Miss Edna Sands Dunham, j 5 . ^ ?. ? j ^ Miss Rosalie^ Thornton,
One of the very best voices we have ever beard in these recitals was that of Miss Dunham in the eighth recital. She sang a
grand area by Case and the sacred song of Williams, "Come Unto Me," in a manner that excited almost a sensation. Not only
did she prove again that the American voice, as Marches! has frequently asserted, is naturally the best we hear, but also an Ameri?
can teacher, as we were told, has understood how to place it so admirably that there is nothing to correct or criticise. Miss
Dunham not only convinced us of her vocal powers, but of her ability to interpret grandly such an aria as that of the American
composer Case. Nor did Mr. Williams' exquisitely beautiful song stand one whit behind, for many were moved even to tears by
Miss Dunham's impressive singing of this selection.?"Guide to Dresden," -Germany.
