Third and Fourth Performances of the
Two Orphans.

| Third and Fourth Performances of the
Two Orphans.
The matinee at the Thester yesterday
| resulted in q crowded house, the larger pOr-
ton of the audience being women and chill
dren, who followed the actors in their very
natural delipeation of the several characters
with an interest scarcely less than would
nave been excited in them had they been
looking upon similar incidents in real life,
There was, of course, a free indulgence in
tears in presence of the blind orphan whose
the mother sidv OF woman's nature,
and the applause which greeted the culmlnat-
ing points of the several acts told how effect
i've was the work OF the very talented COM
pany. At night the crowd was even more
dense than at the matinee, or on Monday and
Tuesday nights. So the It0O Orphans m ay truth
fully be set down as an unparalleled success In
Memphis; and what is more, a success every
way well deserved, because the labor of the
company continues to be maEked by the
unqualified praises. Besides Mrs. Harris, Miss
Langley, Miss Pike and Messsrs. BonIface. Left
| fingwell, Evans and Hawk, whom we have be-
fore mentioned as worthy recipients of pub
lie marks of esteem, we must set down Miss
Marie Stella, who as "MariellHe, the Outcast,"
der, such as must with continued study and
devotion to her art secure her, and soon,
,I very nigh place IN In .i her profession:
de Linieres," also deserves to be remembered.
Her PRESERVATION OF the gentlewoman could
not well be surpassed, and in the third act
especially the force and power of a woman SO
conditioned in life, and burdened with a
cret, were photographed to the life. Miss Liz
zie Maddern's ''Sister Gensvieve" is also
excellent counterfeit OF life. Characterised
by the quiet and repose that is usual with the
"holy sistsrh aSS it is very generally
Doctor" FarTen as " De Presles,' and Ryer
as Minister of Police" fill in admirably,
and deserve 10 be recorded as aids to a great
stage triumph. The increasing public de-
mand compelling repetition of the Too Or
phGns, it will be given every night during the
remainder of the week. Tonight, no doubt
there will be another crowded house.
The Circus.
1t certainly must he gratifying to the
grand old Snowman to see the greatest efforts
of his life SO remarkably appreciated as Is
evidenced by the immense crowds that visit
Old John Bobinson's circus at both the after
noon and evening performances since he
pitched his tents on these bluffs 1t is on
everypody's tongue that the like was never
seen before-his tents being filled at each per-
formance to their utmost capacity with audi
ences that, in point OF refinement and respect
ability, would do honor to the most fashion,
able theatrical entertainments. The old story
about parents must go TO take care of the chill
dren, is played out, for everybody frankly
owns up that they must go to see the show.
The attractions both in the menagerie and in
the ring are so great that the desire TO witness
them is perfectly irresistible, and those who
go once go again. This is actually the case
and because each performance is made up of
programme of attraction entirely different
from those of the previous exhibitions.
We have spoken of the artists and tHeir Won
derful performances and daring feats, and
can only repeat what we have said in their
praise, and add that at each performance
each artist has something new In his or her
line 10 prt sent, so that enc may attend every
performance and find nothing old or stale,
but all new and entertaining in the highest
degree. The present campaign is certainly the
grandest effort OF the great old showman's
life, and will surely be the most successful.
Only two more performances will be given
here, this afternoon and tonight, and If there
be any who have not already attended
let the opportunity escape them of witnessing
truly the greatest travelling exhibition ever
beheld on these bluffs. Pursuant to his time
honored custom, Old John Robinson has In
vited all the orphans of Memphis 10 visit his
renowned circus ana great menagerie to-day.
Such liberal kindness will be appreciated and
gratefully remembered by the people of Mem
phts.
The Ten Virgins.
This beautiful and impressive drama,
says the Nashville american of Sunday which
is looked forward to with SO much interest, is
much misunderstood by many of our good
citizens. Some think it SdcTiLe9e. Others
think IL an effort to 1mpersonate our Savior |
at his second coming. 1t is simply this: Our |
