Mollie has given piano recitals in most of the large cities of the United States. Bessie as a violinist has toured the country successfully. Jeanne has lately received flattering notices in the press, among others the St. Louis Globe as follows: "The pianist, Miss Jennie Scott, played the Liszt arrangement of the'Erl King' with exquisite expression and with a technique wellnigh flawless. After four recalls she responded with Chopin'scharming and dainty 'Berceuse' . Miss Scott received a beautiful bouquet at the close of her second number."
