the stage. Undsmayed by the reception which
Miss Kate Field met with, AID by the hard

dividuality, her striking personal appearance
forbid it; bat she will make her debut, proba-
bly, as Joan of Arc, character for which she
has the greatest admiration, and will restrict
herself to a limited range Of picturesque and
emotional impersonations.
