“Miss Pieris, a young lady with a pleasant voice and fair culture, sang an operatic selection and two ballads in a style that proved satisfactory to the audience.”

“Miss Nully Peiris, a vocalist, made her first appearance here and created a highly favorable impression. She sang ‘O Luce de Quest Anima,’ from Linda, a waltz by Arditi and two English ballads. Miss Peiris has a cultivated voice of considerable volume, but lacking somewhat in tenderness.”
