Lolita AT H MEMPHIS THEATER.-
Lolita has always been q favorite in
Memphis, and has never failed to draw
crowded houses. 10 her line Of business,
character sketching, singing ~banio-Dlay-
ing, etc, she excels any other protean
actress on the stage. Her viyacity, odd.
tiles, grotesqueneSs and captivating a
ner are irresistible aud inimitable. To
young Memphis she is always attractive,
and as for the ladies' Of our city, they are
always pleased with the little Calilor'
nian. There is a eroiesqueness in her
acting which never fails to captiyate

Roston Theatre.-aMusette.,

Fred Marsden's drama of "Musette,"
with the yivacious Lolita in the title role,
was brought out last night at the Boston
to a good-sized audience. This drama
is altogether the best of the Lolita
plays" and as the author had the little
lady in his mind when he framed. the
action and wrote the text, it is no won
der it suits her well. 1t affords her
abundant opportunity to display that
charming vivacity and sparkling out
burst and overflow of fun which seems
to be chronic with her. The support
last night was the best ever yet given
the play.-BostoR Herald, Oct. s..

MUsETTE Little Lolita was greeted BY
a large and very bright audience last
evening. Musette, or the Secret of Guide
Court, is a better play for developing the
merits Of a little witch like Lolita, thar
any that has ever been presented in this
city. Lolita cannot be compared BY an
standard that is known in this vicinity.
She is petite, vivacious, funny, frolic-
some, musical, precocious, irrepressible
and pretty. admired by the ladies and be.
loved by all the gentlemen. While Lolita
was the bright and shining light, the ar
rangement of the play permitted the
other characters to be seer in a clear
light. Utica's old theatrical manager,
Mr.. c. W. Couldock, revived many pleas.
ant memories OF the old Utica theater by
his admirable persOnatipn Of "Adalanta, .
the gypsy chief. He gave a specimen of
his old time power in the closing scene
of the fourth act. Mr.. Locke, as Tim
othy Filters" was very good indeed. He
is an excellent character actor. Hart
Conway, as ".Sir Hugh Tracy" was ex-
%cellent, and o many admirers. Alice
Brooks in the character of Maud" was
favored with many compliments. Mr..
personated William A. Bokus,"
very acceptably, and gave little Lolita
material assistance in carrying out her
part. Mr.. Taylor, as philip Darcy"
and the other members of the company
supported the leading characters very &C.
ceptably. Lolita has added many to her
long list of friends in Utica, and Mr..
company deservedly shares in
her honors. The entertainment was full
interest and amusement from first to

LoTTA.-As we anticipated, a still
larger audience greeted this popular fa-
vorite at the opera house last evening,
Notwithstanding counter attractions in
other directions. Shers is no Disgusting
the fact that wherever this winsome little
sprite makes her appearance she carries
everything by storm. The play last
evening of the Little Detective calls for
her appearance in several different char
acters, in all of which she carries her
delighted audience with her. The play,
however, is not equal to Zip, in which
she appears this afternoon at the matt
nee to ommence at % o'clock. This
evening closes her engagement in this
city, and she will appear in the char
scters of Little Nell" and the MAR
chioness." Those who have seen her
will want to see her again, while those
who have not, should not give themselves
cause for regret by allowing her to leave
the city without witnessing her inimit-
able acting.-St. Paul Dispatch.

The largest audience which ever greet
ed an artist was that which assembled
at the Opera House last evening on the
occasion Of the appearance of that most
charming of all actresses, Lolita. Every
seat in the building was occupied, and
many were satisfied with standing room.
The play was a four act drama entitled
"Musette, or the secret Of Guide Court. y
1t is rather sensational in design, yet
containing nothing which would shock
the most fastidious taste. The title
role wal assumed by Lolita in the char
acter of Musette, who is the charming
little daughter of Adalanta, an ex-
Gypsy chief, who is old and crlsty, a
striking contrast to the little sprite who
continually kept the audience in a
round of merriment at her quaint say
ings. Il was the finest acting which we
have ever had here, and too much can
not be said in her praise. The reading
was perfect, and her very gesture was
suited to the wording Of the play. Her
gispy training taught her indepen-
dence, which was very plainly shown
whenever the occasion called for it, and
that was very often. The management
deserves credit for the support, which was
very far above the average, especially
that Of Mr.. G. w. Couldock who rem
dered the part Of Adalanta, the ex-
gipsey chief in excellent style and clio
tied well merited applause in the closing
scene, where he gave his reason for the
hatred which he bore to the name of
Tracy, one of whom had married his
daughter against his will

showed to perfection how oily and un-
certain some Of the human race can be
when they have others in their power
and wish to bleed them. C. Winfield

on the left side, made a hit as Billy
Bokus, the bashful lover Of Musette, as
did also her sister Maud. The remain

five might judge from the success Of
the play last night, Lolita will surely
favor Terre Haute again soon with her
presence, with the assurance that all
who have heard her highly appreciated

LoTTA AT THE ACADEMIA more sat.
isfactory performance, WI venture to
say, was never given in the Academy Of
Music than hat of last night, il tne
manner of its reception by the audience
may be taken as the Measure Of opinion.
Musette ia a comedy far above the level
OF the plays with which Lotta's name is
generally associated, and affords oppor-
t~uuities tor the display of rare bits of
acting by others than the bright particu.
lar star. 1t is by no means a one-char-
acter piece, and for that it is to be re-
commended. The plot partakes largely
of the characteristics of that of the Two
Orphans, being natural and easy, and
yet full Of intense situations artistically
worked up and finely presented.
Lolita as "Musette, little bright eyes,"
was the same arch, captivating, capri
eious actress as of yore, and the warm
reception accorded her testified Of the
strong hold she has upon the
affections Of our people. Time deals
kindly with the little sprite, and
the years set no seal Of their coming
and going upon her fair brow. Appa.
rently it is as ~unclouded, aud her spirits
as childish aud buoysnt as when she first
visited US. Last night she was ably sec
onded in her specially, singing and
dancing, by C. Winuifred Butler, who

port throughout, and should he warmly

we doubt if a better company has or will
visit this city this season. It includes
such artists as C. W: CouIdock, very ef-
iective as "Adalanta," the ex-Gipsey
chief; E. A. Locke, an old favorite, and
always "excusable" as Timothy Til

where all are so deserving OF praise. We
cannot forbear, however, to mention
Miss Brooke's Maud" a very finished
and artistic creation, which won for her
no small share of the evenings plaudits.

The first entertainment Of the above
combination at Fields Theatre last
night was magnificent success in all
respects. The spacious hall was crowd
ed with an enthusiastic audience, n
large proportion of whom were ladies,
who testified their appreciation by
round after round Of hearty applause.
The old favorite, Milt. G. Barlow, did
not disappoint his host of admirers
that were present, his rendition OF
"Old Black Joe,p in his aged negro
specialties, being especially worthy OF
notice. Wilson was immense, and his
Shakspearean recltations, TO use n stage

songs and dances and "Clog Par Tx
celence," sustained their well.earned
reputation rs the champions in this
line of business. The California quar-
tette are all so superior that 1t woult
be unjust TO particularize. Edwin
French and his songs, with banjo &C
compartment, were one Of the features
of the entertainment, and were wei
received by the large audience. In fac

Some persons in Dallas seem to be
laboring under the Impression that the
New Orleans Variety Theatre Combi.
nation, which will appear in Dallas on
the 18th, 10Th and Goth inst, is simply
u variety hall company. This is de-
cided mistake. The company take
their name from having been original
ly engaged for the Varieties Theatre,
of which Mrs. Chanfrau is lessee.
This theatre is one of the largest in
the South, and presents only the legit-
innate drama to the amusement lovers
Of New Orleans. This comedy COM
pany comprises some of the best talent
IN the country, among which we may
mention the charming Ada Monk,
late of the Furbush Fifth Avenue Com
bination, who is acknowledged by all
to be one Of the most pleasing and ac-
complished actresses on the American
stage.
