KATE FIELD As AN ACTRESS
Special Correspondence ef The C4itego Tribune.
New YoK6, June 1o.--Testerday wis field
gay as the Union Square Theatre. That is, Miss
Kate Field had Matinee at which she appeared
IN " Gabrielle play adapted from Dumas
,oeTe By her father and in The Opera, Box"
IN adaptation from tho French by herself. The
benefit "as complimentary one, extended, &C.
cordlng to the newBpaper-adrertisemen br
Mayor Wtckh.m and other distinguished eentlo-
men, and, according to the pla5-b1Ils, by tho
.aayor, Baynrd Taylor. Bret Harte, John Hsv,
stedman stoddard, and an imposing array Of
names. There seemed to be an impression
abroad that they would all appear in body,-the
Aayof at the head,-and lend their concentrated
glory to tho occnsiou. On the contrary, the
house Was moderately filed, chiefly With women

Field is one OF 4lisa Morant's debutantes, who
spring up under her hands with tho fertility OF
the weeds Of tbe field; every season brings
forth now crop that blooms and fuurishes for
awhile under tho encouraging sunshine OF
first appearances. showers Of bouquets, aud en-
thasiastio plaudits, and than passes away to be
aeea no more. b1hs Field, however, holds
some tenure Of life; she will not die. I don't
know whether Miss Field has PLAYED in Chicago
OF not; il there she probably played Gabrielle"
and You know what hea7y. stupid play it is
OF cou.ae 1t involves wo1nan's honor, but that
ia DO longer sufficient to interest US, unless it IN
wolves some especial piquancy in the doing.
Tho fact, happily, is not enough. The second
play. ''The 0pera~Dox," was rather sprightly.
When man supposed to be blind, but who has
recently recovered his eyosight is permitted to
remain in the room with lady at her toilet, and
who makes apparently hapbazard remarks upon
It, some amusement is eiicited, but the audience
Vas more indebted to Claude Burroughs, who
made it 1augh by his absurd iutonstion Of " yes7"
md 'Eh 7" To this complexion it had come at
last. For the rest, Miss Fields versatility wcs
further shown in an Italian hymn during some-
what comicl tableau in the Grst play, and by
Der rendering OF "Eath1een Mavoutnecn ana
! French song in ''Tte Opera-Box."
