WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.

Managers of big city terminals

Like every music-loving country,
the people Of the Argentine have their
favorite artists, and no series Of ar-
.ioles pertaining to mus.c-!oyin9 Ar
gentina would be complete X Amer
leans were not introduced to that
dainty and talented little Spanish
music hall queen, Aurora JauRret, bot
ter known to tho theatrical world az
LA Goya." A theatrical season in
Buenos Ayres would hardly be COM
plete without a three months visit Of
this ballad singer from Madrid. With
the possible exception Of Caruso or
Tito Ruffo, there comes to the whole
Of South America no artist to rival La
Goya in popularity.
For fully three months she attracts
capacity audiences at the Tcatro de la
Opera, one Of the largest theatres in
Buenos Ayres. The last weeks Of her
stay In the Argentine capital are a cas-.
for the police to handle. Crowds form
In front Of the theatre nightly in their
scramble to secure the few admission
tickets on sale. It Is an interesting
sight for the foreigner to see mounted
police clearing the streets and side
walks Of the eager and excited La Goya
worshippers.

among the best artists on the concert
stage. She sings her Spanish songs, os
the old and modern school, with the
same degree of grace and mastery as
John Mccormack renders his Irish
numbers or Harry Lauder his quaint
Scotch ditties. She possesses an excel
lent lyric soprano voice. which has been
thoroughly trained and which she uses
with skill that muny grand opera
star could hear with profit. She is
also fine musician, and is credited
with having cleverly orchestrated most
of her favorite songs. At all private
affairs she plays her own piano az
