MEMPHIS THEATER LAST evening Mr..
ALT Burnett, assisted by Miss Helen
Nash and Mr.. E. G. Salisbury, gave a
pleasing performance at the theater.
Mr.. Burnett's recitation of Over the
Hill from the Poorhouse" was easy and
graceful, as was also the selection by
Miss Nash. The best feature of the
evening was the " Caudle Lectures" in
which Mr.. Burnett and Miss Nash make
a most pleasing exhibition OF their
respective dramatic talent. 1t is replete
with mirth and lndicrous fun, and at the
same time illustrates a great deal that
is enacted upon the domestic stage, when
the household furniture and disordered
patience are the only spectators. Mr..
Burnett's sermon en- the Whang-Doodle
from Hepsidam, and his rlpid change
and character sketches we're highly en-
joyed by the audience. Tonight an
other performance will be given; also a
matinee tomorrow and an entertain
ment tomorrow night.
