Theater last night 10 greet Little Nell in
{ the thrilling play entitled Ffdelia, the
Fire WGiG. Little Nell, throughout the
! entire play, interested the audience very
much, despite the fact of her long Jour
ney from st. Louis to this city. She is
a protean artist OF no mean merit, and
possesses 8 wonderful talent for one OF
her age. she has drawn full houses
wherever she has appeared. Tonight
Little Nell will appear again IN ~
detio, which cannot fail to afford
pleasure 10 the large number OF ladies
and gentlemen that will attend. Little
Nell has much improved since she was
here last. and is now looked upon as a
brilliant diamond in the line Of acting
size has adopted, and which she so faith
/ fully carries out. Tonight we expect to
see a large house.
wntghfB az Pythias Entertainment.
The Knights Of Pythias are making
arrangements 10 give q concert ana ball
at the Exposition building on the flf-
teenth Of this month, which shall sur
pass IN magnitude and character any
| similar entertainment ever given in
! Memphis. It is intended to make the
musical feature Of this Oeeasion COM
plete and magnificent, and in every re-
spect worthy Of the presence and appre-
citation OF the best and most cultivated
citizens. It is not TO be q mere concert, |
but magnificent jubilee, in which the |
leading musicians of Memphis, Louis |
vile, and other cities, will engage. The |
music viii he under the management Of
Professor Herman Arnold, of this city, |
who has already commenced his ar
rangements to accomplish something Of |
a a inv oh u
will have a string band OF sixty or sew
enty first-class musicians present upon
this occasion, which cannot fail to at
tract the public, and arouse a general in
terest at home as well as abroad. This
gentleman, who is recognized, and Just
ly, too, as a thorough artist in his pro-
fessiOn, assures US that the concert win
be superior to any ever enjoyed by the
Memphis public, with the exception of
the Theodore Thomas orchestra enter
He has determined to real
iZs his own as well as the Knights OF
Pythias's expectations, in accom-
pllshiug the desired end, and what
ever means in the way of music,
instruments and musicians necessary to
do this, he will procure from abroad.
The previous engagement OF the Louis
vile musicians for the eleventh of De-
cember has necessitated the postpone
ment Of the concert until the fifteenth.
The Louisville musicians will arrive :
here on the fourteenth, and have a re-
learsal that evening and the day follow !
ng, so as to be in readiness for the con- =
sert the night following. This concert
will be no humbug, but a true musical
walton worthy Of the talent, genius and Z
kill engaging in its programme, and I
viii not only arouse a deep interest =
among the people of Memphis, but will \
e the means of calling here a large
lumber Of artists from other cities to in
iulge in the pleasure snd enjoy the mag \
lificent ovation. 1t will give the public >
broad an idea Of the enterprise, skill : :,
nd culture Of our own musicians, and =
make known the degree Of appreciation "
nr people have for music and its artists. 4
4emphis has long needed such an oeea-
ion to display the talent of her musi- >,
ians and the character Of her artists in Il
dis profession, and we have no doubt -
ut this great concert will attract
aOre attention from abroad, and be Y
Fatclied with more eager eyes by our :,
ister cities, than any public exhibition =,
re have ever made. Arrangements III
re now beng made TO secure the pres -,
nee and assistance of several choral "
Ocieties, which would add material in .,
crest to the enjoyment and character NJ
the concert. We hope the different ~
Ucal societies Will find it consistent
nth their duties and convenience, as a..
'el as to their interest, to participate
pom this brilliant occasion, destined, as
Is, to surpass IN the quality Of music
