What a pity it is that each city in this great world of ours may not have its Kitty Cheatham.

Those fortunate peo- pie who were in her audience may tlattcr themselves that they were privileged tu hear one of the really great artists of the world Miss Cheatham is more than an artist. She is embodiment of all that is best in the world of entertainment today. She holds her public in the hollow of her hand and charms them to laugh ter or tears at will. She is a mar vellous pantomimist. her facial cN pression is amazing in it's effective ness. Her fingers tell a story in themselves. That exquisite voice sounds the depths and the heights of happiness and despair. Her diction is absolutely perfect.
