Il Is rea! enjoyment for a lover Of
fan to visit the old widow Bsdott, .
10 her comioaI characteristics At the
theatef. Even those who have been
to see her several times will derive
enjoyment at seeing others laugh. Last
night several lady visitors in the dress
circle were so oonvulsed that their
escorts indicated ~uneasinesS lest they
laugh themselves into conniption, or
some other sort of fits. The burlesaue
feminine, as acted by Neil Burgess, is
quaint and amusing as it is possible to
imagine a character. The elder is
also immoderately humorous, while
the whole piece is clever and brim-
ming over with laughable features.
1t will be repeated tonight.
THE zoo zoo.
This popular place of amusement
continues to draw delighted audiences
nightly. Change Of bill twice a week.
Miss Alice Gilmore daily increases in
favor, Kosure and Lamond are as
good in their line as any that have
ever visited this city. Miss Jennie
Oates, champion dsnseuse, is another
great favOrite. If you want to spend
a pleasant evening the Zoo Zoo is the
place to go.
THE COMING CIRCUS.
Next Saturday will mark an era in
the amusement season. Sells Brothers
great millionaire confederation Of rail-
road shows will encamp on the bluffs,
giving three grand performances dur
ing the day. The programme is W.
usually brilliant and the unanimous
verdict Of the press is, that nothing is
misrepresented. The tents will cover
several acres of ground, and the
attractions will consist of a me.
nsgerie Of mammoth proportions
which contains many animals never
before seen by Memphis circus-goers
and an aquarium Of the rarest speci-
mems. The collection has been made
at an enormous expenditure from
every quarter of the globe. The
arenic performances will be deeply
thrilling, and many new and startling
features will be introduced. Visitors
will not be annoyed by candy butchers
and lemonade peddlers, which de-
tracts so much from the pleasure of
other shows. Mr.. james Robin
son, the champion equestrian will lend
his aid toward making the arenic per-
Torrance a grand success. The herd
Of performing bulls, the Japanese
circus, and Cobb's miniature circus are
each worth the price of admission.
The street parade will be the most
gorgeous of its kind. One ticket en-
titles the holder to the entire show.
