The Pittsburg Leader Of a recent date
has the following complimentary notice
Of her rendition Of Little NelP':
This charmins. artistic received a royal
welcome last evening. The audience was
very large and very demonstrative. Her
exquisite rendering Of Little Nell is
we'll known, and her mischievous prank =
as the "Marchio sess'' we're as mirth.pro-
yoking as ever. There is a great deal of
pathos in her acting the role of Nell"
and this wins her the favor of the female
portion of her audience from the start.
She is a bright, vivacious little creature,
aud the "Marchioness'' was full of life
and spirit, dancing like a fairy and sing
ing like a seraph. It is not to be wonder
ed at that the little lady holds so high a
place in public favor. Judging from the
indications, her engagement this week
will be the most successful she has ever
played in this city. She has a fine com
Oinatiou supporting her. The entire
cast was satisfactory; the actors having
played the characters so often that they
are letter-perfect in them, and there are
40 heavy waits or drags during the enter
tainment. Katie was summoned before
the curtain at the close Of every act last
night, and her charming songs and
dances were heartily ~spplauded.
