Heating, of the Memphis APPEAL, was
rested in New York last week, at the instance |
of Joseph Brooks, lessee of Leubrie's Thea
ter, Memphis, on damage suit for libel. |
Colonel Heating promptly gave bail. 1t is
pretty generally known that the APPEAL has
been very pronounced in its criticism of Mr..
Brooks's management of the Memphis Thea
ter but that its course justifes suit for
damages few will believe"
"A friend of Mr.. c. Mundinger was heard
to say Yesterday that when the embezzlem ent

case alleged against hun, and that Is for
the embezzlement of 81" The trouble into
which he has been thrown is sincerely re-
GREETED, and many persons were heard to
remark on the streets that they hoped he
would come through all right.
A lady correspondent, who has evidently
been badly treated, writes as follows: is
there any prospect of relief from the present
bad management of our Theater? 1t used TO
be that if we purchased reserved seats for
matinees we were entitled TO them, no mat
ter at what hour we arrived; and to get front
seats secured us a front view, unobscured. |
But at the matinee, Yesterday, number of
ladies uld not get their reserved seats at
ALL and all having front seats found, upon
arrival, that they were second, as the balus-
trade around the dress-circle was crowded
with women and children who had not
bought reserved seats. So what protection
can we claim when we buy front seats?
Please suggest some relief, and oblige
great many ladies who would like to attend
matinees."
