Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-04-07

Last night Michael Sr0gOD was presented
to good audience, and delighted one.
| The splendid situations and the thrilling
features of the play were not sighted. The
dancing of Mime. Cornalbi has been pro-
| nounced by all who have seen her to be al
I most beyond criticism. The acting of the
company was uniformly good. Those who
don't see Strogef will miss one of the best
i! theatrical things of the season.
New Orleans Academy Of Music.
i, The Times Democrat of the 9th instant, in
| speaking of Charles f. Ford's superb opera
company, says: "Biucc Taylor was witnessed
by a large audience at the Academy last
| night, who testified their appreciation of the
efforts OF the artists by frequent laughter
and rounds of applause. What could ex-
| coed the grace OF person and manner, and
charming facial expression OF Miss Marie
Bockell in her Interpretation of the role of
Phoebe? The fluctuations of Ben Barnacle,
'all on account of Eliza the superlative
virtue of the horticultural hero, and the
self-complacent villainy OF the schoolmaster
were brought out in strong relief. The large
chorus showed excellent training, and de-
veloped two excellent characteristics con-
| spicuous by their absence of most choruses-
unanimity and harmony" This fine troupe
will begin weeks engagement at the The
alter in this city on Monday evening, the
| 18th instant, and will present a different
opera to our people each night.
