tanly superb. She ia thoroughly human
and delightfully."- droll. Her huInor, her
paihos and the thousand little artistic
touches that she gives the part are the
works Of an artist nothing funnier or
more artistic has been seen on our stage
for sometime. Miss kennetly's success is
not surprising. She is endowed with
quality that Lends to success. She is an
musician, vocalist and actress. She acts
naturally and wins hearts by hundreds.
Sho is the same jolly soul on the stage
and oil and is MS modest and unassuming
as any school girl, The fact that Miss
Kennedy draws heavily from the better
class of society and church going people
who seldom attend theatre unless en-
special occasions greatly adds to her repu.
tation and financial success wherever She.
appears. She deserves her success and
Americans have every reason to bn proud
of her.
