Edith Helena works in “one” before an ordinary olio drop, but needs must have a strip of carpet stretched across the stage before her entrance. This process does not occupy a great deal of time, but it makes a distracting break in the smoothness of the entertainment.
She sang her regular three songs, ending with the violin imitation, which was so well thought of by the audience that they demanded several encores. The singer's command of vocal range is extreme, but even her highest notes are sung with a liquid sweetness and purity that absolves them from "freakiness."
Miss Helena was given a flattering reception.
