 Seven weeks before my promised debut I fell i'll of Spanish influenza. My recovery was slow, but finally my voice regained it's strength, and I was able to go to rehearsals. It was the first of November. The time was short. In two weeks everything would be over for me-oyer or just beginning. There is a vast difference between singing with piano accompaniment and singing with the Metropoifanser- chestra of nearly 100 musicians. The same composition-I mean the aceo<h. paniment part of it-sounds differenf'r when performed by an orchestra.

 My maestro delighted me by his ut I ter frankness and simplicity. He was extremely conservative and unwilling to commit himself at first as to what could or could not do. It was only after the most exhaustive tests and exercises that he finally told me that was a genuine dramatic soprano.
