ROlla is one of the most admirable

years. She has sung in opera in London,
and she was to have taken the place OF
Lilli Lehman at the Metropolitan at one
time, when illness interfered. The highest
praise we can accord her is that she would
have proved very acceptable substitute
for Nine. Lehman. Nine. Rolla will not
please those who like shrill timbre,
tremolo and "girlish' stage manners, but
she will delight those who admire a pure,
true, mellow voice, admirably trained and
devoted to the art of tastefully interpret
ing songs of lyric or dramatic calibre.
