| night TO witness the musical extravaganza
| "A Flock Of Geese" 1t is of the popular
Kaleidoscope order, innocent Of plot or proba-

Millie Stanley Allie Drayton aud Florence
ID. Kellogg. ofthe latter the Baltimore Her.

Probably the greatest surprise of the evening was
when Miss Florence ID. Kellogg, n young lady who
had up 10 that time been something of dcmure
liltle gosling, stepped to the front and sang I'm
rait Illaiiiq from the opera of Mgnon" in style
mat would have done honor TO Nilsson or LuCCn.
Her voice is not as strong Nlssons but 1t is cx
quisiely sweet. md in what mny be called the
tricks Of ivocalizaon she is as versatile as mock
ing bird.
This littlo lady is petite blonde, with beau
tiful hair aud eyes and charming manners
both on the stage and socially, and has made
hosts of friends wherever she appears. The
whole company seem TO be fully equal to the
tasks imposed upon them, aud enter into the
