It is said he gives a remarkable show, one that is interesting and instructive, as well as entertaining and realistic.

There are few actors or actresses who on the stage that have not at some are time played in a certain plays that are A Celebrated Case familiar to all is one of these plays. Many tearB have been shed in many cities, hamlets and towns over the sad adventures of Jean Renaud, the soldier and galley slave ; much indignation expressed at the cool villiany of the alleged Duke de Mornay. Mr. Kyle, as the soldier, Jean Renaud, is in marked contrast to the galley slave, Jean Renaud, and he plays the role with good expression. Mr. Edwards has a part that suits his tastes, especially in the acts following the prologue. He always looks well in costume and he made a handsome appearance, and his acting as the cruel imposter was strong and intense. Miss Bateman has a chance for a few tender touches as Adrienne. Miss Izette has. a new role in Valentine de Morney, a departure that scarcely suits her, yet she is so determined to give the very best that is in her that she deserves words of praise. Mr. Hatch plays ORourke, the faithful Irish in true Irish .manner, except an occasional dropping of the accent.

On the handful o' things I know. I don't pan out on the prophets And free will, and that sort of thing But 1 b'lieve in God and the angels Ever since one night last spring. I come into town with some turnips, And my little Gabe come along No in the county Could beat him for pretty and strong.
