the Hartford Courant says:
She was heard in selection from "Son-
nambula." substituted for the number on
the programme, which exhibited her tech
nique, while an encore, 1.-The Maid of Dun
dee," showed her powers In simpler and
more heartfelt vocalization. A shade less Of
sp0ntaneity and brightness were observable
in the singers voice than when she appeared
was charmingly rendered and Grieg's Sun
shine Song" pleased so much that a raptur-
Gus encore was received and she responded
with Home, Sweet Home"
