IN THE WORLD, TO BE HERE

BrunsWick's musiclovers will well
come the announcement that Ellen
Beach Yaw. the great soprano singer,
will appear in Brunswick Oh March l6,
N concert No attraction of the kind
ever given in the city will be looked
forward to with as much pleasure, not
only hy the musical people. but by
any one who can appreciate good
singing.
Ellen Beach Yaw is the undisputed
highest note singer in the country. She
has been before the public since a
mere girl, but in recent years has
been abroad studying under the great
est music-teachers in the country.
Miss Yaw was heard in Brunswick

singer in the Wcrlu
Reginald de Koven. the musical cri-
tic of the New York World in writing
about Miss Yaws singing recently,
said;
aside from the phenomenal part of
the voice, Miss Yaw has high, hex-
ible soprano, clear, sweet and even
in the upper register. Her phrasing
is intelligent, and her general style
shows both cultivation and artistic
sincerity
81 had heard so much of this singer
as a sort of slly-roeket vocalist that
her really restrained and artistic work
came as a pleasurable surprise.
She sang 'Quando Rapido,' In ex-
cellent style and finished it with an
extraordinary note-a real note-not a
squeak, not merely touched but held
G in altissimo, a major third above
the Tetrazzini note
"Tetrazzini's voice may be likened
to flute; this remarkable organ of
Miss Yaw's can be said to resemble
the piccolo, the highest instrument in
the orchestra
Manager Finney will announce later
when the sale of seats will go on,
and it is expected that one of the
largest audiences that has ever at
tended the Grand will be out to hear
this great singer
