OF     GLASGOW
Miss Tina Crawford
THE SCOTTISH PRIMA DONNA
A CKNOWLEDGED by press and public of Great Britain as the greatest living Scottish Contralto, brings to the Lyceum platform for the season of 1907-8 THE FAMOUS SCOTCH SINGERS OF GLASGOW. Miss Crawford is known in her native country as "the Scottish Jenny Lind." The associate artists of the company were personally selected by Miss Crawford from hundreds of applicants, because of their particular fitness for the solo and ensemble work of the most difficult and exacting program.

Extracts from Letter:
GLASGOW. I esteem it a privilege to be one of that numerous band who delight to praise and honor Miss Crawford — a band which includes everyone who knows her or has come under the wondrous charm of her exquisite voice. Among those who know and appre¬ciate good singing in Glasgow, and hosts of other large places, the name of Miss Tina Crawford is a household
word.....I  envy  the  pleasure
and delight which many thousands in America will derive from the marvellous singing of Glasgow's own Tina Crawford, who well merits and abundantly justifies the title "The Scottish Jenny Lind."                               JOHN   WALLACE.
Glasgow Record:
Next on the programme was Miss Tina . Craw¬ford. This lady reigns supreme as our greatest contralto vocalist. She sang magnificently and held her audience spellbound with her splendid rendering of "Queen of the Earth " and " The Lost Chord." The last item was a musical treat.
London Times:
Next appeared Miss Tina Crawford, a contralto vocalist who possesses a remarkably brilliant voice, singing no less than eight songs. Miss Crawford is to be envied the possession of such a glorious voice, which fairly enchanted her hearers, who showed their appreciation by calling her to the front again and again. No doubt Miss Crawford is the finest contralto we have heard for a long time.   .   .   .
Liverpool Post:
Miss Crawford is a bright and clever artist and fairly pulls the house with her delightful rendering of Scottish songs — songs well selected and sung with an unusual degree of taste and expression. This artist is assuredly in the front ranks of Scottish vocalists.
Miss  Agnes Hyde
THE LEADING SCOTTISH ENTERTAINER
WAS born in Glasgow, but for several years has been a resident of Boston. Her services are in constant demand, and only because of her unusual loyalty to her native country were we able to secure her for this tour. We feel extremely fortunate in announcing Miss Hyde as under our exclusive management.

Boston Globe:
Miss Hyde treated the audience to some specially fine readings.
Boston Herald:
Miss Hyde is a lady of more than ordinary histrionic talent, a favorite with her audience, and met with a warm greeting.
Amsterdam  Evening   Record, New York:
Miss Hyde's Scotch dialect, when she used it, was perfect. She is one of the finest elocutionists ever heard in this city, and she is master, not of one line alone, but of every phase of the work.
Barre    Evening    Telegram, Barre, Vermont:
Miss Agnes Hyde as an entertainer is one of the best, and seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of the best selec¬tions. The encores she received showed the high praise her listeners had in store for her.
Lewiston Journal, Lewiston, Maine:
Tarn o' Shanter was recited by Miss Hyde. An elocutionist of her calibre has rarely been heard in Lewiston. She handled the difficult dialect with marvelous skill. The spectres of Allaway Kirk seemed to rise before the audience as Tarn and his good gray mare made their famous ride across the bridge. There is no question about her dramatic powers, and her keen sense of humor is equal to her ability as an elocutionist. She is a star. In her humorous selections she kept the audience in a roar by assuming character after character with the utmost ease.
Winnipeg Free Press, Manitoba, Canada:
Those who attended the Scotch concert under the auspices of Clan Stewart last evening must have been delighted. The entertainment was exceptionally fine. Miss Hyde's rendering of " The Cotter's Saturday Night " was masterly, and her humorous selections captivated the audience. Her impressions were clever in the extreme. She is a host in herself. In the Scotch comedy " Clashes Ower the Tea-Cups," Miss Hyde was supreme.
Hartford Daily Times, Conn. :     (Bums Anniversary,  Clan Gordon No. 19)
The audience was given a delightful treat by the recitation of " The Cotter's Saturday Night." It is a difficult poem to recite, but Miss Hyde was equal to it. She showed an intelligent appreciation of its spirit. The audience followed her with marked attention and the eyes of many glistened as they recalled the ingle which they loved so well in the Land of the Thistle and Heather.
Schenectady Gazette, Schenectady, N. Y.:
A delightful Scottish evening was given at the chapel of First Presbyterian Church last evening by Miss Agnes Hyde. The event proved to be a most successful social affair. Miss Hyde rendered several poems from the works of Robert Burns, interspersed with humorous selections. Her rendition of the old Scotch classics was beautiful and the recital was greatly enjoyed.
