VERSATILE PETROvA.

Nine. Petrova, the celebrated act
rcss starring in Popular Plays and
Players pictures for the Metro pro-
gram, has igned long time contract
with prominent graphophone company.
She will give both songs and recita-
tions, making at least one double disc
record every month for period Of ap
proximately Is months.
This will not in any way interfere
with her motion picture activities.
The star will sing songs and arias
from operas, which will give her an
opportunity to display her fine So
prano voice in passages calling for the
coloratura work for which she was
famed on the concert and operate
stage. The first of these will probably
be Vinya's song from THE Position"
Her recitations, however, will for the
most part be of her own writing.
Nine. Petrova has equal proficiency
In writing, acting for stage or screen,
singing and dancing. One of her first
double disc records will contain four
Rotations of her own composition.
