“About two hundred children of the Five Points Mission gave a concert last evening at Steinway Hall, under the direction of Mrs. William P. Corbitt, who presided at the piano during the entire exercises… The concert seemed in every way a success, and great pains must have been taken in preparing the children for so pleasing a display.”
