“Am just from C. M. A. rehearsal (extra) at lower room, Steinway Hall. It was diligent & promising. Public rehearsal came off yesterday afternoon. There are bungling days & brilliant days. Yesterday was of the former. The chorus bungled & boggled helplessly. Our dear little Miss Emily, just in town again, was there & as pretty as ever.”
