KELLOGG, CLARA LOUISE

(18421916), prima donna; 6. Sum oe, N. C. She studied singing in New York and first appeared in 1860 at Pittsburgh as a concert vocalist. The next year she sang as Gilda in Rigoletto in the Academy of Music, New York, and two years later as Marguerite in Faust. Her succe in this role at the age of twenty was repeated in subsequent enactments, notably at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, where she appeared in 1867. She had great histrionic talent as well as an enthralling soprano voice, and was equally effective in concert and oratorio work. She became well known abroad, where she frequently sang before royalty. In 1887 she married Carl Strakasch and retired from the stage shortly afterwards. In 1913 appeared her Memoire of an American Prima Donna.
