She has wonderful talent and is making a great success as a public reader.—

Her readings were exceptionally happy and carried with them a charm indescribable for the large and select audience, who were in love with her from the beginning. All who were so fortunate as to be present speak in the loudest terms of Miss Dunaway as an entertainer.—

Announcement
I
N presenting the Dunaway Concert Company to the public for the first time the Bureau takes a pardonable pride in stating that it is a company of stars which has never failed to give satisfaction in every particular. As a humorous reader Miss Dunaway has perhaps no superior on the platform and till the present season has been working alone, giving a full evening of fun and entertainment. The remarkable charm of her personality and her enthusiasm in her work have made her a great favorite wherever she has gone. Her specialty is humor and she has been called
funniest lady of the platform.
Miss Casey as soprano is another artist. Patti pronounced hers one of the rarest voices, combined with great power, clearness and elegance of tone and of the most unusual range that had come under her observation. Miss Greeson the pianist always receives the hearty commendation of all lovers of fine music and adds great strength to this remarkable company.

EULAH ROCHESTER CASEY, the famous soprano, has been considered one of the most popular Soloists on the American stage. She is so well known to all musical people of this country that the mention of her name at once calls up that wonderful voice which has been heard during the past few years in some of the finest musical organizations of the country.
Miss Casey has a perfectly magnificent voice.—
ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT.
She reaches the hearts of the people; no one could want greater praise. Her voice is remarkable for its clear tone and great range. Encore after encore was given, to which she responded with a willingness that seldom characterizes singers of note.—
MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL-APPEAL.
Among the soloists, Miss Beulah Casey, Soprano, proved herself a genuine artist. She is all that could be wished for in a concert singer, and the audience was enthusiastic in its demands for encores.—
MUSICAL COURIER JOURNAL
(N. Y.)
Don't fail to hear Miss Casey. Her voice is simply grand and will certainly charm all who hear her. The people of Little Rock were delighted with her voice.—
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT

The Opera House was well filled to hear Miss Casey sing. The program was exceedingly well rendered. From first to last it seemed as if the people could not get enough and would have gladly had the program repeated.—

YRTLE GREESON, as pianist, has filled her position to the delight of her many hearers.
She is truly an artist in her line. Her playing is marked by a charm that can not be acquired except by those who are natural musicians.
Her playing has been enthusiastically received wherever she has appeared and elicits many encores.
Her execution is gracefully elegant, her interpretation artistic in the extreme.
SHERWOOD MUSIC SCHOOL, CHICAGO.
I am glad to state that Miss Myrtle Greeson has studied with me as my private pupil and I consider her a young lady of marked ability and artistic temperament. I predict for her a most brilliant success in her chosen profession.

SHERWOOD.
Miss Greeson is without doubt the finest accompanist that has ever come under my observation. Her playing is both charming and artistic and is sure to please any cultured audience.

PALMIE, New York.
The people were all highly pleased with the Dunaway Trio. One of our foremost ladies said she would give twice the price to hear Miss Greeson play the piano again.—
BATESVILLE
(Ark.)
BEE.
Miss Greeson, pianist, whose work is the most difficult, perhaps, of any member of the company, is an accomplished musician and the audience showed its appreciation by giving her an hearty encore. It gladdens the ear to hear, now and then, the rendition of the work of the Masters without doing violence to them, and to say that Miss Greeson pleased the audience, in this respect, is putting it mildly. May she come again.—
