“Miss Amy de Brent, a serio-comic vocalist, was the only fresh face that appeared at the Theatre Comique during the past week. She is quite petite in figure, has a sweet, though not very powerful voice, a pretty, expressive face and dresses with taste. She sang three selections, which met with great favor from the audience.”
