“An olio entertainment succeeded this, in which Miss Emma Howson sang ‘The Last Kiss,’ composed by Signor Operti, which was followed by a duet from ‘Elixir d’Amore,’ By Miss Howson and Signor Operti, the latter making his debut on the stage upon that occasion. He has a good voice and sang with much effect, upon being most enthusiastically greeted upon his appearance and at the close of his performance.”
