FELICT Lyme, YOUNG AMERICAN
MADQNA, Will SNGHERE

The most mote w0fthys was one on q
stormy Sunday afternoon, when de-
spite the weather a record breaking
thrcng Of 10000 people appeared.
1T was one year after her London
season that Miss Lyme made special
trip to Kansas City to give a. concert
before her fellow townsmen. The box
office receipts reached the astonishing
sum of $4,000. sst
j In view of the worldwide proEni-
hence she had attained. It was not
surprising that Miss LYME should be
chosen to head the Quinlan Grand
Opera company on its remarkable tour
OF the world-a tour that lasted an
entire year. From London to South
Africa, thence to Australia. and back
to America across Canada, the soprano
was heard. and everywhere she Great
ed a furcre. The young prima donna,
said the Melbourne Age, received an
ovation such as has been heard rare
ly.' But the climax Of critical appro-
baton was reached In Canada: The
Winnipeg Tribune compared her
thrills to the notes of a nightingale,
exquisite in their naturalness;;' while
the Montreal Star said: She is Hike
Sembrich in the infinite pains she
takes to make every phrase symmet-
rical, to polish an ordinary run, to
account unsteady for the embellish-
ments she can fling out so brilliantly
"No sooner had Miss Lyme conelud-
ed her globe encircIing tournee than
she was secured by Mr.. Henry Russell
for special end.of-the-season appear
ance with the Boston Opera company.
Mr.. Russell was familiar with Miss
Lyne's spectacular career, but he was
hardly prepared for the avalanche of
enthusiasm that marked her American
EopRratic debut ii 'Rigoletto.i So deep.
~ was he impressed that he promptly
secured her for 20 appearances dur
ing the winter of 1911 -15,
1T was rare, indeed, to have the
ultra-conseryative Boston critics In
dulge In phrases of such unrestrained
enthusiasm as they employed on this
occasion. Philip Hale in the Herald
wrote: b Miss Lyme trfumphed glori-
ousiy. The audience was for once en-
thusiastic with an honesty and feryor
that reminded many of the old nights
In Mechanics building. There has
been no scene like that OF last night
IN the Boston opera house this season
Or in any season preceding it.
1t is only the truth to say that
throughout the whole season no sing
en- has been so spontaneously and
heartily applauded,' was the report BY
III. T. Parker in the Transcript. From
beginning 10 end Miss Lyme was mis-
tress 81 herself and of her art.
DIN Downes nj the POST asserted
that the great charm of Miss Lyne's
performance was its naturalness and
simpl icityth this and her beautiful
voice. It IS q fresh. giriisIi voice,
wrote Mr.. Downes, and ideal for such
a role. Miss Lynn was appiauded to
the ec1oi- 4sTf
s..aThe performance was most not
able said the Traveller. For once an
audience Of blase opera -goeFs rose in
their seats and shouted bravo With
an enthusiasm that has not been seen
here in years. e
With such unanimity of opinion, 1t
Is small wonder Miss lyme should
have been sought for appearances IN
the concert field In which she Is now
proving tremendous fayorite. .

FOR VARIATION IN The MENU

Here is a good way of baking cod:
Have the fish skinned and backbone
removed. Lay on an earthenware plat

butter, then in crumbs and lay on one
half of fish. When covered fold other
side over. brush with beaten egg, mois'
ten the crumbs with the butter. There
will be some oyster liquor in the but
ter from dipping, but use 1t. Cover
the fish with the crumbs so prepared.
Do not put any water on the fish. set
pan Of water under the platter to keep
platter from cracking and have oven
hot. A four-pound fish will require
ohe.half pint oysters. one.half pint
crumbs and one-quarter cupful Of but

ON the platter 1t 10 baked in. II you
