MEMPHIS THEATER.-A very slim house
appeared at the theater last night, prob
ably owing to the very inclement and
stormy weather. The Lisa Weber bur.
lesque opera troupe presented the Field
Of the Cloth Ct Gold, with Miss Weber
as Lord Darnly." The burIesque was
tairly presented; it was cut consid.
erably, and wound up before ten o'clock,
the troupe not desiring to play to a beg
carly account Of empty boxes. The
Weber troupe is too light for Memphis,
where q taste fer theatricals has been
cultivated up to as high point ss in any
city Of the land. A weak show never
prospers here, aud oil such should avoid
the place ii possible. The rule in this
city is-good attraction, good patron
age; no attraction, no patronage. Miss
Lisa Weber is quite a clever actress and
good vocalist, but she is ~wretchedly sup
ported. The troupe closed its engage.

The entertainment was in many respects
novel, aud in ell respects worthy of COM
%mendation. Those who have labored
uoder the delusion induced by listening
to the performances Of some catch. psnny
troupes-that genuine darkeys cannot
become adopts at a negro minstrelsy,
will be disabused Of that impression BY
visiting the Georgias. The singing is
excellent, and the fun is not only fresh
and sparkling, but continues throughout
the entire entertainment. The Ministries
made a decidedly favorable impression.
