these dramatic attrac-
tions, Mr.. Isaac Curtis has volunteered
to do his rope feat entitled the "Dayen-
port Brothers Exposed" and will allow
the audience TO tie him fast with one
hundred feet Of rope, he then to extri-
cate himself without leaving the stage
and in sight Of the audience.
