The stockbridge Course.
Tomorrow the second of the Stock
bridgs course of entertainments will be
given at City Hall by Miss Jessie Cou-
thoui, the popular elocutionist, Miss
Thomas, soprano, Mr.. Wilder, futist,
and Miss Low, accompanist. The Spring
field Union says OF Miss Couthoui: fThe
fair Westerns elocutionist has a voice well
adapted to the varying demands of her
art. AT one time last night she sang in
sweet and plaintive tones a selection
from one of the Psalms and at another
time mimicked the heavy bass voice of
the melodramatic villain. AS a dialect
artist Miss Couthoui is excellent, and her
imitation of all Irishman is perfect. The
serious selections which she recited were
delivered in an effective manner, and
gave further evidence that the reader had
mastered every phase of elocuton.'
Of Miss Thomas the Boston Courier
says: "Miss Salome Thomas sang two
songsTby Maud Valerie White with.suoh
beauty of voice and purity and breadth of
style as to win an enthusiastic recall 1"
The Providence Journal says. "One
Of the most pleasing solos on the pro-
gramme was the performance on the flute
by Mr.. Wilder The composition was an
airy and graceful one, and was enthusi-
astically applauded.
