“Considerable music was allotted to her [Ada Harland], which received the full justice that it merited.” “He [Harry Pearson] sang two songs during the evening, both of which were deservedly applauded.” “Little Jennie Yeamans acted an introduced part with a degree of intelligence far beyond her years, and sang a song which won an encore.”
