Her singing, however, evoked more enthu- siasm than anything else on the pro- gram, and after being warmly recalled several times she was compelled to re- peat her number. She has a pure voice of excellent quality, clear and sympa- thetic, and of faultless intonation, and sine sings with taste and expression.
