Sullivan's Golden Legend and Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise.  Of the soloists, Miss Pace did the most admirable work.  She has an unusually high soprano voice, brilliant and naturally easy.  She phrases well, has good enunciation, and sang with more than mere understanding of the text and music.  Her ability is of high order.


HERALD   Milwaukee, Wis.
Her tone has a singular charm, and is peculiarly sympathetic and expressive.  Musically, nature has endowed her with a generous hand; her intonation is firm and at all times reliable, her rendition warm and permeated with true artistic feeling.
Miss Pace sang the aria, Jeanne d'Arc, by Tschaikowsky, with warm feeling, excellent phrasing and clear pronunciation.  With songs of Burmeister, Grieg, White and Protheroe, she accomplished a complete success; they came from the heart and went to the heart.

HERALD   Louisville, Ky.
Miss Pace is a most attractive artist.  Her voice is a soprano, of rare sweetness and clarity of tone, powerful and with ample compass for such selections as Tschaikowski's Farewell ye Hills, which she sang with fine effect.  It was, however, in the lighter things, such as Schumann's Dichterliebe, and Spring has Come, by White, that she appeared to best advantage, as her enunciation is about as near perfect as one ever hears.  Miss Pace has an attractive presence, a voice that is young and fresh, giving promise of greater power and breadth of tone as she advances in life.

The music-loving element of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua at Mt. Gretna, has been delighted, for more than a week, with the singing of Miss Pace, of Chicago, who possesses exceptional vocal powers.

Miss Florence Marion Pace, who appeared as soloist with the string quartet, captivated the audience each time that she sang.  She is doubly fortunate in possessing an excellent soprano voice, and personal beauty.  Her voice is strong, under perfect control, and very musical.

TIMES   Toledo, Ohio
Especial mention should be made of Miss Pace, who has a clear, sweet voice of remarkable freshness, which, combined with a very attractive stage presence, made her singing highly enjoyable.

Those who heard her last night will hope to hear her again in this city.


DISPATCH   St. Paul, Minn.
Seldom has a singer received so warm and well-deserved a welcome in St. Paul as that accorded Miss Florence Marion Pace yesterday by the Schubert Club.  Miss Pace is a matured dramatic singer.  The applause that welcomed her first appearance on the stage carried a warm greeting; that which followed the final number was almost an ovation.
There is a dignity of bearing that fits well her very attractive personality, and gives to the girlish charm of face and figure a distinguished air, the natural accompaniment of matured mentality and artistic poise.
The opening number was an aria from Figaro, followed by a group of German Lieder.  Miss Pace has fully earned the right to be called an artist and the term is used in no grudging sense.  Her scale is even, her high tones limpid clear, her pianissimo almost perfect, and her enunciation finely accentuated.  Her phrasing, too, is most artistic.
One of the most successful songs in the group of English ballads was The Lily and the Rose, by Mrs. Bond.  There were the very tints of the flowers in the singer's tones.  A beautiful cradle song, by Chaminade, was another vehicle to bring out the sympathy and sweetness of Miss Pace's voice.



REPUBLICAN-REGISTER   Galesburg, Ill.
Messiah.  Miss Pace showed a dramatic intensity of feeling that held the closest attention of the audience.  Her singing of the recitatives and aria, Rejoice greatly, was brilliant and forceful and her vocalization artistic.  Her singing of the air, Come unto Him, was beautiful and expressive.  The naturalness and directness of her rendition appealed to all.  Her last solo, I know that my Redeemer liveth, was beautifully sung.


AMERICAN   Nashville, Tenn.
Probably no one on the platform at the Mont Eagle Assembly, this summer, has made as good an impression as Miss Pace.  At the morning's orchestral concert, she was compelled to respond to encore after encore, so loud were the demonstrations of applause.

Miss Pace is very attractive, both in appearance and voice.  Her beauty and charming personality, together with her well cultivated and sweetly modulated voice, have made her a great favorite at Lexington.


REPUBLICAN REGISTER   Galesburg, Ill.
(STATE MUSIC TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.)  Miss Florence Marion Pace, of Chicago, received a hearty welcome from the audience, and appeared, as she stood before them, a lovely, radiant and self-possessed woman.  Her first selection, As When the Dove, from Acis and Galatea, by Haendel, she gave with marked nicety of expression.  She has a fine voice with good tone-shading, and her style is dramatic.  Her tones were pure, sweet and brilliant.  Almost an ovation followed this aria.  The spirit and fervor with which she sang her second number, an aria from Iphegenia in Tauris, by Gluck, captivated her listeners and she was again recalled.  Miss Pace made a splendid impression and her singing will be recalled as one of the features of the meeting.


HAWK-EYE.   Burlington, Iowa
Miss Pace's voice is of a beautiful quality, rich and full, and shows most excellent cultivation.  The singer has it in perfect control, always using it with the greatest ease and freedom, and every word she sings can be understood distinctly.  Besides this, she has a most pleasing personality, altogether making her a very charming entertainer.  Miss Pace won the acmiration of her audience in her first number, but her singing seemed to grow upon one, and the more she was heard the better she was liked.  She probably excelled in the aria from Jeanne d'Arc, of which she gave a splendid rendition.  She was very greatly enjoyed in her last number, a group of ballads.  She was compelled to respond to several encores.  All who attended yesterday's recital will look forward to a time when Miss Pace may sing in Burlington again.



GLOBE   St. Paul, Minn.
A voice essentially dramatic in character, her scale is delightfully even and tone production full, clear and unrestrained.
