“Ten or twelve of the Indians whom Mme. Pauline Lucca visited on Friday, returned the call at the artist’s dwelling at 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The guests took part in a brief Indian concert, which it would have much puzzled the late M. Fétis to review, and in acknowledgment of their vocal efforts, Mme. Lucca sang, for their express behoof, the ‘Jewel Song’ from ‘Faust,’ Mr. Maretzek officiating as the orchestra. A general utterance of ‘How, how,’ brought the novel reception to a close.”
