Conservatory, whose name is signed to the

said the statement was true.
Miss Foster has the highest soprano
voice ever heard in my life. and have
been teaching music and listening TO it over
90 years. said the veteran professor. "She
told me she could reach high G and A some
time ago. and l asked her TO let me hear
her. Last March she came with the eadenZa

OF 1t, and with the greatest ease. II is con-

Foster seems to attain so easily. Her notes

no doubt she could pronounce at that pitch,

Professor Henry Altman, another we'll

At The Bijou Theater. on the evening of

The programme promises to be vey inter
