THE READING ROSTRUM. —Miss KKL
LOGG'S ENTERTAINMENT—It is as though
this roar of the tempest ha I suddenly stilled
and the tierce battling of the elements had
"soothed its wrinkled front;" the sunshine
breaking from the gloom and the birds twit
tering in the trees again—to mark the con
trast between the overture of Miss K ELLOGG'S
entertainment audits succeeding parts.
To blend Shakespearen " selections" with
the light chaff of the "Biglow Papers," the
dialect humor and somewhat diluted pathos
of BRET HAUTE and Mrs. STOWE seasoned
with a simple idyl in Mrs. BROWNING'S
lightest vein—is, to say the least, a bold in
novation upon Miss KELI.OG'S earlier enter
tainments. Had the prelude been lighter
and the climax ascended to a more seasona
ble pitch, preparing the mind and soothing
the neryes for the more ambitious efforts of
the reader and the profouuder genius of the
author she essayed to interpret, we should
have been struck mith a finer fitness of things.
Let it be said down imprimis that 110 lay

is Curlyle's definition of genius), the elocu-
TOWANDA, PA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1881.
tionist must exercise who courts public favor
among the multitude who, in modern days,
are seeking profit or applause in this voca
tion. The critic of such performances can
not have bestowed the thought and study
necessary to an apt comprehension of the
complex parts which go to make up such a
miscellany as these entertainments offer. —
Failing this, he may lose and he does lose, no
doubt many of the finer touches of an art
that can give at best, a fleeting and momentary
picture, a hint of feeling and a glimpse of
thought—the shadowy portrayals that make
up in part at least a programme like the pres
ent. We are not suffered to dwell long
enough upon a picture, led from this impres
sion on to that, and carrying to each succeed
ing one no abiding image, 110 deeply pene
trating emotion of the mind, It is
"•The bubble on the wine that breaks
Before you lip the glass."
Yet the sfudy of the artist is all the more
arduous that necessitates saeh sudden trans
formations ;jnd the genius that can suecss-
fully compass these various effects must he
all the more versitile, ihe art more deft and
facile. That Miss KELLOGG has by excel
lent training and, of necessity, through a
natural adaptation, emotional and mental, to
the elocutionary and dramatic art, won a de
served and increasing reputation, must be the
conclusion which every succeeding experi
ence of her quality will bring, the best proof
of the growing maturity of her power. What
limit there may be to the possibilities of this
reader, a still further experience must lead
us to determine; certain it is, however, she
loses nothing—
"Age does not wither nor custom stale her intiniti
variety.
And the law of progression has determined
that so long as Ibis is true, her art will gain—
gain in its volume, strength seriousness and
power.
In the dialect pieces and the peculiar idiom
(which Minister—late I'rofessor LOWELL, a
rne and various scholar has defended),-redo
lent of American or rather" Yankee" life and
manners, Miss KELLOGG WO heiieye to he
without an equal on the reading rostrum.—
These and the Westeruisms —echoes of the
Occident in phrase and picture, which give
to Mr. BRET HAUTE his ptaee in the litera
ture of the day—are within essy range of
Miss KKI,I.OGG\S perennial powers, and are
done with rare, perhaps unequaled excel
lence.
Of the Shakespearean parts a more sustain
ed effort in a selected part would enable us,
if not to judge more securely' certainly to
make a bolder conjectuae of what she may do
in such away. That this excellent artiste
ripens and deepens in knowledge, capacity
and power, all who heard her laat night, and
who had the same privilege on former oc
casions, must conclude. * Of the entertain
ment offered, we have nothing hut commen
dation to declare and nothing hut hearty ap
plause and best wishes to renew.
Miss KKLLOGG'S audience last evening was
not as large as it should have been, but it was
an appreciative one and represented the best
society of Tovvanda. The orchestra added to
the enjoyment of the rare intellectual treat.
