ever refute the impression that Har-
risburS does not support great artists.

stranger. When she sang here last

title of Americas unrivaled So
prano." The beauty of her voice. the
charm of her personality and her
winsome manners make a combina-
tion that is, indeed, unrivaled by any

best types evolved in our melting

brought to America when but three
years old, and has received her musi-
cal education almost entirely in New
York City.

highest honors. He was later profes-
Dorothea Institute, at Naples, for sew
eral years.
