Tui Salt (soprano) and Molly Fenton (mezzo-contralto) are both comparatively new artists to the wireless, who have delightfully fresh voices, of pure quality, and with the great essential, good enunciation.

The performer, Mr. H, Eggers, is sufficiently gifted in this particular branch of entertainment to be able to "get it over’ to listeners, and they should enjoy many a hearty laugh..
