MExPHIs 0PERA CLuB.-The matinee
at the Memphis TheAter Saturday after
noon by this club was largely attended
f Fra Disvelo being the opera. The operl
} was rendered in an effective and brilliant
style, Miss Jennie Jones sustaining the
role "Zerlina" and Miss Kate Harmar
that of Lady Allcssh" with charming
accuracy. Mr.. Hollenberg as lord
Allcash," Mr.. MoClintock as Lorenzo
and Mr.. Deverall as FRA Diavolo," and
Messrs. Refs aud Petersen as bandits
sustained their respective roles in an
artistic manner Professor Winkler has
demonstrated the fact that an amateur
opera company can be organized and
perfected so as to sing in consouance
with a full orchestra. Especially is this
true when Professor Gao. Hsndwerker
has charge of the orchestra. In this
connection We would suggest the propri.
ETY. of an orchestral concert by Prof,
HandBerker at no distant day. The
Memphis Opera Club is now almost an
assured organization for the future. An
other opera by this club is in course Of
preparation.
Miss HARNAE's HoEKXNoOX.-A CON-
plimentary benefit will be given st the
Memphis Theater by the German Casino
Club 10 Miss Kate Hartman tomorrow
night, upon which occasion Honeymoon
aud Our Jemimy will be played. This
entertainment should receive the cordial
support Of the Memphis public, for Miss
Hartman is a young lady of rare talent
aHd superior personal merit, aud has
never failed to contribute her services to
charitable and bevolent benefits. No
young person in this community is more
entitled to consideration and spprecia-
lion than this beautiful and talented lady,
whose amisbility Of disposition, social
gracss aud brilliant talent in music and
drama have already given her a high
niche in the pantheon Of aesthetic ex-
c~ellence. We hope to see a tull house
for We feel assured that in addition to
the %meritOrious object of the benefit the
entertainment will be ooo Of the most
pleasing and fashionable Of the season.
