KATE REIGNoLDs.-City Hall was filled to
its utmost capacity last night, Kate Reig-
nolds, with fair support, appeared in the
three act comedy entitled, "Un Duel en-
Armour" 1t is a difficult matter to render
just criticism of Kate Reynolds acting last
night. The stage was too contracted and the
scenery scarcely delusive enough to bring out
fairly some of her best points When the au-
dience can look over the top of the scenery they
cannot wholly forget that the thing is put up
job, and that the platform is ordinarily used for
other purposes. Miss Reynolds, however, in
spite of these drawbacks upon the full appreci-
alton of her dramatic powers, threw herself
heartily into the character of the 'Couhtess
D'Autreval' and evnced by the skillful hand :
ling of her strong clear voice and graceful
muscular expression that she has not lost that
superior ability to impersonate characters,
which has gained for her national reputation.
Toifuly appreciate the nice and exceedingly in
terestiDg points involved in the scene where
the Countess foils the Baron, more room and
better scenic accessories are necessary than
were possible last evening; consequently the
Std bits'' of that scene were lost, although the
general plot was apparent to the audience suf-
ficiently to maintain good degree of interest.
