Maud Huh used to sing baritone for a living a number of years ago but she was a curiosity in vaudeville because sonorous sing ing Sse ey baritone voice and 1t is voice of ex- traordinary sweetness. Moreover, 1t is well trained and she sings with sym pathetic fervor that thrills her audi ence. Yes, Miss Renner's baritone is the best thing at the park this week.
 Refinement and novelty are the dis act with her pony and dogs. Every woman and child in Montgomery ought to see this act.
