“An enjoyable concert was given at De Garmo Hall last evening by Mme. Julie de Ryther, with the assistance of Miss Anna Borie, Mr. Christian Fritsch, Mr. J. R. Thomas, Mr. J. N. Pattison and Mr. M. Loesch. The hall was crowded.”

Review: New York Herald, 31 March 1875, 3.

“The pretty little hall at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street was crowded to the doors last night on the occasion of the benefit concert of a genuine favorite with the New York public in the lyric line. The fair bénéficiare sang a number of selections, which were well calculated to bring out the best qualities of her sympathetic and highly trained mezzo-soprano voice; Miss Annie Borie essayed the ‘Jewel Song’ from ‘Faust’ with success; J. R. Thomas declaimed the sorrows of Don Silvia in Verdi’s [illegible] from ‘Ernani;’ Fritsch, the tenor, chanted the praises of Barbe Bleue and Pattison played a few of his piano selections. It was a very attractive and enjoyable performance and worthy of the artistic fame of the lady who gave it.”
