In nil respects the performance Of ss Lucia u
on Friday evening was the best and most ef
fective the Kellogg Troupe has g1ven this season
The cast was very strong one, including Miss
Kellogg, Miss Lancaster, and Messrs. Mas
Carleton, Comfy, and Turner, aud the chorus
was specially spirited and well up to it's work
Lucia, as is well known. is one of Miss Ke}logg'e
best parts, and one which she always sings with
great 1eryor and artistic finish, but it is rare
that she has had such excellent artists in the
cast before, so that the ensemble was more than
usually complete. We need not 60 into any de-
tails as to Miss kcllosgs success in Lucia. That
would be but repetition Of what sc have
written over and over again. There is but one
number in fact tlat We need notice, and that
is the SeStcttc.- All before this number
is simply gradual working up to it i'll so1os
and duets, ard all after it is concentrated
misery The Sextette is the elimination Of the
work, and it has rarely mustered better voices
than sang it on this occasion. Soloists, chorus,
and orchestra worked har1noniously tueethcr,
and the effect was superb. 1t was followed By
most enthusiastic as well as Irresistible de-
mand for an encore, which was gTauted. Mr..
Mas deserves special credit for his magnificent
singing in this scene and for his unusual dis
play ot dramatic ability In his delivery Of the
curse he broke through his conventional cold
ness and astonished The audience with mag
nihcent burst Of passion and fury. and in the
last act Was more than usually spirited. Mr..
Conly's splendid voice also added greatly to
the effect Of the nu1nter and throughout the
whole work, although his part is q small one,
his singing was something better than We naye
heard lrum any basso lere since Henri D1ay-
toms time. In faet, the mantle OF that great
artist seems to lave fallen upon Alr. Conly's
shoulders He is one ct the very few genuine
tassos That have appeared here, and is destined
to make great nuulc in the lnuslca1 world. Iu
another respect: the performance was greatly
hciped by tie cast Ut tint excellent tenor, Sir.
Turner, in 1hc minor role OF drthur, which for
the first time has really been sung in this city,
The success, vi the Stxtctlc was parulle1cd by
the succcst; OF the whole performance, and the
audience recognized it by calling the artists be-
fore the curtain at the end o1 each act. TIE
season closed yesterday AFTERNOON with the
production ot the s'North Starr Of
which ne ncca say nothing, as the cast
and performance were identical with those Of
wecl before last The season IS whole has
been thoroughly enjoyable aud is in decided con-
trast With that Wllich Mr Strakosc1 gave us fer
weeks since The troupe is billed for Cincin-
natl tAis week and will produce tAisnun,''
The FLYING Dutchman, ~ Star OF tue Aorth,''
and the Bohemian Girl.'
