JANE ABERCROMBIE.

The large audience which turned
out to greet Lulu Jane Abercrombie
at her recital on the evening of Tues
day March 25th, filled every seat in
the Grand opera house and each one
present is ready to bear witness that
anything more complete, more music
ally perfect in program cannot be
imagined. Our music loving people
looked forward to the recital with the
keenest pleasure and were not disap-
pointed at the outcome. Mrs. Aber-
crombie's singing was extremely fin
ished and enjoyable; she carried her
audience with her at all times, not
Alone by her wonderful singing but
by the grace and beauty of her per-
Sonal appearance. She was in excel
lent voice and aroused much enthu-
siasm and the outbursts of applause
meant more than delight at the ex-
cellent rendition of her various num-
bers-they were tribute to her per-
sonality, to her perseverance and de-
termination which had characterized
her life since all have known her.
Since Christmas it is said that she
has memorfzed eight operas.
Mrs. Abercrombie practically started
her career in Wausau. She was pos
sessed of a wonderfully pleasing voice
and much natural dramatic ability,
and with her many other accomplish
ments and plenty of determination
and energy back of it has placed her
in the front ranks of the great
vocalists of our country. She appeared
during the progress of the evening, in
various costumes appropriate to her
program numbers and she scored a
great success and was recalled many
times, cheerfully responding each
time. She was the recipient of beau
tiful bouquets of flowers, gifts from
admiring friends. The program of
