JEAN Hf WILEY DAVIS MUTELY LISTENS TO
 OWN VOICE IN SONG

The making of special records for The Phillips Go. has begun very aus piciously. The first person to sing for the new company was Susan Hawley Davis, and she acquitted herself as a record maker with the same measure of distinction that she so easily achieves whenever she appears in con- cert or in church. The nrsr ''proof'' of her effort has already been re- ceived in Bridgeport and has been listened to by Mrs. Davis and several of her friends with great satisfac- tion
 The selection chosen by the singer for her first effort was Meyerbeer's s beautiful song entitled "Lieti, Signor" from Les Huguenots, and the voice of the artist is very natural and extreme ly sweet and well managed. None of the records made by other artistes such as Sembrich, Melba, Nordica or Alice Nielsen are smoother or more pleasing to the ear than the one Mrs. Davis has made with an entire ab- sence of self consciousness and in tones as fresh as those of "a woodland lark

 BEFORE THE COURT
