The music is pretty and catchy and
the mechanical effects good.

from the irrepresible Brownie Dude
TO the man who runs the calcium lights.
Naturally as I'm all eXtragavanzas there

sacrificed for the tout ensemble" but
the latter is excellent.
There was. however. one shining ex-
ception and it was i'm Miss Marie Celeste.

dience in the second act with her solo.
She was forced to respond 10 three en-
cores singing Coming Through The

Miss Celeste has true intonation. she
phrases well. and sings with marked ex-
pressiveness and refinement Of style. The
purity OF her voice ana the artistic charm
in constant attendance upon her vocal
delivery were very impressive
Miss Ida Brooks, as prince Florimel'
also possesses q delightful voice. which
she handles most artistically.
Miss Celeste will be well remembered
here
She appeared as under study TO Della

was last here.
Mr. Cox who by the way IS n most
pleasant man and who has a wonderful
