MISS LINDGREN is a gifted soprano, well known to local music devotees whose delight is to hear her voice of ample power and range, and through the excellent interpretation and natural unassuming manner has won the praise of all who heard her last evening.

Telegraph Press, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Miss Lindgren was very happy in songs calling for the full voice, where her dramatic effect was telling.—Glenn A. Amond, Kalamazoo Gazette.
In the folk song Miss Lindgren has an enviable reputation. Her rendering of Scandinavian Folk Songs is something to be remembered.—Adam Jardine, Organist and Choir Master, St. Mark's Church, and Director of Apollo Club of Seattle.

Miss Lindgren was soprano soloist and leader of the choir of St. Marks Parish, Seattle, for a period of four years. During that time she gave great satisfaction to the parishioners of the largest Episcopal Church on the Pacific Coast. Her congenial personality helped to build up the church organization as a whole, and thus she fulfilled a double function.—E. V. Shaylor, Bishop of Nebraska.
Miss Lindgren's voice was very unusual. Although a soprano according to the announcement, it had more the quality of a contralto, and was best within the range usually used by the lower voice. It seemed inclined to reflect in some instances the mood of the song, had sufficient volume and other good characteristics.—
