and power of Miss McGuirk's soprano
voice is indeed extremely rare for Il
young lady of but eighteen years.

was a worthy one. Her voice has
come to the notice of several theatri-
cal magnates, and just before she
sailed from New York, in February,
she sang before several of these gen
tlemen at Aeolian hall. The result
was an offer in light opera and must
