Excerpt from Adelaide Phillipps: A Record

Madame Arnoult, a woman of fine musical qualities and education, was then the best instructress in vocal culture in Boston. Her husband, Dr. Arnoult, is still remembered as a man of fine presence and refined manners, whose instructions in the French language were very much sought and appreciated. They were both persons of good position in France, and made many friends in America. Madame Arnoult knew the world, and especially the musical world, and when she recog nized the very remarkable gift Miss Phil lipps possessed, in a grand contralto voice, she advised her to study for the Italian Opera. Thus the lively and talented young actress became a prima donna of the lyric stage, a change not quite so great as that of Cinderella, but something like it.
