 The Bridgeport Post says. Miss Flor ice Marie Chase, soprano of the Christ church choir, sang the Liza Lehman cycle of songs, 'The Daisy Chain at the Universalist church, Bridgeport, last Thursday evening with Mrs. Davis. contralto; w. s. Moyle. tenor of New Haven, and w. Robert Clarke, baritone, bass. It was a quartet of rare excel lence whose effects were characterized by artistic ability of a high order; each member was an artist. and the result was perhaps as fine concert of the kind as we have ever had in Bridgeport. The singing of Miss Chase, Mrs Davis and Mir. Clarke Is familiar to most of us and It is only necessary to say that they were in fine voice and acquitted themselves in the satisfactory manner which Is characteristic of them. MT. Moyle, the tenor oe New Haven, was new to us. but he instantly made friends of all the audience, his singing was greatly enjoyed and we hope we shall hear him again.
