a Celebrated Case.
Of this emotional and attractive drama,
which will be produced at the Memphis
Theater tomorrow evening, the New York
Herald of late date says: "Niblo's Garden
last night was filed to OVERLOOKING by an
audience which, Judging from the enjoyment
that was manifested, evidently saw 4 Cele-
brated Case for the first time. While the
great size of'the house causes one to miss the
effect of some of the finer touches in which
the play abounds, the company is so excel
lent that the general action compensates for
whatever default may be noticed in this
respect by contrast with the performance at
the Union Square. The piece has been
superbly mounted in fact, with scarcely a
shade of difference from it, presentation at
the last named theater as regards scenery,
dresses and tableaux lean Renaud' was
admirably played by Mr.. E. K. Collier, Den
mis- O'Roarke' by Mr.. Charles O'Brien, the
'Seneschal of the Village by Mr.. w. q.
| Thorne. the Governor of Provence by Mr..
Edwin Varrey, 'Adrienne' first by little Eva
French aud afterward by Miss Emily E. Ba-
ker, and Valentine de Mornay' by Miss En-
ma Marley. AS the company have many
| times performed the Celebrated Case durlug
| the past season while 'on the road, under the
auspices of Messrs. Shook & Palmer, the play
ran as smoothly and effectively as 1t has any
| where In the country. The management
! have evidently made hit in presenting it to
| their patrons down town."
EOrepnugh's Circus ana NKenagerie.
| There is nothing in the range of popular
entertainments that appeals so efectually to
the popular heart and arouses popular en-
| thusiasm as the announcement of circus
museum or a menagerie. When all these
are combined in one it becomes doubly at
! tractiVe, unless it proves to be combination
| of a broken-down circus or played-out
menagerie, in which case it takes the public
but a short time to discover the humbug.
But a really good entertainment of this kind
is emphatically the peoples show. All
patronize it without regard to agA, sex or
condition in life. No one ever saw at a Cir
Gus the warning, "Children in arms not adj
mittedj" such a prohibition would by COM
mon consent be regarded as direct blow at
the rights ard liberties of the people, and
would be resented by that large class who
| deem it the greatest privilege of the whole
! year to lock up the house and take the entire
| family out to witness show of this kind.
The name of Forepaugh Is monument In
the show business, and Is celebl ated through
out the country. The great Forepaugh show
| comprises circus, museum and menager1e.
| The splendid collection of wild beasts, the
wonders of the museum, the acts in the
| arena, ETC., rank tins monster con-
Germ as a first class Institution. This sea-
son the millionaire Snowman has added
largely to his hitherto famous show in new
and attractive features, performers and
splendid and massive golden chariots, these,
| together with new ta5leau cars, Roman
chariots, ETC., all go 10 swell the features That
are to appear in this city on to morrow and
Tuesday. December 9th and 10th, on city
bluffs, giving two performances each day.
