Street Singer La Balladine Brightens Fifth Avenue
A street singer named Johanna Wild becomes the jewel of Mrs. Sixton's parlor after Paul Liston suggests hiring her as La Balladine. The self-taught vocalist rises to fame at Mrs. Lixton's receptions, but her insistence on voice training strains the patron's patience and ends with her departure after a heated clash.
