Although
Miss Maude Danks, a brilliant young artist, only made her début
two years ago, she has already won golden opinions, and has become quite
a favourite with the music-loving public. She has received a most excellent
and careful musical training, and possesses a fine soprano voice, which
she uses with charming effect. Both in London and the provinces she
has appeared at important concerts with great success. Indeed, she sings
with the grace, finish, and perfect enunciation of a true artist. Miss
Danks has recently returned from Paris, where she has been studying
with the great master, M. Bouhy.
