The   National   Ladies   Quartet
offers an entertainment that is artistic, educational and unique. The name indicates the nature of their program. The songs of our own land are not forgotten, but the less familiar but no less popular folk-songs of other nations are also sung in peasant costume and form a most novel and instructive feature. Among these are the Irish, Scotch, Swedish, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Gypsy, and also plantation melodies of our own land, in costume. One of the original and striking specialties is "The Federation of Flags" (Copyrighted, 1905, by Rhea Hall Behymer).     The program affords a most delightful evening.
F. D. Innes, Bandmaster, New York City — To Rhea Hall Behymer: Permit me to congratulate you upon the possession of a splendid contralto voice, well cultivated, and used with unusual delicacy and taste — and to express the hope that I may at some time have the pleasure of hearing you in one of my own concerts.
W. L. Davidson, D.D., Washington, D. C.—The singing of Rhea Hall Behymer is artistic and sympathetic. Her voice is pleasing and she sings many of the old familiar melodies in a charming manner.
Musical Courier, New York — Miss Grace Feasey, of Indianapolis, is a young woman of unusual talent and ability. Combined with her beautiful lyric soprano voice, she has a charming personality which she adapts admirably to her work, and has the power of interpretation that leaves no doubt in the minds of her hearers as to the true character of her songs.
