exquisite and most humanity beautiful,

core for the Jewel Song" But in the
later scenes the performance was simply

for whom the singer had not already

It is not safe to predict what a singer
will be in one role from her achievement
in another, nor even sometimes what she
will be in the same role at d1nerent
