to musicians, but to mere music lovers a.
well. Miss Stein was in excellent voice
She has a wonderful compass and sing
with dramatic effect. Mr. Clarke has
. rich bass voice. of great power, !withou
being forced The harp solo, by Mr. Rogers
V was one of the most popular numbers
while the work of Mr. Sieveking. the piar
list, was a revt lation. He is easily the bes
e pianist ever seen In Waterbury. The thir
act OFF, aust" was VT II rendered with Mis-
y Stewart as Marguerite Miss Stein a
S Martha and Siebel, W. H. Rieger as Faul
. and Mr. Clarke as Mephistopheles. tn
