NEW YORK App1AUDs AIDA.

Nine. Frances Aida made her first
appearance at the Metropolitan Opera
house this season on December IL, in
one Of her favorite roles, that Of Mimi
in "Boheme.
When Aida first came to the Metro
poIitain few years ago, she was at
once recognized as the possessor of a
voice of exceptional beauty. That the
prima donna is also fortunate enough to
possess abundant intelligence and an
unbounded capacity for hard work is
evidenced by the manner in which her
art had broadened since her debut here.
The following excerpts from the New
York press show with what apprecia-
tion the diva was received on her ap-
pearance If ever before she has sung
so well at the Metropolitan as she did
last night, then the occasion escapes
memory, and the huge audience appre-
