MEMPHIS 1HEATER. Another large
and fashionable audience attended the
theater last evening and witnessed the
Kurdish people present the Two Orphans
in a most charming hammer. II pos
sible the drama was more effectively pre-
sented than on Monday evening, which
fact may be accounted for by stating
that on Monday the Kurdish people only
arrived in the city at FIVE o'clock in the
afternoon, after a tiresome railroad trip
from St. Louis. The same care in the
" setting" of the tsbleaux or acts, the
same elegant dressing" and the same
careful acting by each artist were
plainly observable last evening. In
their exits and their entrances,
positions, actions, lines, gestures, in
fact in every particular, che Kurdish
people are the same every night. There
is no balk, no prompting, no forgetting
Of lines, no ~blunders; all works smoothly
and evenly as if the play was a reality.
The construction and plot Of the Two
Orphans are elegant pieces Of dramatic
art. In each scene new characters are
introduced, and it is an impossibility to
predict the result of the complicated
situations until the denouemeBt takes
place at the close Of the last act. In
the first act are introduced the Two Or
phans, Louise" and Henrietta" Mad.
