GALLI-CURCI
THE GREATEST coLoRATuRA so
PRANO OF THE GENERATION.

Great and Widespread interest has
followed the announcement of the
proposed engagement of Nine. Ameli-
ia Galli-Curci for concert program in
Ottawa. Streator promises substan-
tial patronage, and numerous sub
scriptions have been received from
La Sale, Peru, Marseilles and Seneca.
Interested Ottawans are urged to re-
spond at once. in order that the re-
quired guarantee may be obtained
without delay, and one of the few
available dates secured.
The many Ottawa patrons of the,
Chicago opera have paid glowing trib-
ute to the supremacy OF Galli-Curci.
A few such expressions are submitted
below:
1T is an unqualified pleasure to
hear Nine. Galli-Curci sing. She sings
as naturally as bird with voice OF
exquisite beauty. "-Rebecca Yentzer.
1T was my privilege to hear Nine.
Galli-Curci in the opera La Traviata,
One cannot hear this wonderful So
prano without being literally carried
off his feet without enthusiasm, and
thrilled to the very depths. 1t has
been said that there is only one color
atura soprano in a generation, and
this is Galli-Curci's generation. Ger
tainly Ottawa has an unsurpassed mu-
steal treat i'm store for her in the anti
cipated visit of Nine. Galli-Curci. =

able to do so. Such voice is to be
heard not many times in ones life. -
/ Mrs. Jos. NJ. Megafiln.
One does not have to be a 'musi

like voice is sure to capture both lay
