The promised visit of "Brignoli's Ope-
ra Troupe" affords us the anticipation
of more musical enjoyment than often
falls to the lot of Columbia. We extend
cordial welcome to our Prima Donna
Miss Isabel McCulloch, who left us at
the close of the war, to enter upon the
arduous duties Of professional career.
The memory of the pure polished tones
of her beautiful voice yet fingers in our
ear, and we are frightened by the hope
of hearing it again, with the added
finish which results from widened op-
portnnities and diligent study. With
pride, we open our hearts to her as one
OF our own, who industriously devoted
herself to the hard work of earning her
laurels. when the changes of our times
made it necessary to use as means of
livelihood the gift onco cultivated as q
pleasure and accomplishment. The en-
ergy and fidelity with which Miss McCul-
Loeb has pursued her profession, give
her the power in coming to her people,
OF giving to US, her own friends, an ar
tistic enjoyment more perfect than we
have known since debarred from the op-
portunity of seeking such enjoyments
abroad. Miss McCulloch's voice is pure
and equal-its natural quality, intlepen-
dent of the results of culture and study,
is beautiful and effective--her vocaliza.
tion distinct and sustained. The appear
ance of Miss McCulloch will be agreeable
to our feelings as fellow citizens. and, at
the same time, gratifying to many who
are her personal friends. We feel assured
that none who possess the ability will
fail to be present ut Miss McCulloch's
reception, and we feel safe in the predic-
ton of q full and crowded house.
