PLEASANT HILL, MO. 



The Kellogg Opera House, erected 

 by Mr. George M. Kellogg, the florist, 

 was opened to the public on Easter 

 Sunday, with a sacred concert. The 

 Kansas City Times prints the follow- 

 ing report of the event: 



Pleasant Hill, Mo., April l."..— The new 

 Kellogg opera house, one of the hand- 

 some.st country theatres in interior Mis- 

 souri, which has ju.st been temporarily 

 completed, was formally opened this 

 afternoon and night with a union Easter 

 .service, in which all the churches in 

 Pleasant Hill and the people of the en- 

 tire county participated. The Kellogg is 

 a substantial brick building of modern 

 architecture SSxltKI feet in dimensions, 

 four stories high, including the basement. 

 It has a stage depth of twenty-six feet, 

 four boxes, capacious balcony and a gal- 

 lery above. The seating capacity of the 

 house is 1,000 persons. The basement is 

 divided into a ball and reception room, a 

 banquet hall with fully equipped kitchen 

 attached. The interior furnishing and 

 finishing are said to be the handsomest 

 of any theatre in the Kansas City terri- 

 tory, and when the building is completed, 

 at a cost of $12,000 it will be surrounded 

 by a park. The building was crowded 

 both afternoon and evening vesterdav, 

 and there were large delegations from 

 every town in the county beside Kansas 

 City, Independence, Lee's Summit and 

 Holden. Many could not get in. There 

 was a musical programme composed tx- 

 clusively of sacred numbers contributed 

 by portions of every congregation in the 

 town. A chorus of sixty voices was as- 

 sisted by the audience in singing patri- 

 otic hymns. There were quartets, piano 

 numbers, vocal selections, etc., W. W. 

 Hunt, a well-known Kansas City tenor 

 being one of the vocalists. 



The night programme was similar in 

 character to that of the afternoon, both 

 being under the management of Mrs. 

 Talbot Winship. a local music teacher 

 Despite the heavy rain the house was 

 again crowded. The next attraction at 

 the new Kellogg in "Quo Vadis" bv the 

 Auditonum stock companv on the "night 

 of May 7.
