She will also sing songs by Schumann, Brahms, and Strauss. "Serenade," "The Happy Vagabond," "Trees," "Home, Sweet Home," and others. Operatic excerpts include: "Softly Awakes My Heart," by Mrs Anita Ledsham; Figaro's ever-popular song from "The Barber of Seville," by Mr Stanley Sayers, the opening solo, and "One Fine Day," from "Madame Butterfly," by Mrs Agnes Leeming, the former solo being accompanied by a large chorus of girls' voices; and the "Jewel Song," from "Faust," by Mrs J. Brosnahan. Other artists assisting are Misses Irene McLennan, Eunice James, Marion Hayward, Messrs C. Stewart, J. McClinchy, E. Norrish, and C. Hartley.
