Use my middle name. Dolores, because

Though 7 came to talk music with
Nile. Dolores. it seemed so much pleas

years old and sang up to the time of
his death. That was because he sang
correctly. He didn't have any method.

Europe while 7 was growing UP. They
would not let me travel with them, but
had me stay in Paris with my grand
parents while they sang for their and

Tt interested me 10 learn of Mile. Do
lores' parentage. Her mother was
FRENCH; her father Italian. In tastes
and tendencies though. the daughter
belongs to Germany. This fact is proven
in her remarkable programs. Latin
singers are not much given to Bach.
II they 60 in for the classics at all they
do not get beyond Scarlatti as a rule,
but Mile. Dolores loves Bach and sings
songs by the great contra puntist which
are rarely presented. Probably most
singers would find them too hard In
view OF her spiritual and Temperament
tai relationship with Teuton influences
and her out and out Latin parentage,
the programs which she viii sing for
as assume a curious interest, aside
from their artistic Importance.
LIKE sEMBRICH
For that reason [ append them both
with the remark I made to Mile. Do
lOres when she handed them TO me.
There is not a singer I know of, with
the possible exception Of Nine. Sem
brich. who can group SO many schools
of composition on one program and
reach as high standard of interpre-
tation Of them as can Mile. Dolores.
Both programs viii be given at the
Garrick theater-the first tomorrow
night, the second Thursday night The
latter VIII be repeated in Oakland Fri
DAY afternoon. Taking thought on the
versatility that these programs demand
of their Interpreter, look them over and
then be puzzled over the question
which is the finer, and which shall
hear?"
