“Miss Daly possesses considerable dash and vivacity, and she sang a number of songs which pleased the auditors. Her costume was rich and tasteful, her voice clear and powerful, her figure good, and these, combined with the attraction of a pretty face, more than counterbalanced any slight defects apparent in the method of her singing.””Miles Morris won a trip encore for singing in an effective manner some Irish songs. George Warren’s songs, with banjo accompaniment, although well rendered, possessed no novelty and fell flat with the audience.” “Miss Ada Wray continued to appear
16 during the week in songs with banjo accompaniment, and Miss Jennie Hughes won much applause in a new selection of songs carefully rendered.”
