favorite singer. and Carl Hayden. a
noted vocalist, will bring a new oper-
attic playIet. "A VeniciaE Romance"
TO the Empire for the first half of next
week OF these two, the Peoria Star
says, Mrs Fitzsimmons sings with
the same artistic finish and perfec-
tions which Peorians have learned to
admire, her waltz song in the open
ing being a marvel OF pure. crisp,
clean-cut technique. Her voice is as
sweet and musical as ever. Carl Hay
den makes a pleasing impression as a
Hungarian count. He is good looking
with a dashing air. and his melodious
tenor is heard TO excellent advantage,
especially in the duet number. An
arrangement o: the Beautiful Blue
Danube waltzes was one OF the hits
of the act"
