The Boston Joiirnal$kys ''Special
mention must be macje of the well
selected progamme. The Dove,' by
Miss Eugenie, displayed an unusually
bright, high and flexibje soprano voice,
to the pleasure of all. f Miss Lulu has
a contralto voice of much power and
beauty of quality, and sang her num
bers with a keen appreciation ol their
sentiment. Miss Alto was heard only
in her violin solo, but shares the musi
cal intelligence of the others. Ma
dame Fry's really marvelous voice was
a rare pleasure, and .warrants one to
desire to have her rerriain . with us, to
be heard ih our oratorio perfor
mances.
The Manchester (N. H.) Mirror
says : 'Not only does Miss Cheney
excel in the humorous, but she has the
faculty of touching the hearts of her
auditors in the pathetic, and she has
a natural dramatic ability to make her
pleasing in the tragic. Miss-Cheney
made a hit, and has a bright future be
fore her."
