For several years Mrs. Anna K. Howard, (then Miss Kelsey) lived in Ann Arbor as a teacher of Elocution, and also as a student in one of our professional departments, and was known to me as very earnest in all her work. I never had the pleasure of hearing her read or of witnessing any of her instructions in Elocution; but of her proficiency in both directions, I frequently heard very favourable reports. MOSES COIT TYLER, Professor of History in Cornell University, and author of "History of American Literature." * * * * * [_St. Catharines (Ont.) Times_.] MISS KELSEY fairly took the audience by storm, being heartily encored. She is one of the best professional readers we have ever listened to. * * * * * [_Ann Arbor (Mich.) Courier_.] MISS KELSEY'S manner is simple and graceful, or full of vigour and fire; her voice singularly sweet and flexible, or deep and sonorous at will. Miss K. has given readings in many of our important cities, and she always holds her audience spell-bound. |
