An amateur writer (but old in years.
who believed be could get up a better
article for a newspaper than any profess
slonal journalist appeared at the LEDGER
editorial rooms a few days since and
proposed to write q brilliant article for
the paper on "0ld Time Theatricals in
Memphis" Our literary man desired
to look at the manuscript with which the
amateur intended to shake journalism
from her tripod. The amateur had one
page written as a specimen sheet, de.

at Memphis" and it read as follows:

first company Of actors that ever gave a
performance at Memphis took place in a
cotton shed on Washington street, near
the corner Of Second. The manager OF
the company was a Mr.. Potter. He was
called Potter With a tear in his eye"
from the fact that whenever he paid out
any money be was observed to have a
tear in his eye. The first company ap.
peared in about 1914 They met with
very bad luck, and the enterprise was
abandoned"
Our dramatic critic mildly suggested
that the facts and dates set forth in the
article would not bear the touch Of in

sought after, and referred the amateur
to the files of the LEDGER of 1865, where
IN was printed q correct history OF thI
dramatic art in Memphis, when that ar
was born upon the bluff. The amateur
historian and essayist gazed at thu
paper, his eyes dilatsd and he exclaimed
Why, that drunken old fool gave NE al

which latter f~orgetfulness on bis par

before our readers.
