difficulty in captivating the audience
at the Russell theater last night.
Miss Nickells possesses a very fine
voice with plenty of strength" The
Ottawa News commented: Miss
Rhoda Nickells, who plays the title
role, captivates with her charming
personality 40 soon as she comes on
the stage. But her biggest asset is
not her appearance. She is the pos

won her way into the hearts of
critical audience. who at last had the
satisfaction of hearing a leading
lady who could not only act and
look pretty, but could give to the
catchy songs allotted her. the full
value Of a beautiful voice"
Efforts are being made to arrange
for the appearance OF Miss Nickells
as Flora Bella in Fargo during the
