There was another good house at the
Theater last night 10 enjoy Hi,mpty
Duwptg, which was rendered with that
excellence, ease and precision 50 char
acierisuc Of MT. Fox in this, his great
specially. The entire house was pleased,
the general EXPIRE sion OF opinion being
that il WAS much better entertainment
OF ia kind than was ever offered the
peop Of Memphis The play has been
iudlciOusly improved in many respects,
snd its every feature Possesses some
thing 20 claim the attention aud interest
the feelings Of the spectators. From
the time of its commencement
TO the last fall Of the eur
tain, the play affords an uninter-
rupted series OF ludicrOus incidents and
scenes, made sll the more agreeable be-
cause OF the humOr, mirth and swk-
wardness Of the characters introduced
Last night Fox was in one Of his happi-
est moods, snJ never at any time did
he appear 10 better advantage, or afford
more general satisfaction. 1t is worth a
dollar az least 70 watch the wonderful
cUntOrtious Of his face, and to note the
rapid change OF expression his features
assume so a. TO be in perfect keeping
with the feelings he is supposed TO have
through the Intricate misfOrtunes and
absurd blUBders Of "Humpty Dump
ry,n the role which he assumes
As s@rick panJOmime HitHlpty DltDipty
is unequailed, aud one VINO sees II upon
the stage will acknowledge that IL
sbOunus with ''ludiCrOus incidents, uri
Gus, r0llicking fuu, absurd adventures,
magical tricks aud unexpected trans
formations OF the most entertaining
character. The present troupe is goOH
one, and the members possess varied
talent enough % please most any dispO-
sitiOn, Among the specialties Of the
play may be mentioned the Orrin BROTH
ers, whose perfection in vaulung, bal
anclng aud calesthenical feats is some
thing astonishing and wonderful. They
perform the most extraordinary feats
ever attempted by any acrobaLs,
their LirOuettes and sOmersauitiDg
from shoulder to shoulder being
the most wonderful. Their hesd
balance last night elected uubOunded
applause, As did also the other wonder
tul fs8ts accomplished by them. Ms.
George Dean Spaulding gave an exhi-
bition Of her rare musical culture upon
the silver staff-bslls, cOrnet and harp.
Mr.. Spaulding aud his corps Of bell
players rendered Home, Street Home
with exquisite grace and in good ume,
SO well indeed that the audience would
