expressions in print about the unknown
girl who had made such an emphatic
success but these We're not alone in their
expressions of admiration of the young
artist, for she must have been an artist
since she was born-as every detail in
New York conceded the same praise and
delight over the charm and simplicity
of her manner and especially over the
exceedingly beautiful quality of her
voice.
At the close Of the first season. Nine.
GIuck went with Bonci on the concert
tour through Cuba. and when they re-
turned, what Bonci said of the young
singer was even more important than
the quantities of lavish praise that were
printed of her. BOnci was most enthu-
siastic, and said that he enjoyed every
tone she sang, and he added that hers
should be one of the greatest careers
because she had everything in her favor,
as well as the charm to attract her
audiences. This has since proven true
far beyond the expectations Of any one,
even those who expected the most OF
her.
To say nothing of the roles in Nine.
Gluck's repertoire, which includes many
which she has never used in New York,
such as "Gilda" in "RigolettO," Mar
guerite" in Faust" and others. She
has all the popular oratOrios; and she
has already sung Creation" Elijah,
Verdrs Requiem" and Horatio Parker
.'Hora Novissima" Elijah she sang
before no less critical audience than that
Of the New York OratoriO patrons last
season. and her Requiem was one Of
the most lavishly praised musical events
Of Boston. where she sang it with the
Handel and Hydn Society.
AG II he recalled. Nine
Gluck sang last season, beginning August
8, in Bar Harbor. twenty-nine concerts
outside of the Louisville, Richmond, Va;
indianapolis, and Norfolk. Conn, con-
certs, in which she had sensational sue
cess. Especially in New York City. Nine.
Gluck appeared eighteen times in con-
cert. which is perhaps an unprecedented
record.
