Having recently had the opportunity of hearing Miss ALICE CAREY, the Violinist, I wish to say that I consider her an artist of very great gifts.  Her technique is superb, and her interpretation of the masters gives evidence of insight and feeling of a rare kind.  Miss Carey has certainly a brilliant future, and I congratulate your bureau in securing her as your musical attraction.

Announcement
MISS ALICE CAREY begins her professional career with happy auguries for the highest honors and the most unqualified success.  She has given her life to the work, studying under the best American masters and later with Professors Breene and Remy of the Paris Conservatory.  Her playing is masterful, combining a firm true tone and skillful bowing.  Added to these qualities she possesses a charming personal appearance and pleasing manner which insures for her undoubted success.  With MISS CAREY we have associated a Trio of artists of various gifts, that together justify us in promising an unusually pleasing program.  The company is made up of people who have had a good deal of experience on the Concert platform, and for the organization as a whole, we anticipate a season that will prove a splendid introduction for the future.—American Lyceum Union.


MRS. STELLA WEST
SOPRANO AND PIANIST




When we have wearied of even the most entrancingly beautiful instrumental music and when the ear seems dulled to its most soothing harmony — still are the heart and the ear open to the ever-be-witching music of the human voice.

MRS. WEST is one of our most proficient interpreters of the best songs that have been written in the English language.  She sings with equal skill and grace the classical selections that appeal to musical critics and sweet, simple songs that abound in sentiment and pathos and appeal to the ears and hearts of the public at large.




MRS. WEST, the soprano, stands in the very front rank of the profession.  She showed surpassing ability and was received with storms of applause.—
Middle-port (O.) Press.


Visitors at the Miami Valley Chautauqua last summer will remember MRS. WEST, and her host of friends hope the management will secure her services at the next session of the Chautauqua.—
Middletown (O.) Press.


STELLA WEST sang in her usual pleasant manner and added laurels to those already won before Sabina audiences.  Her Pickaninny Song, in response to an encore, was very pleasing.—
Sabina (O.) Press.



Tributes of Praise
CINCINNATI, O., March 1, 1901.

STELLA WEST has been under my instruction for nearly four years.  She is a very intelligent musician.  Her voice is a soprano, flexible and particularly strong.  I can recommend her for concert work.  TECLA VIGNA.

MANAGER'S NOTE.—Madame Vigna is considered by many to be Cincinnati's greatest vocal teacher.




Report of Woman's Club Concert.
STELLA WEST, being a natural artist, is well equipped for the severest tests of public criticism.  She has a soprano voice of delightful quality, and one that intelligent cultivation has brought under control.  Her voice has an underlying sweetness in every note, and it was a delightful pleasure to listen to her pure, sweet tones.






MISS O'DAY, READER

Miss Ida O'Day Reader & Banjoist

It is with great pleasure that I certify that I am acquainted with MISS O'DAY, and that I know her eminent ability as an elocutionist.  I have heard her recite several times with great delight and regard her as one of the best whom I have ever heard.  She evidently has great native ability, underlying thorough training.  I was especially pleased with her naturalness and perfect self-possession.—C. W. Winchester, D. D.

Miss Edith Hale
As an introduction of MISS EDITH HALE, we cannot do better than submit the letter of Wallace Bruce, who has been familiar with the best talent for a quarter of a century.


A Triple Star
Miss Hale seems a Triple Star in the realm of platform work.  As a rare artist in Music, Reading and Whistling she has won all hearts, and will be thrice welcomed when she returns to our Florida Chautauqua.

WALLACE BRUCE.


MISS EDITH HALE SOLO WHISTLER






Whistling or warbling, as based on the laws of harmony, as an art, or even polite accomplishment, is an extremely rare attainment among women.
For more than two decades Alice Shaw has stood alone as the only great American lady whistler, but the past season has brought forth one in the person of MISS EDITH HALE who will certainly succeed to the pedestal that has long threatened to become vacant.
The vocal chords of the feminine throat are not adapted to this singularly pleasing vocal exercise, and not more than once in a generation does one appear combining with this physical equipment a highly musical faculty and taste.
MISS HALE whistled to perfection, and was loudly applauded.  Perfect whistling is a rarity, especially among ladies.  MISS HALE is indeed an artist.—

The Delaware Gazette.


She is a wonderful whistler, and is bound to be heard from in time in more pretentious work.—
Ohio State Journal.


MISS EDITH HALE is the most proficient whistler in the State.—
Commercial - Tribune, Cincinnati.


MISS EDITH HALE gave several numbers of her excellent whistling, which was one of the most attractive features of the program.—
Press-Post, Columbus.


The young lady was received most heartily, and her numbers proved to be a great hit and were a relish to the delighted audience before whom she appeared.—
Herald, Delaware.


MISS EDITH HALE is a whistler of unusual ability.  It is not the shrill, boyish whistle, nor yet the gurgling sound so often exemplified in Listen to the Mocking Bird, but a low, sweet pipe, like the trill of a thrush, but rising strong and clear when the music demands it.—
Columbus Citizen.
