ronto Saturday Night, high class
weekly, reviewing II recital given by
her In Toronto. said
Miss Ruth Waite, an American
girl, from Montana, gave n most credit
able song recital last week. Miss
| Waite has IA charming stage presence
and gives every evidence OF being a
serious musician. Her voice IL Of ap-
pealing quality and she sings artisti-
cally rather than showily She has Il
simple, direct style and her program
was unhackneyed and of more than
average interest. 1t included an air
from Tschaikowskys Jeanne dare"
Berlioz's "L'Absence" and Wagner's
'Traumme." as well as lyrics by com
posers as differentiated in epoch and
manner as Debussy and Purcell. Max
Roger and Mozart"
The Canadian Courier said "She
sang. as may be expected, with n high
degree OF artistry. Her voice IL of re-
markable flexibility, great sweetness
and lyric character which becomes
dramatic through Interpretation rather
than by sheer vocalism. She sang
with eXquisitely sympathetic color"
Catholic Register: Miss Waite has
a pleasing dramatic soprano voice OF
flexibility and sweetness, which shows
careful training. She was heard TO ad-
vantage in a very representative pro
gram of songs. They were all sung
artistically, and with splendid tone
quality but special mention might be
made OF Tschaikowsky's Air des
Adieux," Mozart's "Voi &c Sapcte."
Wagner's "Traumme" and Purcell's
delightful "Nymphs and Shepherds
which numbers were received with
particular approval by the large aud
ience present"
Miss Waite herself Is very modest
in regard to development Of her voice,
saying that such Improvement Is only
such as might be expected as a result
of hard work under most capable in
structors during period of three
years. She does not wish the impress
sion to obtain that she is an operate
star. She is glad of this opportunity
to show her townspeOple what she has
accomplished, but has not yet reached
the end of her career as a student,
even though she is now licensed by
the cOnservat ory as a teacher.
