ance in public after recovering his voice, while
Miss Marie Decca scored the most brilliant
honors OF the evening. The New York World S
critic says OF her. miss Decca is a remark able
singer She is fair and graceful and of beauti-
full stage presence. She has a phenomenally
pure and brilliant voice, and but for degree
of nervousness would take her place among the
most brilliant Of singers. She sang the bril-
iiant aria lie Mysoli from lie Terle du Bresil,'
with flute obligato, and the grand ''Queen OF
Night' aria from Mozart's ''Magic Flute.''
She astonished her audience by the tute-ike
clearness and purity Of her high notes, the in
tellgence of her phrasng, and the deep beauty
of her expression, while her staccato passages
were clear and true, her trills and cadenzas
delicate and artistic. In 'Eckert's Swiss Echo
Song" no more beautiful and artistic rendering
could be imagined"
