Miss Batting is a general favorite at society entertainments of the upper classes in Boston, New York and Washington, and there is hardly a city or town of importance which has not heard and been delighted with her monologues and the irresistible humor that characterizes all her work.

Press Notices

Too high praise cannot be given the monologue of Ethel Batting nor the way it was presented.  Both were worthy of Beatrice Hereford.—
Boston Herald.


Miss Ethel Batting the monologist is an artist, and one worth going a long distance to hear.  Her wit, humor and imitations are refined, and she delighted and entertained her audience.  Those who want to hear a a genuine artist should not fail to see and hear Miss Batting.—
Washington (D. C.) Post.


The surprise of the evening was Miss Ethel Batting, who modestly calls herself an entertainer.  Unlike most elocutionists she depended, for the most part, on her amusing stories of human nature.  At the Musical proved to be a short monologue of considerable humor, which was served in a sort of May Irwin dressing.  Miss Batting made friends with the audience immediately and they were loath to let her go.  She consented to give four short stories, and later, in a totally different voice and manner, gave a pathetic picture of the home-coming of a convict.  A number of other stories were told with fine expression, and not the least pleasing was the fact that in almost every case the tales were of the 1909 vintage.  The audience was very responsive with smiles and tears, although the smiles outnumbered the tears by a big majority.—
Hartford (Conn.) Courier.


Ethel Batting, in a monologue of funny stories and songs, proved a pleasant surprise.  She is attractive and hasn't the mannerisms of the usual entertainers in that line.  Her recitation of The Village Blacksmith is quite ludicrous.—
Allentown (Pa.) Sun.


Miss Ethel Batting won the audience with her charming manner which at once impressed them with its sincerity.  Her pathetic selection reached the hearts of the people.  She showed her versatility during the evening and captured the house on every appearance.—
Norristown (Pa.) Daily Herald.


Her impersonations of the simpering, gossipy society woman, the ambitious, but incapable would be elocutionist, the incorrigible school kid and the Only Child, were alike realistic and exceedingly mirth provoking.  She proved to be a particularly happy story teller and had a fund of short tales that she gave in a very entertaining way.  Miss Batting would make a capital after dinner speaker.  She is one of the best entertainers ever heard in Olean.—
Olean (N. Y.) Herald.


The star of the evening was, without a doubt, Miss Batting, whose rendition of the The Village Blacksmith and The Only Child brought down the house.—
New York Musical Courier.

Miss Ethel Batting came here with many honors on her list, although she was a stranger.  It is not undue praise to say that she more than fulfilled the expectations of the audience.—
Halifax (N. S.) Evening Mail.


Miss Ethel Batting especially won favor with the audience in her very first number—a touching piece entitled The Home Coming.  She was encored on every appearance.—
Moncton (N. B.) Daily Times.


The stories of Miss Batting were excellent, and she proved herself to be not only a finished entertainer, but also a delightful actress as well.—
Franklin (Mass.) Sentinel.


The monologues by Miss Ethel Batting were exceptionally fine and artistically delivered from every point of view.—

Miss Ethel Batting is one of the finest monologue artists ever before the citizens of Falmouth.—
Falmouth (Mass.) Enterprise.
