“A small audience attended this concert last night. The programme was very interesting. Miss Orloff sang in magnificent style the aria from ‘Freischutz’ and Arditi’s waltz which he has honored by his own name. Madame Holbrook sang Tamaro’s ‘Ave Maria’ in her own superb style, and proved herself one of the best contraltos on the American stage. Dr. William Berge played at the conclusion one of his own inimitable organ solos, in which he introduced some of his best and most brilliant selections. With such great performers the concert was an entire artistic success.”
