The recital was a great success. As always the artist was in her place when she sang the opera arias about which the public read so often. The number with which the public was most satisfied with was the one which she sang by re- quest-after-the national songs. In this special number she was ac- companied on the accordion which was very well received. Both artists who executed this number were dressed in beautiful Russian national costumes.
We hope that in the near future ve will have the pleasure of hear- ing the artist again.
