Concert Company next Tuesday night
This company is composed of the follow
ing artists of note: Mamie Hands-Kron-
berg, whose voice is round, full, vibrant
and sympathetic, and while dramatic
singing is conceded to be her forte, she is
equally successful in opera, ballad or
German Lieder. Mr.. S. Kronberg pos
sesses a voice of brilliant timbre and re-
fined quality, and has true musical in
stinct and abundant temperament. Mr..
Frank Kennedy, the Violinist, has made
the violin lifelong study, having had
the best instruction from the most cele-
brated masters. The pianist, Miss Marie
Patterson has a fine stage presence, and
her playing is refined and finished.
