Perhaps her best number was The
Villanelie.' one of the most difficult
of compositions TO sing. In that il is
replete with rung ranginb from E. to

high C. Miss Tout sang this with
ease and she entranced the audience.
They recalled her again and again.
Another number that was given in n
waltz song, "Nymphes ct Sylvains."
This song was composed especially

SAYS:
The program given my Maggie Tout

last night was enormously named a
grand opcratlc concert IL included
three ariss by Miss Tout, but the
numbers were for the most part Eng

The enthusiasm of the audience
for the magnificent voice. of the young
singer and the other excellent num-
bers of the program was so great
that recalls were given In every case.
Miss Tout's voice Is high soprano OF
unusual volume and much sweetness.
In the Puccini and DAqua arias the
compass OF the voice is exhibited and
high notes reached that are attempted
BY few sopranos.
The English songs showed another
phase of the artists work. They were
sung with delicate shading and ex.
preston that gave evidence of true
insight for the poetical value of the
music 1t is apparent that Miss Tout
has brilliant future II she continues
voice training under tse best masters.
