...songs with orchestral accompaniment comprised the second number. Although rendered with the greatest technical skill, these pieces were not the objects of the most enthusiastic admiration; Mrs. Wyman sang to much better advantage in the simpler songs of the fifth number when she was accorded the most generous applause...

Whether one attempts to criticise favorably or to find fault with such a performance he stands on equally unsatisfactory ground, for to criticise favorably is but to imitate and to find fault with, is folly...
