A Successful Concert
Former Norwich Girl Delighted Old Friends as an Entertainer
Utica Saturday Globe, March 1911
Pearl M. Stratton
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: The concert and recital given in the Calvary Baptist Church Friday evening by the pupils of Prof. Benjamin Galpin, assisted by Mrs. Edna Fuller Kay, soprano, and Miss Pearl M. Stratton, reader, may justly be classed as one of the most successful musical events of the season. Prof. Galpin's pupils have had considerable experience in concert work and their attainments are of a high order, as evidenced by the program Friday evening. The work of the orchestra is worthy special commendation.

Mrs. Kay has won an enviable place in the hearts of Norwich audiences and her singing Friday evening was fully up to the usual high standard.
Miss Stratton proved herself a reader of ability. In her first selection, "The Prodigal Son" by Richard Harding Davis, she held the attention of her audience from start to finish. "Mammy's Pickanin" by Lucy Jenkins, and "The Old Red Cradle" by Miss A.J. Granniss were also especially effective. Miss Stratton is a former Norwich girl and her many friends here are delighted at her success.
