The Memphis Club Entertainment.
To the Editors of the Appeal:
The entertainment given by the Memphis
Club last evening, of Mrs. Jdrley's War
Works, was in every way success, and as
inanimate individuals performed wonder
fully. "The Siamese Twins had grown con-
siderably since last saw them, years ago,
but had not diminished in brotherly sffec-
ton, judging from the loving looks ex-
changed. The "Two-Headed Girl" person
ated by Miss B. Levy and Miss Marks, be-
haved better than was expected, allowing
each head to possess tongue, which, how
ever, remained silent, to the edifcation of all
present. "Mrs. farley" needs no compli-
ment; as an actress she would have proven a
star of the first magnitude. Last, but not
least, the Disconnected Stage Managers"
rage was well depicted by Mr.. W. Kremer.
1t would be unfair to particularize where ell
did so well. To Mr.. E. Levy, the stage man
ager, many thanks for his assistance. and,
vending our way homeward, We wished our
selves girl again. MIsTLEToE.
The vOkes Family.
Last night the Vokes family began their
engagement in Cousin Joe and TIE Bellies Of
the Kitchen, before a good house. Cousin
Joe is happy trihe in dramatic way, that
nearly everybod has seen at some time or
other; but few have seen it so refreshingly
presented as it is by the Vokes. Mr.. Fred
Vokes, az cousin Joe," was excel
lent. He looked as if he might just
have arrived from the mountains of
Tennessee and Kentucky, SO true to life was
he Miss Victoria Vokes was hardly behind
her brother in provoking mirth. She Is a
very 1.-the vivacious little woman, and lends
a spice to everything she does. She sings
fairly well and dances like fairy. These
two were the life OF the farce. Bellies Of the
Kitchen is an extravaganza which resembles the
Brock and Photos in It's character. Itteems with
nonsense and fun, but it Is not near so good
as the Brook Although the Nokes family
have played it for years. there is ne evidence
of ennu in the way they carry it. The Trou-
badours always seemed to be bored to death.
Miss Jessie yokes as Lucinda Scrubbs,"
lady's maid with "airs and graces." wss IN
exceptionable in the part aRd contributed her
sha are to the fun of the evening by her dane
ing. Miss Victoria Vokes as MARY" sort
of Eastlake house-maid, sang, danced and
acted we'll. Miss Bessie Samson as
Barbara" kitchen maid, was giddy as
a sunbeam, a Feritable little mischief. She
is as full of spirits SIS a cat Is OF lives Mr..
Fred Vokes and his comic legs acted the part
Of hens hhS
capitalIy. The travestie on the RaisSreTi by
him and Miss Victoria WAS very funny. Mr..
Fasdon Vokes did some good dancing, but
his talent did not creep out in any other
way. The perfHImance will be repeated to-
night.
