Broadway Theatre

     “Third week of the young, gifted and fascinating Miss Kate Reignolds.  Monday and Tuesday, July 17 and 18, she will appear in two favorite comedy characters, Donna Violante, in the comedy of The Wonder, and Cleopatra, with medley of popular airs, in the comedietta of Antony and Cleopatra, supported by Messrs. G.D. Chaplin, L. Mestayer, W.H. Hamblin, and a full and powerful company.”

     “This theatre, so late the scene of the popular Owen’s triumphs and later famous as witnessing the unrivalled performances of Mr. and Mrs. Kean, is still made exceedingly attractive through the acting of Miss Kate Reignolds, aided by a talented corps.  But Miss Reignolds is a host in herself, and the crowds that flock nightly to the Broadway are rapturous in their applause of her skillful and exceedingly pleasing acting.  The comedy of the ‘Wonder; or, A Woman Keeps a Secret,’ with the amusing comedietta of ‘Antony and Cleopatra,’ is having a successful run.  In the latter Miss Reignolds sings a medley of popular airs, in which she is very popular indeed.  A visit to the Broadway is almost as rich a treat as when Owens trod the stage there.”

     “Miss Kate Reignolds, who at present occupies the principal position at this theater, exhibits a variety of genuine talent which is by no means common.  Her performances in ‘The Angel of Midnight’ has already attracted public attention, and secured for her remarkable proofs of public favor; and last evening, in the play of ‘The Wonder,’ she gave evidence of rare skill in the highest grade of elegant comedy.  No other personation of Donna Violante in any respect comparable to hers has been seen in New York for many years.  In the lively little vaudeville of ‘Antony and Cleopatra,’ which concluded last evening’s entertainment, Miss Reignolds displayed her abilities in another class of drama, and won the most expressive eulogies which her audience could bestow.  She was well supported in both pieces by Mr. Lewis Mestayer.  The same bill is announced for this evening.”
