“A very attractive musical entertainment was given last night at the pretty and commodious music hall of Mr. Decker in Union Square. There was a fair attendance and the receipts were larger than might be expected in the crowd of charity concerts now in progress. The concert was given for the benefit of the distressed family of Mr. Howard Glover, and was organized and carried through successfully by the popular cantatrice, Mlle. Louise Liebhardt. This lady sang a number of attractive selections on the occasion, and was ably assisted by Miss Luckhardt, Mlle. Drasdil, Messrs. Verner, Albites, Pease and Fritsch. Although the cloak of charity is sufficient by ample to cover up any deficiencies, yet we must say that on this occasion there was nothing but hearty praise to be bestowed upon the performance.”
