Memphis Theater.
Last evening the Theater was crowded By
the elite of the city on the occasion OF the pre-
sentatIon of the well Known opera, Fra Di-
Grolo, by the Memphis opera club. The
opera was excellehtly well rendered for anna
teurs. The singing was velJ good, aud all
that was lacking was in the acting, which
stage-tralnIug alone brings forth to perfec-
ton. 1t was a praise worthy effort fully
coming DIP to expectations of the critics. The
audience was pleased, and expressed their
pleasure by lnduigIng IN applause and forcing
several OF the leading singers to accept en-
cores. Among those SO honored were Miss
Minnie Hunter, who appeared as "Zerlina,
and Mrs. Z. N. Mansford, who enacted the
role of Lady Allcash." Mrs. Mansford APP
peared to advantage IN the above role, show
ing that she had a good conception of it.
Her singing was everything to be COM
mended, and she deselvedly received the ap-
plause of the audience. Miss Minnie Hunter,
appearance, and played the part cleverly, but
with too much dithdence, she displaying that
want of confidence In herself, which the au-
dience saw and felt was unnecessary.
Her singing was IN good taste and was APP
precisted. The applause which she received
was a compliment well merited. Daring the
progress of the opera Miss Hunter and Mrs.
quets and other floral tributes. The other
roles were filed az follows: Fra Diayolo, y
Mr.. VIM. J. Steel; Lord Allcash," Mr.. B.
A. Hollenberg; "Lorenzo," Mr.. J. o. M'Clin-
took; "Matteo," Mr.. L. Roescher; "Beppo, "
Mr.. Harry l.. Tomtnson;, '.Giacomo, y
Mr.. AID Refs; Francisco" Mr.. Fred
Refs. It is unnecessary to detail
that is well known to our readers.
