For four seasons Miss Melrose has been one of the prime attractions on the Swarthmore Chautauqua circuits. She has appeared again and again at some of the towns and has always been received with the greatest delight by her audiences. Her serene soprano has sufficient volume to make won derful effect with brass band accom-. paniment, and as she appears with the Colangelo Italian Band her numbers should be among the most popular of the entire Chautauqua week. Prior to her engagements with the Chautauqua she studied under Marie Lucas, Mime. Capiani's star protege, and toured for two seasons with the Eastern Concert Company.
