Miss Sessions is one of the two daugh-

OF rare quality and range, and her ad-

outcome of a voice trial with several
other young ladies at the theater week
ago. Her appearance, under the name OF

to be in the nature of beginning of
career In concert and opera. in which her
friends predict for her bright future.
