“The fifth of the series of Saturday afternoon concerts at Association Hall took place yesterday before a small audience, the weather being decidedly unfavorable toward any entertainment. The artists were [see above]. Mme. Dowland, who was announced to appear, was indisposed and was replaced by Miss Buckley, who sang a couple of ballads, and a duet by Balfe, with the tenor. She has an agreeable, light voice, which she uses with skill and a fair degree of sympathetic power. Miss Heilbron made a decidedly favorable impression in her rendering of Pauer’s sparkling ‘Cascade,’ a composition of the ‘Pluie des Perles’ order, a clever transcription of Irish airs by Willie Pape, and for an encore she gave a tarantella, by Stephen Heller. In works of this order Miss Heilbron’s talents appear to the greatest advantage.”
