AMUSEMENTs


MEMPHIS THEArER.-Our peonIe are
exhibiting their high appreciation Of tho
gifted t~ragedienne Mary Anderson, by the
force they turn out to witness her per-
formances in the face of tho most exc
cradle possible weather, which has pre-
vailed without cessation during the entire
week. Her matinee exhibition yesterday
afternoon drew a crowded audience. NOT
quite a crush, but nearly so, and the play
OF Eyadne afforded them a most DELIGHT
ful entertainment. There were persons
present who have witnessed the piece time
and time again, yet sat throsgh to the
end, and at times manifested their delight
in the most enthusiastic manner.
The performance last night gave equal
satisfaction, the play being that of the
Lady Of Lyons, by Bulwer. Miss Ander-
sons part of Pauline could not have
been more beautifully rendered. The au-
dience testified their appreciation by call
ing her before the curtain several times
during the evening.
Tonight Miss Anderson will appear AZ
Juliet" in Shakspear's celebrated love
tragedy, Romeo and juliet. II is one of
her finest assumptions, and gives scope for
the display of the most powerful emotions
known in the wide range of the drama.
That Miss Anderson possesses the ability
to present it in all of its most graceful
beauty is certain. The following from the
Nashville American is q review of her
performance Of "Juliet" during her recent
visit to that city;
Romeo and Juliet attracted n fair au-
dience last night. Miss Anderson was Of
course compared with her performances
here,two years and one yearago, inthegame'
piece. One who observed all could see the
progress OF the true artistic. Webappened.
at the first performance Of " Juliet" TO
note a lack of stage ease aud grace. 1t
would have been awkwardness in a parlor.
but Miss Anderson, who could then have
moved with womanly grace and dignity
N a parlor, had not learned the art upon
the stage, which has a law and a motion
OF Its own-not nature, but an artistic
sanitation OF nature-that which. in the
perspective of the stage, will appear ma
tural. This she has acquired, and moves.
like a queen of the stage. In the play
with the nurse she has acquired a perfec-
ton in detail, a simplicity in action and
stage business which has made il A
very charming picture. In the t~ragical
scenes she has acquired a power
without overdone passion, without the
limitations which marked her earlier eff
forts. Her elocution was always unexeep-
tional, but she has improved Wonderfully
IN the fullness Of tone and roundness Of
the lower tones Of voice-and such a voice
as no actress on the American stage pos.
sesses-so deep and round in the lower
register, so clear and distinct throughout
its compass, and 50 thrilling when love is
the burden. We do not care to enter into
a close analysis of her outlet" but il
must be admitted that Miss Anderson has
acquired the place of the American queen
Of tragedy in her short experience. Who
disputes it2 Who else dares take and vie
with her in her range of characters. or
who equal or approach her in one Of
them?

TO THE MEMORY OF LIEUTENANT
WALTER HARVEY.


Whom Memphis knelt, crushed By her grief,
Exposed TO every crime,
Without q thought Of self, the Greys
Came marching up to time.
One Of that band, Virginia's son,
Proved worthy Of his State,
And never ainched when duty called,
Though knowing we'll his fate.
But TO his post he bravely stood,
As did the Grays Of old;
Though dark the clouds we're gathering,
His heart was brave and bold.
Stronger than mortal foe could be,
The plague marched without sound,
And, one by one, tho true hearts slept,
Beneath the new-made mound.
Death for a while withheld his hand,
From one 20 full Of life,
But God so Willed that he should fall,
hero in the strife.
Then sleep in peace, Walter, peace once more,
With the martyrs, brave and blest;
No sorrow now, nor troubles more,
Shall rouse you from your rest.
