HER GREAT SUCCESS
Miss Florence Flower Be-
comes a Leading Soprano,
WITH THE MOZART CLUB
Things Said of Her by Author
tiles in the Musica! World.

1t will be a surprise to most Of Wichita
that Miss Florence Flower has suddenly
come in possession Of a substantial fame,
with all the honor, public worship, and
newspaper enconlums which come free, be-
side.
The news OF the advancement on the
part Of Miss Flower comes in prospec-
tus, issued recently by the Mozart Sym
phony club of New York. one of the old
est and highest musical organizations in
the country, being made up Of the best of
musicians, Lund, Stoelzer, Hoch, Blodeck
and others whose names are standard in
the musical world.
This circular announces that the Mozart
club has an acquisition in Nile Florence
Flower, prima donna soprano, and thus
speaks of her: "She possesses one of the
greatest voices, either for concert of oper-
attic stage. Her voice is a dramatic So
prano Of unusual blilliancy, power and
compass. Her range is over three octaves
and every note is full, clear and reso-
nant. There is a peculiar charm and
pathos in her voice that at once appeals
TO the heart Of her listener and her power
over an audience is something wonderful.
She is noted for her dramatic arias Able
critics have predicted the greatest Of ca
resrs for Miss Flower"
It will be remembered by almost every
body in Wichita that Mss Flower had
a wonderfully strong voice. 1t was so
powerful that IL IS a matter Of local h.s-
tory that when she appeared al a Hutch
inson musical festival the people from
other points openly jeered her, and sue
ceeded in getting some of the Wichita
people who were along to join them in
their criticisms.
Miss Flower knew of these criticisms.
and when she came back she came to the
Eagle er1ice and said: 81 don't care what
they say about my voice, know its power
and that I can sing. 1 am not afraid of
criticism
1t will be remembered also that she trav-
eled over Kansas giving concerts, not very
we'll patronized because she was a Kan
sas singer and didn't have an Italian
name
She has been absent from Wichita some
thing over a year and has probably been
studying IN the east, perhaps in Europe,
for the prospectus published by the Mo
Fart club shows that the following has
been said of her:
You have a wonderful voice; your home
Is on the stage" -Signor Arturo Marescal-
chi, director vocal music, Chicago conser-
vatary.
Great compass, great ability, great
power and great presence. What more can
I say?"-SignSr Vitorio Carpi, vocal in
structor, Milan, Italy
your voice IS wonderful; beyond de-
scription. There are no heights in lyric
art to which you may not aspire. PRO
fessor Sangamon, ef1-member faculty,
Heidelberg, Germany. Fifteen years a
member Of the faculty, and twenty-seven
years a vocalist and instructor OF vocal
mUsic)
Your voice IS beyond description and
your dramatic ability something wonder
ful"-Mr. Samuel Kayzer, president Chi
ago conservatory.
Your voice is divine MADAME Dove
Boetti, vocal instructor Milan, Italy.
The chances are that the Mozart club
will be here some time this season and
Wichita will turn out enmasse. There
will not be a scoffer in the lot either.
The prospectus publishes a fine portrait
of Miss Flower. From the style OF her
hair and dresses she apparently now has
a maid and all other accessories Of night
