1t will be readily understood by most
people that to secure such famous Or
ganization as that headed by the worlds
greatest contralto, Nine. Scalchi, Mr..
Morris has gone to considerable eX-
pense. If the venture is financial sue

We will have opportunities of hearing
many others OF the world g famous sing

ton Of having sung before more people

year and constantly singing at the var
ious opera houses Of the two continents.
Scalchi is also the one contralto who is
complete mistress of the ford and
highly dramatic school. she sings the
immensely difficult florid music of Ar
SAGE (Seriramide) as we'll as the heavy
and deep notes that fall to the lot of
Amneris (Aida) and Azucena (Trava-
tore). She excels, however in the
grand operate boys parts which have
some of the best music IN the entire OPP
cratic works allotted to them. No one
has ever approached Scalchi in singing
and acting the role Of Siebel (Faust),
Frederick (Mignon), Urbano (Hugue-
nots). Orsino Lucretia Borga), Oscar
MASKED Bal), Cherubino Marriage of
Figaro, etc. Scalchi's voice is at once
large and flexible and Of noble quality.
1t is owing to her magnificent dictlon
that in all the music she sings whether
of the classic, dramatic, comic or senti
mental school she is SO very effective.

model, hence her success.
