“Mrs. Payne has a soprano voice of moderate power and a great deal of careful training, and in the rataplan of Malibran, with which the concert concluded, she received well-deserved applause.  She is an artist who should be heard more frequently before the metropolitan public, and one that does not neglect improvement in voice and style every season.”
