Mr.. Alma Montague and a small but Sc
lect company of players gave performance
of s.Monte Cristo" in the town hall in Bel
Ali, last Monday night. Mr.. Montague worked
under great difficulties. Much of his scenery
was too large for the stage, and to add to his
troubles two of his principal performers were
unable to appear However he used such OF
his scenery as would fit and supplied the place
of the absent players with artists who acquit-
ted themselves wonderfully well considering
the fact that they had only had twenty-four
hours to study their parts. Mr.. Montagnes
acting showed high order of talent and the
audience was well pleased with the perform

here fortnightly and his future appearances
will probably draw crowded houses.
