THE THEATRE-N[lLTON NoBLEs.-A large
and enthusiastic audience greeted Milton
Mobiles last night mt the Theatre in "A Man
OF the People" 1t is good play, though Of
Il sensational character. 1t pleased those in
the upper galleries very much, judging
from the continued applause from that qnar-
ter every time jack Rider (Milton NobleS)
appeared on the stage. Mrs. Florence and
Mr.. AlonZo Schwartz shared to q consider
able extent the enthusiasm OF the audience.
The duet between the two was excellent,
and for an encore sang q pot pourri, or
medley. which was quite laughable and
well meritcd the applause given it.
Miss Burt as Rose Warren was the
centre figure Of the play. She acted
her part very well indeed. Miss Egberts as
Maggie Ryder, Jacks sister, isa pleasant lit.
tie actress, and was well received. Messrs
Summers, Henry Wentworth, and Sam
E. Ryan acted well. Mr.. Ready, though
supporting an unpopular role in the eyes oi
the audience, went through what he had tc
do with satisfaction. Mr.. Florence, the
leader OF the orchestra and i member o
the Mobiles company. entertained the as
dience between the third and fourth act;
with some splendid selections OH the VIC
| lin. He is an excellent musician.
Tonight Dir. Mobiles will appear in Phe
nix, which Is said to be the best play in hi.

says that there was "a conflict Of testimony
as TO whether he (Lee Reynolds tried to
draw the gun on the deceased while retreat

he thinks that there was evidence sufficient
TO prove that Lee Reynolds. retreated for the
purpose OF getting room to use his gun, and
not TO escape"
alpha" has been misled. Here is :he
