BRAVO, ELIZABETH PARKINSON
Kansas City Singers Triumph Shared
With Two Other Western Girls.

Grace Carneau's Paris Cable to the Chi
cage Tribune.)
Three western girls-two from ILL
nois and the third from Kansas City
carried off al the honors at the last
public musical just given by Madame
Marchesi in her salons in Paris. The
new stars. from whom so much is ex-
pected, are Miss Elizabeth Parkinson
of Kansas city, Miss Ada Adams of
Chicago and Miss Ellen Beach Yaw Of
Illinois. Miss Parkinson. as already
announced. viii make her debut in
Brussels in the spring. and possesses
a soprano voice of rare sweetness in
quality and tone
Miss Ada Adams of Chicago pos
sesses equal talent and was Vehement-
ly applauded in "TSolero" by Charles
Lenepveu- which she carried off with
Verve and style.
Miss Yaw's high notes have retained
their sweetness, and her lower regis
ter has been much improved She
achieved signal success in LIS Chan
son de fArquebusier- @
The only music sung was that by
Paul Nidue and Charles 5senepveu, Srd
the composers accompanied their ewn
works at the piano.
General Porter. the American am
bassador, with his handsome daughter
occupied the places of honor reese. ~ ed
for them in the salons. Mex. 10 the
ambassador sat the Princess Bona
parte. a great lover of music. The
American consul generals family were
also present.
BY quite a coincidence Miss Parkin-
son, who is a cousin Of President RIc-
Kinley, was listened to by two of the
presidents nieces, so that the audience
as far as the American element was
concerned, was quite official in charae-
ter. Madame Ambrose Thomas, Mad
anne GounOd and the other we'll known
personages in musical and society cir
Giles We're also present.
The afternoon was a. great triumph
for the American girl, particularly the
American girl from the west and for
the great teacher. -Marchesi. whose
whole hope for the future artists is
centered in the American girl. From
America, Marchesi says, at present, the
best voices come.
