Arcadian Club Reception to Clara Louise Kellogg

“The Club-rooms in Union Square were thronged with notable men and women, and even more artistic entertainment than usually falls to the lot of a professional club was provided. Fresh pictures from the studios hung from the walls, and of music, the 9th Regiment Band and several vocalists contributed generously. Two large portraits of Miss Kellogg were prominently displayed, but their attraction was lessened by the presence of the prima donna herself. In the crowded room were, among others, Dion Boucicault, Edmund Yates, Rubenstein, Mario, Chauncey M. Depew, Col. H. S. Stebbins, the President, Miss Clara Doria, Mlle. Louise Liebhart, Mlle. Pauline Canissa, and Mlle. Ormeni. Few clubs could have mustered a more brilliant company or entertained it more successfully.”
