Boehm of this city. who appeared on
a recital program at the Lawrence
conservatory of music, last Friday
evening:
Last night, before very enthusiasts
tic audience in Peabody hall, Mrs. E.
l.. Boehm, soprano, of Wausau, pre-
scented a most attractive song recital.
She was assisted by Esther Dean Lar
sen, who played in her usual good
form. Mrs. Boehm possesses a voice
of unusual quality with a full reso-
nance which charms the ear. A pure
resonance and flute like head tones
which she produces without obvious
effort are the two qualities particu-
larly characteristic of her voice.
Whenever there was a part melody
to be sung, her richness of tone made
it doubly attractive. She differenti-
ates the tone color to the interpretative
advantages of her songs in remark
able manner. Among the choice num-
berS of the program was a mastery
presentation of the great Aria, 40,
the Gentle Lark" by Bishop. Mrs.
Boehm handled it to the admiration
of the audience and was given a veri-
table ovation at the close. A beautiful
bouquet of roses was presented to her
by a friend Mrs. Boehm has been
coaching with Dean Evans for the last
three years, being one of the first to
enroll with him after he came to APP
pleton.
