a we'll cultivated and sweet voice

mental in bringing this entertainer

Mrs. Baird remarked that Mis-
| Howe's voice hardly came up to he
expectation. It was we'll trained
but lacked volume; a little too wea
for a prima donna soprano, sh
thought.
Col. H. M. Hook, of the st. LOU
Republican, thought Miss Howe ha
her voice under wonderful contro
but it was weak; too much so #
one aspiring to the position Of prim
l. donna. He pronounced the conce1
e fine.
