The Lasky Quintet

Mr. Lasky might supply hid ‘cello youths with daylight dress for the afternoons. In their evening clothes grinding* away on their instruments the boys look like table d’hote players.
A patriotic ending is depended upon for applause for the opening, and the harpist is by far the best musician of the lot. She is pretty and sings "What the Rose Said to Me," which was sung in the Colonial last week.
Three young women and two boys are seated in a sounding* bell at the opening, four playing 'cellos and one girl a harp.
It is a rather peculiar musical combination, and sounds more so. At one moment the music resembled a wood sawing contest, and Oriental dance music played for an encore was an insignificant detail of a not overenjoyable act.
