The pupil suffering from tremolo or
even very strong vibrato must have

cured by persistent effort of the right

In singing in public as well as when
practicing the singer must stand sc

CALIFORNIA; WELCOME.
San Francisco the First American City
to Hear Tetrazzini

San Francisco was the first Ameri-
can city to hear Luisa Tetrazzini sing.
When she appeared in "Rigoletto' at
the Tivoli Jan. II, 1905, the Chronicle
critic said: mo wonder that Conried
has signed Sgnorina Tulsa Tetraz-
zini to sing the Sembrich and Melba
roles next season. Hearing her last
evening as Gilda in 'RigOletta' at the
opening of the first opera season IN
the new Tivoli Opera House, 1t was no
treason to think that at some nearby
day Melba and Sembrich may be
signed to sing Tetrazzini roles. This
young prima donna, whose name,
though we'll known in Europe, has
been practically unspoken and imprint
ed in this country, except among the
Latin Americans, made an instanta-
neous and electrifying success last
night. She gave the vast audience
which gathered to hear the Italian
singers. who have come via Mexico
and Havana bound, surprise ana
hours of thrilling pleasure.
"The very first note Tetrazzini sang
made the audience hold its breath, and
by the time she had finished caro-
nome it was cheering and clapping
