Two Continents Pay Tribute to Ellen
Beach Yaw, tho Great Singer.
In this closing Of the nineteenth cen
fury there has dawned a star in the
yocal armament which eclipses, in bird
like sweetness and phenomenal range,
Rll the voices of the past, says the New
York World. History will write the
name and fame of Ellen Beach Yaw as
the greatest soprano singer the world
has ever known-greater than Patti
greater than Nilsscn-greater than
Lind. The American people will find
much satisfaction in the thought that
Miss Yaw is an American girl: she was
born in New York state and the great
er portion of her early life was spent
in California.
Miss Yaw is tall, stately girl, whose
wealth of blonde hair frames a face
that is beautiful and expressive. Her
bearing and manner indicate self-pos-
session and are the embodiment of all
that is graceful and refined. The beau
ty and phenomenal range of her voice
became apparent some years ago. while
under the tuition of Nine. Bjorksten Of
New York, and under whose guidance
Miss Yaw went to Paris and studied
with the famous Della Sedie and Bax.
1t was not until two years ago that her
wonderful voice began to attract pub
lie attention-and in this brief period
she has sung herself into a popularity
that has taken others a lifetime to ac-
complish. Compared with other voices
of worldwide fame. the scale stands
thus
Miss Yaw sings without the slightest
perceptible effort, from E below the bar
to e in tho altissimo-a range of TWEEN
ty-eight tones. Her famous note-the
E above high 10 five notes higher than
Patti ever attained-and the highest
note ever voiced from a human throat.
Her singing and her methods cannot be
likened to those Of Patti or Nilsson
there is distinctiveness and an indi-
viduality that has been created by and
belongs exclusively to Yaw, who is now
engaging the attention of the whole
music-loving world.

The superauous Words.

The late Charles Carleton Coffin. the
author who first won fame as a war
correspondent, was once asked the
secret of his style, his graphic descrip-
lions having given his letters from the
front their great attractiveness. He
answered that he had no other method
other than to write his story naturally,
as If he were talking, and then to go
over his copy and strike out every word
not necessary to the sense. Cartoons
plan embodied a principle of which
many advertisers have since awaited
themselves. To be natural is to be sim
cere; to be concise is to be vigorous
and these are cardinal virtues in the
economics Of publicity.-Philadelp

should always be washed before being
