woman than the run Of prima donnas; fact, of
course, due to her Yankee extraction So far an
could be judged from the performance of last
night, the quality Of her voice is best In the mid
die notes Without exciting her audience to any
high degree Of enthusiasm, she made an excellent
Impression as Of rising artistic who will do
credit to her native country.

he made here was In company with his fellow

Mancusi, the new baritone, made good hit
and Mollenhaur, the new violincellist, a decided
one.
The plano accompaniment, upon a superb
Steinway piano furnished by Metzerott, were, in
their way, among the most enjoyable things of the
musical entertainment.
