ADJUSTMENTS.
TIE TneRler.


Last night Baker and FarrOn made
their debut in the new play, entitled the CIT
Glove, TO the largest house that the Memphis
Theater has held for a long time. All OF the
seats had been engaged early in the day,
owing TO the great degree of interest aroused
among our more appreciative citizens by a
full, vet concise resume Of the argument of the
Cut GJoUe published in Fridays APPEAL. At
least two hundred ladies and gentlemen upon
reaching the door were turned away because
there was not even standing room, much less
sitting space within. In view OF the descrip-
lion already published OF this play, II will
not be necessary TO give a synopsis of
IL now. Suffice TO say that the charac-
ter of the play is 80 liberal as to allow
Introduction and graceful exhibition Of that
rare, genuine hDmOr and versatile genius
which give strength, interest and effect TO the
acting Of Messrs Baker and Farron. In the
conception OF the play the author, Mr.. Clay
NJ Greene, OF San Francisco, California, Sc.
lected many of the best features, and aban-
doned most, if, indeed, not every vicious ele-
ment of the more popular and thrilling SEN
sational drama which of late years has proved
80 attractive. The Cut o ore is a good fit,
whether on the hand OF Baker as Jacob
Himmelmehr,' the hero, and then as Dutch
Mol" or on the hand o. Farron as Christina"
IN Tie Cut Gtore Baker and tarTOn appear 10
so much advantage. and seem equally as much
at home as they are in Chris and
Lena. Indeed, The Ont GL0Ue is one of the most
realistic OF sensational plays; every scene de
velops something of renewed interest, and at
no time is the attention OF the audience per-
mitted TO grow weak The mirth and humor
of Jacob" and Christina often serve 10 re-
lieye the audience of that intense interest
aroused by tue thrilling realism of the play,
as IL is oonsecutively developed. The rendi-
ton OF the different parts last evening was
unusually easy and smooth, and we have rea-
son to belisve, IL 81 well accOrdS with the Pc
ouliar talents of Baker and Farron, that it viii
prove equally as attractive and popular as
their Chris and Lena. OF course there is here
and there an occasional JduI pas, but this viii
be remedied by time. CHRIS and Lena will
be played al the matinee this afternoon, and
The Cut Glove tonight, the farewell appear
ance of Baker emu karron in Aemphi..

The attendance at the Exposition last
night was very large, and the enjoyment

previous evenings will be continued with IN

tue numerous visitors. Prof. Arnold's band
contributes its quota 70 the enjoyment OF Wis.
itors, all Of whom most willingly bear evil
