BENEFIT OF Miss KATE Reynolds TO-
NIGHT.-Last evening, the attendance at the
Theatre, was of that crowded description
which testified to the immense popularity of
Miss Kate Reynolds. Her Bob Nettles"
was gem OF the first water. The "Waddi-
love" of Mr.. Stuart Robson, rich treat en-
joyed with hearty laughter, the "Mon. Tourbil-
lon," of Mr.. NARROW was one Of those pathet-
ic rendtions which only great artist can ac-
complish. The Little Treasure" was
played for the second piece and was again re-
ceived with raptureus applause.
This evening, Miss Kate Reynolds takes
her second benefit. In order to produce
piece worthy of the occasion, Mr.. Langdon
and Miss Annie Senter Langdon return to
Portland. The play viii be "Romeo and Jul
let" with Miss Kate for Romeo and Annie
Langdon for Juliet. Great as Miss Cushman
was in this character, the Boston papers repre-
sent Miss Reynolds as being still greater
Hitherto we have known her as a charming
woman; this evening we shall have an oppor-
tunity of seeing her in the character of the
most loving of men. The love scene in
Shakspear's magnificent play will assuredly
be grandly rendered, and with Mr.. Marlowe
for "Friar Lawrence" Mr.. Langdon for "Mer-
Quito" and Mr.. Robson for "Peter," the piece
will undoubtedly be better played than it ever
has been in Portland. As the house is sure
to be crowded, we would advise an early APP
pication for seats, at Paine's Music store, or at
the Hall. Miss Kate had good benefit last
week, but to night she will have one twice as
good, or we are bad prophets.
