WALLS OPERA HousE.-Miss Kate Reynolds
made her first appearance this season at Walls
last evening, in "Nobody's Daughter" There
10 enough Of sensation In this drama to satisfy
the most ardent lover OF the impossible In ro-
nance. This play Is a dramatization OF one OF
Mrs Braddon's novels, and, like everything from
her pen, is made up OF the prial and the vision
AIRY. II Is full Of startling situations and sensa-
tlonal effects, and is well calculated TO draw II
10 several years since we have had the pleasure
OF witnessing Miss Reignolds' acting, but we
arc pleased to observe that she has lost none OF
her grace OF style, nor any of her fine powers OF
delineatory character. When VIC have seen this
drama through In all OF Its parts, we shall be
better able to speak OF her versatility as an
actre IS. We observe that Mr.. 7. q. Bangs, the
accomplished actor and gentleman, and one OF
the favorites of the Washington public, is en-
gagged at this theatre. He has troops OF friends,
who will be pleased to greet him again upon the
boards. The house was good.
THE GRAND DUCHESS was received last night
most cordially by large and fashionable Assem-.
blage at the National. This latest production OF
Ofcnbach has attained a wonderful popularity,
and its first representation In this city marks an
epoch In the Washington musical calendar. Mr..
II. l.. Bateman deserves the praise Of the yota-
res Of the lyric drama for his enterprise In intro
ducing this excellent operate troupe In this
country, and the thanks OF the dcnizens OF the
capital arc due to the management OF the Ma
tional for the early opportunity they have az.
forded them to witness Its representation. The
opera abounds in, nay Is, succession ofsprightly
and pleasing airs, with enough Of the martial to
preserve the character OF the piece. The singing
of Mile Tostee as the Duchess, and Of Mile
Longchamps as Wanda, was excellent In the true
meaning of the term, and the acting OF the former
surpassed anything In that line the public has
been favored with for years. Messrs. Gufrroy,
Deduc, and Duchesne made each very favorable
impression. Mr.. Birgfeld showed good general
ship as leader OF an orchestra. We may have
occasion to notice this company more fully dur.
ing their stay here this week.
