The soprano wien steindel

The Musical Courier for April, in re-
ferring to one of the concerts given by
the Bruno Steidel company which will
be at the Grand this evening pays this
handsome compliment to the soprano:
LAS an interlude of the most artistic
description came Mrs. Minnie Fish Crit
fin, who sang songs by Brahms and
Franz Playing her own accompani-
ment, she gave with beauty of voice
and delightful style seven songs in Ger
man, with the purest accent and most
refined artistic method. No more fas-
cinating singing could be desired than
that of Mrs. Griffin, whose musician
ship is of such unusual quality. 1t is
poetic and elegant, graceful and bril-
liant; one could wish there were such
singers capable of interpreting classic
songs with a classic appreciation and
knowledge. 1t is difficult enough to
play Brahms music, but to sing Brahms
to ones own accompaniment requires
genius. and this Mrs. Griffin evidently
possesses"

As to the imputatiOn of blackmaiI. the
age and standing of the directory is suf-

In the front of the directory is an ex-
PLANTATION that ratings are relative and
based upon the standard at the particular
locality Furthermore, it is explicitly
in specific lines of practice, their ratings
have reference to that lif1e of practice

is that many attorneys engaged in collec-
1ections and commercial law are rated
first class. where if no specific line was
indicated their ratings in general practice
would be second or third rate.
Finally. never claimed infailibility
for our ratings, but our endeavor is to
have them nearly accurate as possible.

do him an injustice, we earnestly request
that complaint be made to the publisher,
