Palace audiences who like their
music to come high. were introduced
to q above high G yesterday when
Phyllis Nelson Terry. the Englisr
actress. came back as the top note on
the programme. For the time being
Miss Terry has dropped Shakespeare
from her acquaintance and put her
shoulder to the task of lifting songs
above the heads Of auditors
At first with Dear Old Pal Of Mine"
her voice seemed rather cold, though
clear. but as she trllled through Values
II warmed UP, and so did her hearers in
their applause. When she delivered
"Couplets du Myself" her tones took on
color and after they swarmed UP to the

Terry received her greatest tribute
when she reclted poem reminding
everyone to remember cripples who have
given their youth for France. and not
to look upon such veterans as the vii.

Miss Terry Is OF course strikingly
handsome, with a countenance that Il
remarkably delicate In view Of her
statuesque proportions, and for those

Vile. as they say OF Ibsen. is always
good for q laugh.
