Miss Mabel Monag han is charming to
look upon. She has soft dark hair,
slender girlish figure, and as she sang the
page song from Lies Huguenots", she
was truly marvel. Such sweetness OF
voice ana such a range! In Maine, her
native state, they call her the queen of
song, and she is rightly named. She has a
modest, simple stage presence, and on the
" hole is one of the most pleasing soprano
soioists we have ever listened to,-Mdtden
