THE NATIONAL THEATRE ENGLISH
OPERA.

| AUOul luo llDIeLlO6. we uOllceu many PERSONS
last night trying in vain to follow the text Of the
! opera, and for the sole reason that they had the
wrong book. The only correct edition for the
operas fin Miss Kellogg's repertoire is the KEEL
logg edition, and It is for sale only at MetZerotts
and in the theatre. How 1t may be with other
| operate organizations we do not pretend to say
| Miss Kelloggs reception last night was a most
iattering testimonial to her genius, and the APP
msEnihcent aorSi gifts passed % her bT admir f
friends, was only another illustration Of the hold
she has upon the American heart. The lower
portion Of the theatre was crowded until standing
! room was not left.
The balcony circle was equally jammed, and
fashionably- dressed ladies' To speak financially,

the house, and large premiums were offered for

popularity.

Alice. Mr.. Nichols as Arthur, Mr.. Morgan as

Mr. Castle rendered with elegant effect the clos

The flute cadenZa accompanying the song was

will not soon be forgotten by those who heard them
The entire mad scene was effectively rendered.
The voice, resOunding in her heart forever, had,
in her notes, its true and wonderful expression.
the celestial harmony OF the hymn of the nup.

Heaven for day OF rapture, were all artistically

tender expression of his rich and flexible voice.

OF the Countess. A rich entertainment, surely.
