powerful appeal and holds interest
throughout.
apple Blossoms" excels in all
forms Of beauty; in music of un-
usual loveliness; I'm exquisite cos
tunes; in a plot OF absorbing inter-
est; in a love motif that is whole
some and in humor. The play Is
dainty, pretty and clean. The music
has a swing that keeps the audience
happy from start to finish.
The outstanding soloist is John
Charles Thomas. formerly of the
Chicago Grand Opera Company. Mr..
Thomas last appeared here in May
time" The audience made haste
last evening to assure him that he
had not been forgotten. He was
given such applause that he was
obliged to repeat his selections many
times. Mr.. Thomas has one Of the
best baritone voices heard on the
stage today. and gave the audience
a musical treat in his several superl
numbers. "I Am in Love- LITTLE
Girls. Good Bye" and you Ar
Free" incidentally. Mr.. Thomas il
