The Thea1s-.
There was a small house at the The
ater last night, although the occasion
was the benefit of Mr.. Frank Evans,
leading-mau of the stock company. The
paucity of the number present, however,
did not dampeD the ardor OF the actors,
! Mr.. Evans admirably sustaining the
leading characters in BiGck-Eyed Susan,
The P1ris Commune ard Robert Ma
cdjre so as to command the attention
and interest the feelings of tie audience
during the entire entertainment. We
regret that Mr.. Evans did not have a
full house, for he certainly deserves
much of our theater-gOing public.
The Musical Lecture Eest Night.
Last night there was u very large at
tendance at the Cumberland Presbyte-
1tdL W IuC ACClulC Ul
Prof. Allan Curr, and the concert given
under the direction of Prof. II. Schulze.
The subject of the lecture was, "Music
and Society,"" and was presented in that
interesting and exhaustive style charac-
teristic of Prof. Cum, who last night
seemed to eDchant the audience by the
brilliancy of his pictures, and the apt il
lustration of the theme. Feeling and
sentiment seemed as the graceful expon-
ents of great truths and Instructive les
sons, and no lecture ever delivered in
Memphis proved more acceptable and
interesting, or was more appreciatively
received, than that of last night. The
vocal and instrumental illustrations were
most appropriate and charming, for
which Prof. Schulze deserves the high
est praise. The Guartette By Mrs. Miles,
Miss Hitzfeld, and Mesrs. Jackowitz
and kirkland, was rendered with effect
i've excellence. The solo, 20, NeUer, by
Mr.. st. Clair Hogg, was sung remarka-
bly, well; and this gentleman has good
cause to congratulate himself upon the
pleasure he afforded the delighted audi
ence. The flute duette OF Nessrs. Tom
linsOn and Wilkins, executed with such
scientific accuracy, was listened to most
attentively by every one, compliment
fully warranted by the talent of these
gentlemen. The other features of the
programme also claimed attention, and
merited the appreciation awarded. The
lecture, in every respect, was of itself
rare entertainment; but the enjoyment
of the occasion was all the greater be-
cause of the concert, which was con-
Quoted so creditably by Erof. Schulze.
Prof. MueIIeF's sOtres DaBsante.
The Memphis club hall was thronged
last night W tn ladies and gentlemen,
who had been attracted there to witness
and participate in the regular weekly
sOiree dG7lsoRte of Prof Mueller. The
German was INDUCED in by nearly
every one present, and ii IS needless to
say that the enjoyment was general.
Among the attractions of the evening
were the terpsiehorean maneuvers of
the professors from the Memphis edito-
rial fraternity, whose poetic movements
added no little to the amusement of the
occasion.
