When Opera House finished, and q successful

taste Of the Chicago public, the Times foresaw and
announced the fact that henccforh the Western Cont

abundantly verified Last spring the astonishing success
Of Zucchi, and Kellogg and Bcllini and Susni, and
others In this city, was the stepping stone TO perna
and lucrative engagement Of these artists and

The credentials of these singers were sent to Chicago

were returned to New York and the troupe at

At the present moment Chicago Is engaged in looking

the appreciation Of Chicago secured his success in
New York, St Louis, Cincinnati, New Orleans and Ha

endorsement OF their merits
