We are pleased to learn that Miss
Addie Reese the "Lone Star" comedienne, together with a first class
company, will open at the Atheneum tomorrow evening. During the
past few months we have seen many notices of this artiste and company
in the New Orleans, Vicksburg and Natchez papers, highly complimentary
in character, and feel justified in promising our readers, who desire
to attend a recherche entertainment,
satisfaction if they visit the Atheneum tomorrow evening. The
performance will consist of the lively comedy entitled "Fool of the
Village," and will conclude with the petite comedy entitled "Letty's
Troubles." We clip the following notice from the Memphis Avalanche:
MISS ADDIE REESE, THE "LONE STAR" COMEDIENNE--We learn that this distinguished actress, whose versatile talents and personelle has set half of the good people of the "Lone Star" State by the ears, is in Natchez, en route for this place, where we hope she will be prevailed upon to remain and give us a specimen of the elegant style of rendition that has made this charming woman draw homage from all with whom she comes in contact. The style of Miss Reese is a happy combination of the voice of Eliza Logan, with the sylph-like movement of Julia Dean. Having witnessed the magical influence of "Addie Reese" upon an audience, we can inform our young men that they must casemate their hearts or the fatal shafts of Cupid darting from the fair "Addie's " eyes will kill them quite. We anticipate manager Thompson's prompt action in the case of this Texas Exotic as we know his good taste and judgment in such matters. |

We bade good-bye to-day to Mr.
Louis Jorgelsen, who, with his family, is leaving us for a three
month's absence to his home in Copenhagen, Denmark. We wish him a
happy and prosperous journey and safe return, and state that we have
sent letters to England and Denmark apprizing all young ladies about to
be married of his early arrival, and to wait for the Squire to tie the
knot, and deeply sympathize with our own young ladies that he cannot be
induced to stay in our midst to do the like job for them. Be
glad, O ye Parsons!
At the train we also met our companionable friend John Rosenburg, Esq., who has been in the Q. M.'s office here upwards of four and a half years, and is now en route to New York city, there to spend a few weeks, when he will return to Cairo, and, we hope, take up his permanent residence amongst us. There may be better men than R., but if so, we are not acquainted with them. |
